Versatile Edgeform Tooling Design for Tube and Pipe Producers

Roll-Kraft Introduces Versatile Edgeform Design™ - A new roll design to reduce your tooling cost and produce more tubing with less rolls.

Unlike other designs that form the strip edges only in the first breakdown pass, Versatile Edgeform Design forms the edges in every pass before entering the fin passes. This progressive edgeforming is accomplished by increasing the amount of strip that is formed by the edgeform radii of the rolls. This results in a rounder tube entering the fin passes. Your fin passes are now doing less forming and doing what they are designed to do, remove impurities and burrs from the strip edge for a more consistent and higher quality weld. The images below shows the progressive edgeform that can only be achieved with Versatile Edgeform Design.

Compare the following design benefits listed below to your existing design.

Versatile Edgeform Design Benefits:

• Versatile Edgeform Design allows you to run multiple tube sizes with the same breakdown rolls
• Versatile Edgeform Design allows consistent weld quality, round formation into the fin passes
• Versatile Edgeform Design eliminates a peaked tube into welder
• Versatile Edgeform Design allows strip edges that will be parallel entering the welder
• Versatile Edgeform Design controls spring back of high strength materials
• Versatile Edgeform Design eliminates marking of specialty materials including titanium, stainless steel, and carbon steels
• Versatile Edgeform Design reduces tooling wear
• Versatile Edgeform Design results in less setup time
• Versatile Edgeform Design results in less scrap
• Versatile Edgeform Design improves formation of all materials, from carbon steels to titanium
