Tube and Pipe
Tooling
At Roll-Kraft, our legacy has long been established as
the industry leader in providing precision roll tooling to
Tube and Pipe producers around the
world.
Backed by our vast experience in engineering,
manufacturing, and technical support, Roll-Kraft combines
innovative solutions and high-quality workmanship with its
world-class facilities and dedicated staff – resulting in
maximum performance, reliability, and value for our
customers.
Quality begins with engineering. Our
Tube and Pipe Tooling
designers utilize custom-designed software that develops the
forming progression and tooling drawings. We have perfected
many designs and offer numerous options and roll
configurations to best suit your application.
We
utilize
Finite Element Analysis (FEA) software
for specialty or uncommon applications. This software
simulates the tooling design before manufacturing begins. We
can better predict specific problems associated with mill
configuration, material properties, and reshaping, as never
before.
Together with state-of-the-art manufacturing
facilities, quality materials, and a quality management
system (ISO 9001:2000 certified), we guarantee your tooling
will be designed and built to maximize performance.
Special Materials:
Soft Urethane – This material is
used when grip is needed and the product surface cannot be
crushed back flat. Perforated or louvered tubing are
examples of uses for this material.
Nylon – Nylon is
used when the surface condition of the final product is
crucial and no other material will suffice. Dead soft
aluminum and some stainless steel tube can be made
completely mark free with a nylon application.
AMPCO - AMPCO is used in areas where the absence of
marking is critical and more tooling wear is required. It is
commonly used in stainless steel applications, as well as
for weld rolls, due to its non-magnetic properties. It is
available in different grades and levels of hardness.
AMPCO
Bronze Weld Rolls
CPM
10V
and A11
– These materials can be used in many
applications, and they have a longer life than D2 steel.
They have worked very well in bead rolling and hammering
operations in stainless steel tube and pipe. This material
can last two to three times longer than D2 in certain areas
when forming carbon steels.
