After extrusion, the freshly formed copper pipes undergo an annealing process to relieve internal stresses and enhance ductility. Annealing ovens use controlled heating and cooling cycles, ensuring that the pipes are soft enough for bending and installation. Once annealed, the pipes proceed to the tubing stage, where they are cut to length and undergo quality inspections. Sophisticated laser cutting machines are often utilized for their accuracy and speed, minimizing waste and maximizing efficiency.
The scaffolding pipe straightening machine operates on a straightforward yet effective mechanism. Typically, the machine features a series of rollers and hydraulic presses that apply a uniform pressure on bent pipes. The operator feeds the bent pipe into the machine, which then automatically aligns and straightens it. Most machines are equipped with adjustable settings to accommodate various pipe sizes and materials.
