Torque Head for Pipe Straightening and Ovality Reduction

Mechanical engineering

In todays world of competition it is mandatory to produce accurate and precise product to enhance its performance. The automotive industries are running faster due to competition in the world of production and automation. Hence, each and every part of vehicle is to be manufactured with accuracy in given time. Silencer is an important part of exhaust system of vehicle; therefore its every component should be manufactured with accuracy. The straightness of pipe used for bike silencer is a key feature for improving structural integrity and enhance emission performance and acoustic performance. The torque head is twist removing and straightening mechanisum.The conventional straightening machine has 3-4 sets of roller and bulky in size which is not convenient for mounting of straightening machine. Similarly for particular diameter of pipe to be manufactured, a separate straightening machine is required. The torque head overcomes the above mentioned problems in which it makes the machine portable and reduces the wastage of time during installing, hence improves the productivity. Also the project can be installed in manually operated as well as automated lines. The full length contact of rollers with work piece straightens it as well as gives better surface finish. And the results shows that torque is able to reduce the ovality of pipe up to 2 to 3%.
