Both vertical and lateral pipe support stands are supplied. The combination of the bi-directional support provides excellent stability of the finished tube throughout the diameter range of the mill. The support stands include yoke rolls mounted on sealed bearings with screw adjustment to satisfy the minimum and maximum diameter range of the spiral machine. A hydraulic kick-off arm removes pipe to customer supplied cross rails.
Hourglass roll stands are positioned after the cut-off. Rolls are raised into contact with the cut-off tube, discharging the pipe at a more rapid rate than the mill strip speed thereby moving the pipe away from the cut-off torch and exiting along the run-out table. The acceleration time is controlled from the main control desk.
