Tube Mill Welding Section
Weld section consists of seam guide stand, squeeze roll stand, bead scarfing, seam ironer, cooling tank and optional internal bead scarfing. Where necessary, a de-twisting stand can be installed between the cooling tanks which allow seam adjustment before sizing, especially for square and rectangular tubes.
Squeeze roll stand constructions are heavy duty and precision-machined to withstand the heavy separating force at weld area, yet with high precision for even the finest adjustments.
The proper welding section set-up and arrangement in relation to induction welding are important to ensure effective and efficient welding operation. Squeeze roll diameter, seam guide, welding coil, impeder and impeder cooling affects the rapid heating of the strip edge to be welded, specifically critical for small tube induction welding below diameter 12.7 mm.
