Tube and Pipe Versatile Edgeform Design

Roll-Kraft Introduces Versatile Edgeform Design™
A New Roll Design To Reduce Your Tooling Cost, Produce More Tubing With Less Rolls.


Unlike other designs that form the strip edges only in the first breakdown pass, Versatile Edgeform Design forms the edges in every pass before entering the fin passes. This progressive edgeforming is accomplished by increasing the amount of strip that is formed by the edgeform radii of the rolls. This results in a rounder tube entering the fin passes. Your fin passes are now doing less forming and doing what they are designed to do, remove impurities and burrs from the strip edge for a more consistent and higher quality weld. The images below shows the progressive edgeform that can only be achieved with Versatile Edgeform Design.

Compare the following design benefits listed below to your existing design. If you would like additional information on how Versatile Edgeform Design from Roll-Kraft can give you a competitive edge, call 888-953-9400.
