Tube manufacture
Widely used are the technologies of tube manufacture from:
- aluminum alloys: 6,0-80,0 mm and wall thickness 0,5-2,5 mm;
- titanium alloys: 10,0-42,0mm and wall thickness 0,5-1,2mm;
- stainless steel: 3,0-50,0 mm and wall thickness 0,3 - 1,5 mm;
- copper: 5,0-10,0 mm and wall thickness 0,5 - 1,5mm;
KnAAPO's processing equipment allows executing the following actions:
- cutting of the tubing;
- chemical treatment of the tubing and its elements;
- bending of the tubing:
- manual bending;
- by specialized machine tool TG -1;
- by NC machine tools:
- TGSP-24 - up to 24mm;
- TGSP-40 - up to 40mm;
- welding of the tubing:
- soldering of the tubing by HDTV-sets;
- soft soldering of the tubing (on a base of tin);
- hard soldering of the tubing (on a base of argentums);
- automatic welding of capacitances;
- spot and roller welding (manholes of different dimensions);
- manufacture of elements of the tubing:
- distribution of a tube on the specialized machine tool SIT-1
- extraction of T-branches to SIT-2, steeply curved fittings on PGFP 20/100, focus globe bridgings on universal presser);
- strength and leakage test of all spectrums of products, its packaging.
A tube bending machine tool RB 90 CNC for bending of tubes 25-90 mm has also been bought. Country of manufacture - Switzerland.
