International Metalworking Machinery DealerWelded tube and pipe mills have been popular since the advent of flat rolled or coiled steel, about a 100 years ago. The tube mill is really a series of individual machines starting with an uncoiler, straightener, shear and end welder, this is also commonly known as the entry line. The forming mill consists of a break down section and forming section usually consisting of three to six passes. Each pass made up of a upper and lower arbor that contains roller die tooling which forms the steel strip gradually into a round shape. This process is carried on through the finn passes which gets the newly formed tube ready to weld. In the weld box the tube is welded by a high frequency or solid state welder. The inner and outer bead may be removed, before the four to six stand sizing section, where tube is made dimensionally accurate, or formed further into a square or rectangle. The final process is cutting the the new pipe to length, where it can be bundled in a magazine.
