2. Material Capacity The thickness and type of metal a machine can handle dramatically affect its price. Machines that can process thicker, harder materials or specialized alloys usually have higher costs.
Additionally, computer numerical control (CNC) technology allows for finer adjustments to the straightening process. CNC machines can be programmed to handle a range of different tube sizes and materials, making them versatile solutions for manufacturers. This adaptability is especially beneficial in industries where customization is a norm.
2. Energy Efficiency With rising energy costs and environmental concerns, many manufacturers are producing energy-efficient machines. These models often utilize servo-driven mechanisms that consume less power while maintaining high performance.
2. Die This component shapes the molten plastic into the desired tube form. The die's design is critical, as it determines the tube's diameter and wall thickness. Precision die design is essential for achieving uniformity and consistency in production.
