Advances in tube sheet automated processing technology

Automated tube sheet processing technology is rapidly developing towards intelligence, integration, and high precision, with significant progress made particularly in welding, flanging, and multi-process integration.

Welding technology has upgraded from manual operation to digital control, achieving an arc length accuracy of ±0.2 mm through arc light sensors and PID control, significantly improving weld quality. Flanging technology utilizes intelligent equipment to achieve full-process automation, supporting rapid mold changes and new material processing, adapting to the production needs of small batches and multiple varieties. In terms of multi-process integration, automated equipment can complete continuous processing such as tube feeding, straightening, sawing, and chamfering, greatly improving efficiency and consistency.

In the future, with the further application of AI algorithms and sensor technologies, tube sheet processing will achieve more advanced adaptive control and green, energy-efficient production.
