Complete production lines for API tubes

THE Asmag Group is a supplier of machinery and equipment for the steel, stainless steel and non-ferrous metal industry. It combines two enterprises: Asmag and Seuthe. Asmag, Austria, designs and manufactures drawing, straightening, testing, cutting, chamfering, stacking and bundling machines. Seuthe, Germany, designs and manufactures tube and section mills. The Asmag Group has the capability to design and manufacture complete tube welding lines within the diameter range 4-323mm (0.2" to 12.7") and integrated finishing lines according to API standard – from sheet coil to ready-to-sell tube bundles. Whether for the planning of complete plants, design and manufacture of individual machinery or modernisation of existing plants, the group emphasises smooth material flow, high automation and economical operation. Contrary to the general trend, Asmag Group manufactures its machines and installations in its own workshops in Austria and Germany. Engineering, automation, production and assembly take place under a single roof. This results in high manufacturing standards,

The drill can be use for normal drilling purposes as well. Combined with a very easy to operate clamping system the machines offer best in class performances. The models are DC25, DC65, DCPACK and latest the DC221 based on the concentric clamping system. Customers can find more information

This facing line completes the thin wall processing needs in terms of squaring tube ends especially for polished and electropolished tubes that are usually cut shipless. When cutting shipless tubes the end of the tube is not ready to be welded and needs to be squared first. During this operation, the ships must not go to the inside of the tube in order to keep the surface finish 100 per cent untouched. This is the rule of the new squaring machines that allow the user to square tubes in order to have a perfect
