Engineered to Overcome Automotive Tube Production Challenges
Automotive tube manufacturers face relentless demands: tighter specs, lighter materials, faster cycles. Our tube mill systems are engineered to solve the real problems that put production at risk:
Tight Dimensional Tolerances
The Challenge
Poor welds cause incomplete fusion, porosity or misalignment and lead to high scrap rates.
MTM Solution
Precision forming and sizing technology ensures dimensional consistency across every tube.
Forming High-Strength, Lightweight Materials
The Challenge
Advanced materials introduce springback and deformation risks.
MTM Solution
Specialized tooling and mill configurations reduce springback and maintain form integrity.
Minimizing Scrap with Expensive Materials
The Challenge
High-cost materials require extremely efficient processing to avoid waste.
MTM Solution
Optimized line performance and accurate cut-off systems minimize scrap and material loss.
Surface Integrity and Visual Finish
The Challenge
Automotive parts must maintain flawless exterior surfaces.
MTM Solution
Integrated roll lubrication and protected handling prevent scratches and marks during production.
Manufacturing Custom Tube Profiles
The Challenge
Custom shapes like oval or D-section tubes demand precision without slowing production.
