The modern machinery of voestalpine Rotec Iberica SA includes advanced sawing machines for processing parts in tubular, sectional or rod form and a special high-tech tube cutting off method.

These machines can handle a wide range of materials, such as steel, high-grade steel, aluminium and non-ferrous metals. 

CUTTING

Tubes at voestalpine Rotec Iberica are processed with an Adige saw, five Ringmaster and three Vulcan facilities.

The Vulcan method cuts of tubular parts with a high processing speed and cycle times allowing a throughput of up to 7,000 tubes per hour, which would be completely inconceivable using any other method. The system is suitable for tube wall thicknesses of 0.4 to 7 mm, inside diameters of 6 to 100 mm and tube lengths of 3 to 500 mm. Depending on the wall thickness, diameter and material, an accuracy of between 0.2 and 0.5 mm can be achieved in straight cuts.

The dimensional range:

• AD: 8 -80 mm
• Lengths: 7 -1.600 mm independend from wall thickness and profile.

END MACHINING

voestalpine Rotec Iberica SA has several possibilities to machine the ends of cut lengths tubular parts.

With a total of 9 ECONOMY tube end machining centres and 4 Sinico cells, the company can guarantee that workpieces are processed highly efficiently and to demanding specifications in terms of length tolerance, perpendicularity and chamfer.

Dimensional range:

• Length tolerances of up to 0.08 mm accuracy
• Diameter from 8 to 80 mm.
• Wall thickness of 0.4 to 10 mm
• Tube length of 10 to 250mm

To assure quality and increase productivity, all the machines incorporate automatic feed and 100 per cent length control.
