Guide for Using Stainless Steel Tube Molding Machine Equipment

I. Equipment Structure and Working Principle
The stainless Steel Tube Machine is mainly composed of a unwinding machine, a forming unit, a welding system, a sizing module, a cutting device and a control system. Its working principle is to form the stainless steel strip into round or square tubes through a continuous rolling process, and achieve seamless connection using argon arc welding/TIG welding technology, and finally cut the tubes automatically according to the set length.
II. Operating Procedure
Preparation:
Check if the power voltage (usually 380V ± 5%) and air pressure (0.6 - 0.8 MPa) are stable;
Install matching molds (select the roller group according to the pipe diameter specification);
Load the stainless steel strip (the recommended thickness is 0.3 - 3mm, and the width error is ≤ 0.1mm);
Production and Debugging:
Input parameters on the control panel (welding current 80 - 200A, travel speed 2 - 15m/min);
Perform no-load trial run to observe the lubrication condition of each transmission component;
Take samples to detect the weld penetration depth (it should reach more than 70% of the base material thickness);
Production:
Start the automatic feeding system and keep the strip aligned with the center line of the forming rollers;
Real-time monitor the welding quality (ensure the temperature in the weld area ≤ 150℃ through infrared temperature detector);
Regularly inspect the ellipticity of the pipe materials (tolerance range ± 0.1mm);
III. Safety and Maintenance Points
Safety Regulations
▶ Operators must wear heat-resistant gloves and goggles
▶ No should be piled within 1 meter around the emergency stop button
Daily Maintenance
✓ Clean the welding slag every shift (use copper scraper)
✓ Add lithium-based lubricating grease to the gearbox every week (in accordance with GB/T 7324 standard)
✓ Calibrate the laser diameter measuring instrument accuracy every month
