Fully automated ASMAG line for
precision steel tubes
ASMAG GmbH is currently finalising a
complete line for the manufacturing of
precision steel tubes up to 75mm for a
customer located in Turkey.
The new line allows an increase of
output and a significant improvement in
product quality.
The fully automated line consists of
draw bench, ten-roll straightener,
multiple sawing unit and existing testing
unit, visual testing table and stacking-
and-bundling unit.
At the line entering side incoming
bundles with tubes up to OD 80mm
are separated automatically by an
innovative finger separator.
After passing the hydraulic in-line
pointing press the tubes are drawn
with high speed on a 450kN triple draw
bench up to a length of 14.5m.
With the benchmarking
ASMAG ten-roll straightening
machine RRM-pro-70/10
the customer’s straightness
demands and even more
challenging expectations can
be exceeded.
The integrated multiple saw
allows automated positioning
of each saw depending on
specific requirements, highest cutting
performance and best cutting quality
together with best saw blade life-
time. The Turkish customer decided
to choose ASMAG for a number of
reasons, including reputation for quality,
high precision tube manufacturing
equipment and the fact that ASMAG
provides a complete solution.
