A study on Torque Head for Ovality Lessening and Pipe Unbending
Abstract
In todays world of competition it is required to produce accurate
and precise product to enhance its presentation. The automotive
industries are running faster due to opposition in the world of production
and automation. Hence, each and every portion of vehicle is to be
manufactured with accuracy in given time. Silencer is an important part
of exhaust system of vehicle; therefore, its every component should
be manufactured with accuracy. The unbending of pipe cast-off for
bike silencer is an important piece for refining structural reliability and
improve emission presentation and acoustic enactment. The torque
head is twist eliminating and straightening appliance. The conservative
straightening machine has 3-4 arrays of roller and bulky in size which is
not expedient for mounting of straightening machine. Correspondingly
for specific diameter of pipe to be artificial, a separate straightening
machine is obligatory. The torque head overwhelms the overhead
stated problems in which it kinds the machine portable and decreases
the wastage of time during installing, hence improves the productivity.
Also the project can be fitted in physically operated as well as automatic
lines. The full length contact of rollers with work piece straightens it
as well as gives better surface. And the consequences demonstrations
that torque is talented to decrease the ovality of pipe up to 2 to 3%.
