Achieving Results

 Through experience and technical knowledge, Bronx/Taylor-Wilson’s tube straightening machines deliver compelling solutions to the market by:

Enhanced Efficiency

• Roll angles are quickly and easily adjusted to provide line contact with the tube surface over the maximum effective roll profile.

• Set up time is minimized though our patented COMPuter Aided Setting System.

Improved Quality

• Hydraulic lift mechanism on the roll entry automatically adjusts roll position to prevent damaging tube ends.

• A range of heavy-duty style machines provide enhanced rigidity, with consistent straightness and roundness.

• The COMPASS software package can be customized to provide management, maintenance and quality control information, including: calibration and wear compensation; maintenance information; fault finding; and mimic flow diagrams.

Superior Technology

• Unique design allows thin walled tube to be straightened accurately without surface blemishes.

• The ability to straighten at speeds up to 200 meters per minute (approximately 600 fpm).

• Hydraulic lift mechanism with sensor automatically adjusts rolls to accept upset pipe.

• Pressure sensing units may be fitted on each roll to provide an accurate indication of the pressure applied to the tube.

Safety

• The drives are set in the back of the machine, away from the operator.

• The machine operator has a complete view of the straightening process from the operating console.
