This range of machines gives answer to the necessities of machining special tubes ends whose parameters of diameter, length, material and processing, are in a big segment.
This type of special machines are configured on the base of a turning headstock and they are equipped with special systems for finishing, verification and selection of the workpieces. The machine is completed with the storage system, tube load and unload system.
The set of subsystems are designed and developed in a modular and reconfigurable way to allow the processing of different tube diameters and lengths and also to eliminate or to include future sub processes.
The objective of this type of machines is to complete the process of mechanized of series of tubes in an only machine, this machine must be reconfigurable and with a capacity of very high production. The rank of diameter of processable tube goes from XXXmm to YYYmm and Maxima length of 12m.
Configuration
The machine is configured depending on the manufacture processes required by the range of tubes to process. Initially, the machining processes in the area of the main spindle are configured and they are completed with the configuration of feeding and load and unload system processes.
.
The configuration is designed to allow, depending on the involved processes, to work at the same time with several tubes with the consequent increase of productivity of the machine.
The machine must allow its reconfiguration for different tubes quality, size or length processing. Also it should be possible to remove no necessary sub processes of the sequence for tube that does not require it.
Equipment The equipment of the machine depends on the configured processes. As examples of characteristic operations emphasize:
Positioning
Internal – external beveling
Facing
Internal – external threading
Interior cleaning
Positioning to transporting tape (and selection)
Verification
Feeding
Applications
The main application of this type of machines is fundamentally series of tubes of different lengths and diameters that present a machining process, mainly turning and threading, and they demand short times of process and high quality.
As application examples emphasize:
Special machines for tube of quality of diameter superior to 60mm and length up to 1200mm
