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.
3. Reduced Material Waste Traditional cutting methods often produce a significant amount of scrap material. Flying cut off machines minimize waste by enabling more efficient cutting patterns and precise lengths, which helps manufacturers optimize their raw materials and reduce costs.
The scale at which China operates in the roll forming industry is impressive. With thousands of companies involved in the manufacturing process, China not only produces a vast amount of roll-formed products but also offers them at competitive prices. This large capacity allows companies to meet the demands of both domestic consumers and international markets.
