New chip-less cutting line for coiled tubes REIKA, a German machine-tool manu- facturer for tubular applications, has launched the new 218/318 Compact machine series.

The range is based on the chip-less cutting machine 215, of which more than 100 units have been delivered in recent years. The chip-less cutting head has been re-designed and placed into a new compact machine design with a chamfering and facing section and high- performance transport systems. The material inlet system has been adapted for coiled tubes – either steel or copper. The first batch of four machines is destined for a manufacturer of fitting systems. The coils can be individually loaded or staggered on a driven automatic turning table. The following guiding wheel between the turning table and the straightening section is air cushioned and the tension is infinitely adjustable. The straightening section can be equipped with a quick-change device for the different tube diameters,
