TPC 628: Compact manufacturing cell concept for fully automatic tube production

  • Attractive price/performance ratio
  • Low space requirement
  • High flexibility
  • Adapted solutions for common market requirements
  • Loading from bar or coil
  • Processing of tube ends on one or both sides
  • Copper (up to Ø 28 mm) and stainless steel (up to Ø 22 mm)

COMPACT BUT HIGHLY FLEXIBLE

Due to the current demand in the field of renewable energies, especially with regard to heat pumps but also for domestic hot water systems, we have decided to create a new, particularly compact production cell concept that is specially adapted to this field and offers customers a capacity expansion at a good price/performance ratio with the smallest possible space requirement.

Advantages:

  • Attractive price, good price / performance ratio
  • Extremely compact, small footprint
  • High flexibility for short pipelines
  • Bending possible with and without mandrel
  • Tube ends can be machined on both sides (depending on geometry)
  • Arbitrarily expandable
  • Punching of holes on the bending machine possible (depending on geometry)
  • Volatilizing lubricants that eliminate the need to wash the pipe if necessary
  • Low lubricant consumption
  • Central plant control
  • Fast, easily accessible tool change
  • Modular plant design

Version 1:

Loading of finished blanks up to 1000 mm

  1. Loading of the finished sections via step conveyors
  2. Forming of the 1st pipe end- If necessary, turning of the tube and forming of the 2nd tube end
  3. Right/left bending mandrel bending system
  4. Discharge onto conveyor belt

 

Version 2:

Coil feeding incl. straightening and cutting to length

  1. Feeding of the tubes as coil material
  2. Tube straightener
  3. Calibrating and chipless cutting of the tubes
  4. Forming of the 1st tube end - If necessary, turning of the tube and forming of the 2nd tube end
  5. Compact handling
  6. Right/left bending mandrel bending system
  7. Discharge onto conveyor belt

Version 3:

Combination of straight pipe feeding and coil feeding

  1. Feeding of the tubes as coil material
  2. Tube straightener
  3. Calibrating and chipless cutting of the tubes
  4. Alternative to coil: feeding of fixed lengths up to 1000 mm
  5. Forming of the 1st tube end - If necessary, turning of the tube and forming of the 2nd tube end
  6. Compact handling
  7. Right/left bending mandrel bending system
  8. Discharge onto conveyor belt

Further expansion stages:

 

The new cells can be expanded as required using the transfluid machine portfolio to include, for example:

  • To machine the second side of the pipe or trim excess lengths
  • Necklines to addition
  • Feed nuts
  • Control Stations
  • Printing / Labeling Stations
  • and much more
