Rebuilding and upgrading mills
UNIVERSAL Tube & Rollform, a world
wide supplier of used tube, pipe and
rollform machinery, can help to improve
yields and get the most out of existing
equipment. Continuing to operate
machinery that no longer meets today’s
high standards for efficiency and safety
can pose an unnecessary risk.
To address this situation Universal
Tube & Rollform can rebuild, re-power
and upgrade current machinery to the
most exact specifications, directly from
its US facilities in Ohio. Its capabilities
go even further, working together with
Universal Controls Group (UCG) to
bring options such as new controls, drive
systems, die accelerators, length control
and other accessories to retrofit existing
machinery.
Universal’s rebuild, re-power and
upgrade programme provides many
benefits, including: cost savings;
accurate and reliable production;
enhanced safety; extended machine
life; documentation for retrofits; ease
of operation; installation services;
and training services. Universal also
offers one of the largest selections of
used tube, pipe mills and rollforming
machinery in the world.

Heavy-duty production crimping
OP has announced the new high-
volume crimping machine Tubomatic
V350ES, for crimping hydraulic hoses
up to 3" six spirals and industrial hose
up to 10". Designed in a horizontal
position and with low centre of gravity
to allow easy machining of tubes,
the force of 1,000 tons is suitable for
purposes other than working the hose
as it is can also be used to process
steel rods, insulators and lugs. The
machine features self-lubrication of
moving components, silent pump, back
limit switch, protactor for orientator
fittings and a particularly narrow
crimping head for crimping pipe ends
with large flanges or fittings at 90°. Also
included in the standard equipment is
the electronic control ES3 with touch-
screen colour display, which is easy
to use and is able to achieve excellent
performance and accuracy in work
management.
