STCO Two-Plane Tube Straightener

The standard tubing straightener uses 3 adjustable rolls and 4 stationary rolls in each plane. Also available with sizing stations.



Hitch Feed Unit An air operated clamp grips the tube for feeding and holding. The electric CNC feeds a maximum of 36 inches (914mm) of material in one stroke.


Machine Chipless Rotary Cutoff Unit Provides a superior cut using hard tooling per tube diameter and precision depth control for tube wall thickness.

Additional Options

 

We offer an extensive line of options to meet your specific production needs, including:

Power Assist Conventional Coil Stand with Dancer Arm This option permits aluminum material to be loaded on one side of the stand while the opposite coil is feeding the machine.

 

STCO Tandem Hitch Feed

Allows for faster processing of cut lengths.

 

Straight Tube Cutoff Tube Forming Mechanism

This uses a unique "in-line" forming operation that produces a double end form that can be cut to produce a form on both ends of the tube..

 

Tube Stacker, Shuttle 2-Position with Scrap Collector

This utilizes vertical guides to contain the aluminum tube as it falls free from the exit guide of the pull-apart mechanism of the cutoff machine. Other collection devices are available upon request.

 

STCO Sizing Station

Provides accurate sizing of the width and thickness of the flat (multivoid or microchannel) tubing as it is processed by the straight tube cutoff machine..

 

Cutoff and Tube Forming Process Control System

A special control package has been designed to offer completely automatic setup and adjustment for the Cutoff and End Forming Line.

 

Tube Cutoff (Scoring) Mechanism with Integral Pull-Apart

This single station automatically scores and then separates the aluminum tubing.
