Tailor Drawn Tubes
Against the background of increasing requirements for lower weights in the automotive industry, the Tailor Drawn Tube technique becomes more and more
important when producing tubes.
The methods for the production of these special tubes known up to now, can only be
applied experimentally and are therefore very labour-intensive.
The increased demands for narrow tolerances can with difficulties only be fulfilled by
the current technical possibilities. Furthermore it is not possible to achieve a „steady“
process reliability when basing on the today’s technology.
Due to the numerous influencing parameters in the Tailor Drawn Tube drawing
technology, the tube drawing process applied today will very soon reach its technical
limits.
An intensive development work and positive practical experience enable BÜLTMANN
to assist their customers in combining theory and practice. The Tailor Drawn Tube
Production System make BÜLTMANN in conjunction with the well-tried BÜLTMANN
draw bench technology can now be implemented in the tube production industry.
When developing the Tailor Drawn Tube drawing technology BÜLTMANN attached
greatest importance to the possibility to use the technological components which
have already been used for other applications.
In order to achieve very narrow tolerances, especially in the transition zone of wall
thickness, and to ensure the necessary process reliability at the same time, a closed
control circuit is indispensable. This process control is assured by combining sensible
and very dynamically reacting drive systems and especially designed measuring
devices and process software.
When harmonizing both components a precise, reliable and user-friendly control of
the Tailor Drawn Tube process is possible (see the schematic diagram).
In addition to the necessary drawing equipment, BÜLTMANN is also offering a
complete process consulting service for the Tailor Drawn Tube applications.
