DESIGN OF FORMATION MECHANISM OF STEEL TUBE HEXAGONAL BUNDLING

Based on analysis of hexagonal stacking of seamless steel tubes, a simple mechanism for hexagonal bundling of steel tubes was designed. The actual operation shows that the said formation mechanism is of logical design and capable of easy operation.In addition, persentage of in-transportation bundle-off and bending of hexagonal bundles of steel tubes made with the said mechanism has been tremendously reduced.
