Hollow shaped
universal forming
from Oto Mills
THE range of universal hollow shapes
mill developed by Oto Mills consists of
three sizes, HSU 403, 604 and 1206.
HSU technology is, however, now very
mature and Oto Mills is also available
to evaluate extensions in the range
upwards. In particular Oto Mills believes
it may be interesting to extend the
range up to 250x250x13 for structural
HSU25013. This will depend on market
demand.
It is important to note here some
critical features that have been ‘solved’
in the design of HSU machine.
In particular it must be highlighted
that the “easy access” and the “good
visibility” features allow operators
to easily perform maintenance and
especially check the profile running
into the machine during production.
“Good visibility” enables in particular the
performance of very precise adjustments
and allows the achievement of high
quality standards for the final product.
All the settings are automatic and
the operator should not make any
judgments about how to act and what
to adjust into the mill itself. The special
software “mill manager” is designed to
allow the operator to enter data related
only to what is happening and referred
only to the final product they are getting.
Once he has entered the measurement
of the finished product he is obtaining,
taken with a simple and common caliper
and knowing the final outcome goal
in terms of dimensions, rounds and
tolerances, the software automatically
makes the needed adjustments on the
entire line. It is still possible, in case
of highly experienced professionals, to
make adjustments at any time in the
process on a single axis.
The mill is also able to produce
special products – for instance to
complete the inside scarfing of tubes
for telescopic use.
