The ML product line has machines for a wide range of diameters, with models that can go up to Ø310mm, from diameters as small as Ø5mm. One of the reasons ML machines stand out is their operational flexibility on simpler models, but more complex versions have their own benefits. The more automated an ML is the more autonomously it will be able to work, which affords tremendous productive advantages. Different levels of automation are available to serve the needs of a great variety of applications, from small workshops to multi-shift productions where the machine needs to run around the clock.

and user-friendly mobile touchscreen control panel, where the main functions can be actuated, or predefined polishing parameters selected for repeated use. These parameters can be easily programmed and stored in the system. Doing so does not require any special technical or industry knowledge, which means that the machine can be operated by any user with only basic training on how to work with the software. A different kind of automatic loading and unloading system, the conveyor-type system, is also available. While requiring an operator to place the tubes one by one on the loading table, this system has the advantage of keeping the tubes completely separate from each other, both at the loading and at the unloading station, thereby preventing any type of scratch and ensuring a perfect finish.

After loading, the operator is free to perform other tasks which are often complementary to those of the machine because they contribute to the overall production process. This is the case with the NS Máquinas bundle-type loading and unloading system, where tubes are placed in batches on the loading table and then transported automatically through the finishing stations to come out ready on the other side, where rubber clamping rollers will bring them to an unloading station. The bundle-type system affords great savings both in terms of handling costs and processing time for up to twelve-meter tubes. The machine is also equipped with automatic loading and unloading systems, which can benefit from further automation with the use of a powerful
