Flexible concepts for electric resistant welding lines
The market is on the move! And even though this phrase might apply everywhere and at any time, it is especially true for the tube market. Orders for small batch sizes and more versatile designs are increasing. This is reflected in our plant concepts – where a high degree of flexibility is the key to success. Modern plant concepts for ERW tube welding are devised such that customers are able to produce various product sizes and formats. These concepts reduce changeover times to a minimum and ensure reproducible quality and a high level of operational safety and reliability.

Rolling and squeezing stand
URD® design stand
The URD® (Uniform Rigid Design) principle is the SMS solution for fin-pass, squeeze, and sizing stands. The stands are characterized by their rigidity and stability with a direct impact on the product quality. Thanks to the special stand design using closed frames, the rolling forces are absorbed both vertically and horizontally; meaning, the roll setting positions do not need to be readjusted.
