TUBE ROLLING MACHINE

SYNOPSIS
In tube rolling industry a wide range of power and hand operated machines
are used. As the industry is a large and growing industry different type of machines are
used for different operations.
Our project the tube rolling machine is very simple in operation by using spur gear
arrangement which is coupled with motor. This machine produces round tube of different
diameters and length. This machine can be used in various fields.
This machine consist of two spur gear which is coupled with a motor and
connecting the spur gear shaft with rolling main shaft. This machine is simple in
construction and working principle.

INTRODUCTION
Tube rolling industry is a large and growing industry. There are many special
purposes machines used in this industry to-day. The proper selection of the machines
depends upon the type of the work under-taken by the particular industry.
There are many examples of tube, which can be seen in our every day lives. The
metals generally used for tube rolling work include iron, copper, tin, aluminium, stainless
and brass. Our project the TUBE ROLLING MACHINE finds huge application in all
tube rolling industry. Rolling is the process of bending metal wire to a curved form. The
article in the shape of round is made by tube roller shaft. Rolling operation can be done
on hand or power operated rolling machines.

In forming round tube shapes a gradual curve is to be put in the metal rather than
sharp bends. The gap between the tubes can be regulated by proper arrangement.
The lock nut is used to fixing the tube wire to the rolling shaft. The single phase
induction motor is coupled with the spur gear arrangement by pulleys. The motor is
rotated by switch on the power supply of single phase. The spur gear is rotated due to the
rotation of motor. The spur gear is coupled with the main shaft by bearing.

WORKING PRINCIPLE
The single phase supply is given to the induction motor, it will run. The
motor pulley is coupled to the spur gear pulley with the help of belt. The spur gear
arrangement is run according to the speed of the motor.
Before switch on the induction motor, the tube wire is locked to the lock nut in the
tube rolling shaft. The tube rolling shaft is rotated when the single phase induction motor
switched ON. The tube wire is rolling in the rolling shaft due to the rotation of the tube
rolling shaft. The length of the rolling tube is decided by the operator. The required length
of the tube is rolled; the single phase induction motor is switched OFF.
The tube is cut by the cutter, the next above procedure continue once again for the
next tube operation.

ADVANTAGES
Easy in Construction and Working Principle
Man power requirement is less
High production
Length of the tube is varied

Production cost is reduced


Low Cost
Maintenance cost is very low.
Unit is compact so less space is required
Time consumption is less
Less effort & productive
Easy to install at any were
Skilled workers are not required
Convenient for mass production
Less in weight

APPLICATIONS
Small Scale industries such as tube rolling, other rolling etc.
Wire rolling industries
All tube rolling industries

DISADVANTAGES
This machine is applicable for particular diameter of the tube
This machine is used to produce soft tube wire only
