Industrial Turk Head

About Industrial Turk Head

The Turk Head Section also called Turk Head Unit or TurkHead Stand is a sizing and straightening assembly located after the weldingand cooling section of a tube mill. Its main purpose is to shape the welded tubeto the precise outer diameter OD ensure perfect roundness and removeovality or deformation caused during the forming and welding process.

Functions of the Turk Head Section

    Straightening: Corrects any bend or ovality thatoccurs during earlier stages of forming and welding.

    Surface Finish Improvement: Provides a smoothersurface on the outer wall by rolling the tube through precision-ground rolls.

Working Principle

1. The welded tube enters the Turk Head section aftercooling.
2. The four rolls (top, bottom, left, right) simultaneously compress and shapethe tube.
3. The rolls rotate freely or may be driven, depending on design.
4. Fine adjustments are made to maintain the desired OD and straightness.
5. The result is a perfectly round, accurately sized, and straight tube.

Roll Types Used

     Tungsten Carbide Rolls for stainless steel or high wear applications

      Number of Rolls: 4 standard or sometimes 6 for high precision

       Hardness of Rolls: 58 64 HRC

     Drive: Manual / Mechanical / Servo / Hydraulic

Applications

     Stainless Steel Tubes

   Automotive and Precision Tubes
