Enhanced quality: New technology optimizes copper tube production
Enhanced quality: New technology optimizes copper tube production
SMS Meer has developed a new production technology and employed it for the first time in the works of the Italian tubemakers, Silmet S.p.A. : ProConTube measures and then corrects the eccentricity of the copper tubes during the drawing process. Manufacturers can thus produce tubes with thinner walls and of higher quality.
The core element of ProConTube is a special sensor unit integrated into the drawing die. It constanly monitors the wall-thickness distribution over the circumference of the passing tube. The electronic controller immediately processes the data from this online measurement and permanently regulates the material intake with the highest precision.
