Wattage Based Torque Controllers
Tube expansion can best be done
by expanding tubes at a set torque value. Torque is but a
rotary force acting on the tubes. For a given drive the rpm being
constant, torque becomes proportional to the drive power.
Hence, if the drive power is
controlled for tube expansion the resulting action will be
consistent and each rolled tube will have been rolled to the exact
same value. The only way to achieve this is by using a wattage
based torque controller. If using a current based controller,
the only way to achieve a consistent roll is to have a stable supply
voltage. This something which is very rare. Most of
North America suffers from unstable voltage and a 15% plus or minus
from the stated supply voltage is normal. So, with the supply
having a possible 30% fluctuation the actual rolling performance can
vary by 30%.
With a wattage based rolling system the
roll is consistent because voltage fluctuations do not alter how
much wattage the driver is drawing from the system. As the
torque increases as the tubes are expanded the wattage increases to
the set value and all to tubes are rolled to perfection.
