Reika’s high-tech straightening machines Expertise in tube production lines

AFTER developing high-tech straightening machines for the tube industry, Reika has completed various straightening line installations at several well known tube mills world wide recently. Reika’s latest state-of-the-art machine design with key features as: high rigidity by solid blocks, closed ring frame design, individual roll drives, CNC – positioning, special roll geometry for maximal surface contact and wear compensation cover these requirements perfectly. All further known disadvantages of competitor’s machines have also been solved by Reika’s machine design. Reika’s know-how combined with customer’s practical experience is the basis for an excellent result. Especially the drastically improved straightness accuracy and the elimination of unstraightened tube ends provide the customers with direct economical benefit and return on investments. Required straightness accuracy of all delivered straightening machines has been under target, fulfilling customer’s demands more than perfectly. Additional highlights are totally enclosed and compact design to fulfil

the market demands of noise reduction and no emissions/environmental protection, individual roll drives minimise the wear of the rolls, free access into the working room without disturbing columns for easy maintenance and operation, central clamping of the roll carrier which is wear free and secures the precise angular and vertical adjustment without any backlash. Adjustment and guiding components are completely protected from scale, dirt and water in order to avoid corrosion or excessive wear of adjusting elements. Also complete line equipment as for example fully automatic unscrambling systems can be delivered. As a preview to Tube Düsseldorf 2010, Reika announces the presentation of its new ring saw machine for high-speed cutting of bars, profiles and big wall tubes. In addition to the well-known Reika cut–off machines, the ring saw machine will complete Reika’s product scope for several applications. Reika GmbH & Co KG – Germany
