FFX Technology of Welding Pipe machine

FFX Technology for tube mill lines represents a significant advancement in the machinery and automation used in tube production. This technology, known as Flexible Forming Technology, allows for the efficient and precise shaping of tubes from flat metal sheets. Unlike traditional methods that often require extensive manual adjustments and setup times for different tube sizes and shapes, FFX Technology enables a more streamlined and automated process.

This automation not only reduces production time but also minimizes human error, leading to a consistent and high-quality output. The integration of FFX Technology into tube mill lines offers numerous benefits.

ZTF(FFX) Flexible Forming Tube Mill

FFX, or Flexible Forming System, is a state of the art tube forming technology. Unlike traditional ERW systems, which require changing forming rolls to adjust the tube diameter or shape, FFX uses specially designed tooling that allows for quick mechanical adjustments. This means that the tube size and shape can be changed without stopping the production line and in the shortest time possible.

In essence, FFX is a fully modular and intelligent system that enables the production of round, square, and rectangular tubes using a single shared production line. This results in significant savings in time, space, costs, and manpower.

How FFX Technology Enhances Tube Mill :

Although the ERW Tube Mill system is still used in some production lines, the FFX system is a strategic and forward-thinking choice for factories aiming to increase productivity, reduce downtime, produce a variety of products, lower operational costs, and expand their export markets.

At Lotos Forming, we help our clients stay one step ahead in the industrial competition by designing and manufacturing FFX production lines based on the latest global technologies.
