Proven top-class range of straightening and finishing equipment

摘要

Bronx/Taylor-Wilson (BTW), USA, is a renowned manufacturer of finishing equipment solutions. The company's product portfolio includes tube, pipe, bar and section straighteners, hydrostatic pipe testing machines, rotary cut-off and end facing equipment, collapse testing machines, material handling equipment and other ancillary finishing equipment. The company has installed over 1,000 straighteners worldwide, with supply to over 30 major API pipe producers in the last three years alone. Bronx straightening machines are based on high quality technology whether it is processing cold or hot pipes at over 600 deg C, thin or thick walled tubes of over 50mm, or low and high yield strength alloys of over 1,000MPa. This equipment provides extremely effective capacity, productivity and tolerance for finished goods. The company's straighteners are provided as 6 or 10-roll versions depending on user specification. The 10-roll machines have vertical adjustment on all top rolls and numbers 2, 3 and 4 bottom rolls. This allows the straightening machine to apply a more gentle deflection to the tube by deflecting or bending the material over 3 or 4 roll centre distances instead of 2 as with the 6 roll machine.
