The consultants
of Welded Tube Pros are specialist in welding, forming, We cover all phases of the entry process, coil handling, end welding, gauge control, leveling, roll tool analysis and strip width considerations, welding, scarf systems, cut-off, and exit systems. We also offer hands on training, operator manuals/videos, and comprehensive problem solving pertaining to production issues, including equipment alignments. Comprehensive Greenfield studies are also available for welded tube and rollforming operations. Consulting is
limited to production issues in tube/ pipe, cold rollformed section
formation, stamping, and the manufacturing equipment
generally employed in these processes. This means that we have nothing to do
with the sizing, selection of, or fabrication of welded tube, cold
rollformed sections, or stampings, into finished
goods. We do not deal with tube/pipe, cold rollformed section, or
stamping product end users. We do not deal with tube / pipe applications in
fluid or load carrying duties.
