Due to the rising demand for the processing of straight and manipulated tube with a beaded end connection, STAUFF UK Ltd. has invested into another state-of-the-art production machine that was recently put into operation at the Sheffield (United Kingdom) site.
By cold forming, the machine is capable of producing tube ends with circumferential beads. The processing is carried out according to market standards or based on individual customer specifications. The beading machine provides a high degree of precision and speed.
Depending on the material and diameter, tubes with a diameter of up to 6 inches, i.e. more than 150 millimeters, can be processed.
Beading provides, among other things, a way to connect a hydraulic hose with a tube end.
