How to Choose the Right ERW Square Tube Forming Machine?

I. Define Your Production Requirements

1. Tube Size Range

  • Outer dimensions: Common sizes from 20x20mm to 120x120mm; larger lines available (e.g. 200x200mm).

  • Wall thickness: From 0.8mm to 6.0mm, depending on application and material.

  • Length: Standard 6m, custom options like 8m or 12m available.

2. Production Speed / Capacity

  • Typical speed range: 20–120 m/min

  • High-speed lines require matching flying cutoff and automatic stackers

3. Material Type

  • Compatible with low carbon steel (Q235, Q345), galvanized steel, stainless steel

  • Coil width and thickness must match desired output tube dimensions.

II. Equipment Configuration & Selection Tips

Component

Function

Selection Advice

Uncoiler

Unwinds steel coils

Hydraulic double-head type recommended (10–15 tons)

Leveling / Feeding Unit

Straightens material

Ensures accurate forming, avoids edge waves

Forming & Welding Mill

Tube forming with HF welding

HF welder must match max wall thickness (e.g., 200KW/300KW)

Sizing / Shaping Unit

Defines square/rectangular profile

Crucial for dimensional precision

Flying Saw / Cutoff

Precision cutting to length

Non-contact flying saws are faster & cleaner

Run-out Table / Stacker

Receives and stacks finished tubes

Pneumatic or servo-controlled options available

III. Automation Options (Optional Upgrades)

  • Servo-controlled mold change for faster size conversion

  • Online welding seam detector for quality assurance

  • In-line laser OD & thickness measurement

  • PLC + Touchscreen + Remote monitoring system

IV. Suitable Application Industries

  • Structural steel tubing for construction

  • Furniture frame tubing

  • Display racks, mechanical enclosures

  • Solar mounting structures

  • Automotive chassis & components

V. Key Purchasing Considerations

  1. Material Compatibility (especially for galvanized or high-strength steel)

  2. Ease of mold change & size switching

  3. Weld quality control – critical for export-quality tubes

  4. Spare parts availability and after-sales service

  5. Trial runs or demo video confirmation recommended
