Equipment to Perforate Tubing
Equipment to Perforate Tubing
(OP)
We're looking for a production machine that can perforate welded tubing. The application is similar to that used by the automotive muffler industry to put slits or holes in sections of exhaust tubes. Any recommendations for equipment models and manufacturers?
1) The perforations may be holes or slits
2) The welded tubing is from 1 inch to 1.375 inch diameter with wall thickness between 1.6 mm to 2 mm.
