Scope of Application for Mold-Shared Tube Making Machine
I. Applicable Tube Specifications
Tube Types
Round tubes, square tubes, rectangular tubes, primarily using round-to-square conversion technology; Ordinary irregular-shaped tubes (elliptical, octagonal, etc.) generally still require dedicated rolling mills.
II. Applicable Raw Material Materials
Suitable for: Q195/Q235/Q345 plain carbon steel, galvanized strip steel, some low-alloy high-strength steel, primarily low-carbon steel strip.
III. Applicable Order Modes (Most Important Dimension for Factory Selection)
Highly Recommended
- 1.
Orders with multiple specifications, small batches, and frequent specification changes: Factories where changing multiple pipe diameters/square/rectangular tube sizes incurs high mold changeover time costs.
- 2.
Export-oriented tube manufacturers: Overseas customers have diverse specifications and small single-batch tonnage; one machine covers multiple specifications, reducing customers’ investment in multiple equipment and providing flexible order processing.
- 3.
Manufacturers primarily producing square and rectangular tubes: Using a shared mold for round-to-square tube forming ensures high-quality forming of the inner corners of the square tubes, facilitating subsequent bending, punching, and deep processing such as spraying.
- 4.
Small and medium-sized tube manufacturers: Those who don’t want to invest huge sums of money upfront in purchasing dozens of sets of rolling mills can reduce the capital tied up in mold inventory.
- 5.
Frequent new product development: New specifications are frequently developed; trial production can begin simply by inputting parameters without waiting for new molds.
Not suitable for: Ultra-thick-walled and ultra-high-strength special steel pipes: Deformation pressure is extremely high, and the stress conditions of shared rolling mills are complex; dedicated rolling mills are preferred.
IV. Downstream Industry Application Scenarios
Suitable for: Photovoltaic support tubes, square and rectangular tubes for building steel structures, railings, fitness equipment, furniture tubes, mechanical structural components, building scaffolding tubes, and tubes for general steel structure engineering.
