Square Tube Forming Machine
Product Detail
Square Tube Forming Machine Has Two Different Forming Methods: W Forming vs. DFT Forming
W Forming
W forming is a versatile method used in tube mill units for producing both round and square tubes. The process of W forming includes two major methods: “push square” and “round pipe to square pipe”, both of which belong to the W forming category.
- Push Square: Originating from the rough straightening part of the steel pipe, this method involves transforming a round pipe into a square pipe from the Türkiye head.
- Round Pipe to Square Pipe: This method converts a round pipe into a square pipe during the sizing process in the main engine section of the tube mill.
W Forming Features
W forming is suitable for factories that produce both round and square tubes, offering flexibility in production. However, each steel pipe specification requires a special set of rollers, leading to an extended time for changing rolls. The key features include:
- The ability to produce both round and square tubes.
- Each specification of steel pipe requires a dedicated set of rollers.
- R angle thickening during the forming process.
- Roll changeover time is relatively long, affecting production efficiency.
DFT Forming
DFT (Direct Forming Technology) is a specialized forming method designed exclusively for producing square tubes. Unlike W forming, DFT forming converts square tubes directly from raw materials into finished square tubes.
DFT Forming Features
DFT forming is ideal for factories focusing solely on square tube production, particularly for large-diameter tubes. The benefits of DFT forming include:
- Dedicated to producing only square tubes.
- One set of rollers can accommodate multiple specifications, reducing the need for multiple roller sets.
- Roller replacement is quicker, minimizing downtime.
- High automation level, including automatic roller adjustments.
Taking the Tube Mill Unit with a Diameter of 127mm as an Example, Two Forming Methods are Compared:
| Specification | 127 Model Round to Square | 100 Square Model Square to Square |
|---|---|---|
| Steel Pipe Specification | 80mm x 80mm x 4mm | 80mm x 80mm x 4mm |
| Roller Specification | 1.5 sets (dedicated rollers) | 60×60~100×100 (combined rollers) |
| Roll Change Time | 8 hours | 4 hours |
| Roll Change Method | Replace each roller | Adjust roller positions |
| Strip Width | 314mm | 304mm |
| R Angle Change | Angle thickening | Angle thinning |
| Steel Pipe Application | Comprehensive | Construction, Structural |
| Roller Investment | One set per specification | One set for multiple specifications |
Factors Affecting the Price of Square Tube Forming Machines
The price of square tube forming machines can vary significantly based on several key factors. Understanding these factors will help you make an informed decision when selecting the right machine for your needs:
Brand Influence: The reputation and reliability of the brand play a crucial role in the pricing. Established brands often command higher prices due to their proven track record in quality and customer satisfaction.
Advanced Design Concept and Design Team: Machines designed with cutting-edge concepts and crafted by a skilled design team tend to be more expensive. These designs often result in more efficient, durable, and user-friendly machines.
Machine Component Brands: The quality and brand of the components used in the machine, such as motors, controllers, and rollers, directly impact the overall cost. Premium component brands often lead to higher machine prices but also ensure better performance and longevity.
Different Forming Methods and Roller Usage: The forming method (W forming vs. DFT forming) affects the number of rollers required. W forming typically requires a dedicated set of rollers for each specification, leading to higher costs, whereas DFT forming uses fewer rollers, reducing the investment in tooling.
After-Sales Service: Comprehensive after-sales services, including technical support, maintenance, and spare parts supply, add value to the machine and influence the overall price. Machines with extensive after-sales packages often come with a higher price tag.
Degree of Automation: Machines with a higher degree of automation, such as automatic roller adjustments and digital controls, tend to be more expensive. However, the increased efficiency and reduced manual labor often justify the additional cost.
