Forging of thick-walled tubes
Proven concept with added function
To help you boost business, SMS group modified and extended its proven SMX concept to include tube forging. Specifically, we expanded the plant layout to incorporate a third manipulator that holds a mandrel bar. Also integrated are conically shaped tools that ensure high-quality tube surface finishes.
Benefits
- Production of straight and stepped tubes
- Lower eccentricity, e.g. from ± 15 mm in the mother tube to max. ± 2.6 mm in the finished tube
