Machinery for finishing and straightening tubes

CARTACCI Srl has been designing and building machinery for the finishing process of tubes – in particular straightening machines and draw benches – for more than 45 years. Thanks to this experience in the manufacturing of single machines Cartacci Srl has increased its productive power and has supplied complete finishing lines for tubes. Some of the finishing lines recently produced include a pointing machine, draw benches (from 80 tons up to 300 tons), ten rolls straightening machines (from 20mm as diameter, up to 273mm), multi- heads cutting lines, chamfering machines, services for testing, bundling machine

including draining and weighing, strapping and protective coiler machines. All the machines included in the line are completely automated and so require a limited number of operators. In fact, two complete lines, composed as described before, have been delivered and started: one for the production of cylinders, with diameter up to 235mm and one other for the production of shock absorbers, with diameters up to 70mm. Cartacci’s lines present innovative solutions, directed to limit the use of handling and intermediate storage, and to guarantee high production and high surface finishing – both of which help to limit the need for the manual intervention

of operators. In addition Cartacci’s lines are produced following a careful study of what is required: each machine included in the line is studied in a way that it can work in line with the others, or also on its own, giving the customer the possibility to work in an extremely versatile way. For Cartacci Srl getting to manufacture complete finishing lines for tubes has represented the natural synthesis of the technical evolution that the company has followed during its history.
