Kusakabe continues to provide innovative solutions KUSAKABE has successfully installed a precision sizing section to an API 5CT casing line at one of the leading API pipe manufacturers in Asia. This precision sizing section consists of one cassette- type sizing mill, a patented rotary sizing mill and three turks head stands, which are all designed and manufactured by Kusakabe. diameter consistency for the ideal feed material for the rotary sizing mill. Kusakabe’s speciality is the rotary sizing mill, which achieves roundness and reduced spring back at time of cutting – important for API 5CT casing applications. Three turks heads is the optimal number for pipe straightening. The first and third hold the pipe, and the second is used as the point of effect with vertical and horizontal movements that straighten the pipe. in automotive stabilisers and other automotive components due to its very high strength. Kusakabe’s research and development and extensive experience in designing and manufacturing tube mills for this application have made it a specialist in this field. The design of stabilisers is changing from bar to tube as automotive designers reduce the weight of cars and improve safety and fuel efficiency.

The Kusakabe four-roll type cassette is of a unique design. Each roll chock is supported by two face plates, and this design increases the rigidity of the cassette and reduces the strain in the structure. These design features result in improved diameter reduction and
