tube Mills

Upgrading and rebuilding tube mill and roll forming lines UNIVERSAL Tube & Rollform has been working on upgrading and rebuilding tube mill and roll form lines using state of the art controls, new drive systems and die accelerators from Universal Controls Group. The current economic conditions have led many companies to upgrade their tube mills or rollform lines as opposed to going to the expense buying new equipment. This is the area Universal Tube & Rollform has been expanding in over the last several years. It is uniquely qualified to assess the current condition of customer’s machinery and offer expert advice for upgrades. It works together with Universal Controls Group to assess the options customers need such as new controls, drive systems, die accelerators, length control and other accessories to retrofit existing machinery. Univeral Tube can also offer complete turn-key systems from initial design to start-up. The average lead time for a reconditioned machine is 12 to 14 weeks. Customers are encouraged to bring their material to run through the machine at final inspection and are offered a ‘customer inspection and safety awareness’ program, for communication purposes so that any operational concerns can be written down by the customer and addressed accordingly by the Universal profes- sionals. Universal also offers one of the largest selections of used tube, pipe mills and rollforming machinery in stock that can be found anywhere in the world. Many of its in-stock lines have already been up- graded and are ready to put into production. It offer tube mills, rollformers, HF welders, straighten- ers, cut-offs and more. Customers can purchase machinery direct from the floor as is and the experienced team can clean, paint, rebuild, install & train staff making certain that the machine is running efficiently. Universal Tube belongs to the MDNA (Machinery Dealer’s National Association) so you can trust that the equipment is of the highest possible quality. It also offer a 30 day return privilege if some- thing happens and the machine would need to be repaired or returned.
