Serving a larger capacity
A fully automatic Bronx straightener from Fives for high-yield seamless tubes was delivered to a customer in the United Arab Emirates preparing to scale up production at their newly established tube mill.
Designed to serve the oil and gas sector, the machine handles stainless steel tubes ranging from 3.5” (88.9 mm) to 11.2” (285 mm) in diameter to process thick walls up to 1.5” (38 mm).
This high-capacity machine replaces manual straightening methods, offering significant improvements in operator safety, production efficiency, and accuracy, which are critical to uphold strict product requirements.
Production transformation
In a separate project, Fives also commissioned a Bronx section straightener for a customer in the shipbuilding industry in Canada.
This installation is the company’s first-ever straightening machine, marking a major milestone for efficiency and accuracy.
Designed to process bulb flats and flat sections ranging from 2.4” (60 mm) to 8.7” (220 mm), the fully automatic system has transformed their production line. Since commissioning, the machine has delivered a new level of quality, consistency, and reliability.
Always in motion with enhanced straightening solutions
Whether it’s large-diameter tubing or precision-shaped sections, Bronx straightening solutions from Fives are engineered to adapt to any material composition and dimensional requirements while delivering exceptional straightness, surface finishing, and process control across every application worldwide.
