Olimpia 80, Tube Mills
Two new tube mills installed by Olimpia 80
Two new tube mills were recently installed in China by Olimpia 80 to the same customer. These are two complete lines destined to produce high quality welded tubes mostly for automotive applications.
One tube mill uses a LASER tech- nology and the second one, the HF welding method.
The Laser tube mill can cover the OD range up to 80 mm and 2 mm max thickness, with a 6 kW laser welding generator.
The HF tube mill can arrive at the max speed of 100 m/min to cover the range of OD up to 80 mm and 2 mm max, with a generator of 300 kW.
Others different tube mills are in commissioning in Mexico and Algeria; some of these are destined to produce tubes for automotive industries, con rming the fact that this market is in continuous expan- sion in the last 3-5 years.
The big contract signed in Algeria, for a supply of a total of 5 tube mills for stainless steel products, started the activity with the two rst tube mills, waiting the others three in construction on our plant, together with a complete steel service center for the stainless steel coils processing.
A big tube mill with the cage forming technology for square and rectangular sections, is in com- missioning in India, to cover the range from 80x80 up to 200x200 mm and 10 mm max thickness of carbon steel.
At last, the most important tech- nology innovation is the recent tube mill for stainless steel tubes installed with the IPG ber laser generator, to produce small size of tubes.

Roll-Kraft
Roll-Kraft’s annual tube, pipe and roll
forming seminar continues to set
attendance records
Roll-Kraft recently hosted its annual regional tube and pipe and roll forming training semi- nars in Mentor, Ohio. This year’s event was attended by more than 60 companies from all over the United States, Canada, Mexico, and as far away as Korea. Many companies sent several attendees. Both seminars included tours of Roll-Kraft’s state-of-the-art cor- porate facility in Mentor.
Seminar attendees included oper- ators, maintenance and quality personnel, supervisors, and man- agement of varying experience levels in the tube and pipe and roll forming industries.
Robert A. Sladky, Vice President of Tube Mill Engineering for Roll- Kraft, was the organizer of the event, as well as one of the speak- ers for each of the two programs.
