Peterseim Metallwerke, headquartered in Olpe, Germany, is known worldwide as a specialist in seamless drawn tubes made from aluminium and brass. The tubes, produced in the Olpe facilities, are the base material for a very broad range of different products, e.g. components for technical devices, fittings and the automotive industry.
For many years we have impressed our customers with the outstanding quality of the seamless drawn tubes we manufacture with special care and precision. The drawing of the tubes is the first step towards achieving high-quality products. From the tube drawing line, the tubes – mainly in standard dimensions of up to six metres in length – are transported for further processing and finishing, either at Peterseim or on the customer’s premises.
Until now our portfolio has focussed on brass and aluminium. However, the recent investment in a state-of-the-art tube bending machine made by Tracto-Technik allows us to process almost all materials. Many companies from different industries are already benefitting from our enhanced service and have placed orders with us for contract bending of tubes made from steel or stainless steel.
This new machine is capable of processing tubes with a max. outer diameter of 60 mm and has a free-standing bending head to give maximum flexibility. The extremely rugged design and the strong bending drive unit mean that the machine is capable of bending both thick-walled and thin-walled tubes.
Thanks to our close relationships with companies in the automotive, aircraft, maritime and furniture industries, as well as in machine and plant engineering, we have built up a broad knowledge of markets and products and are able to offer our customers perfect solutions to meet their needs.
Peterseim has now invested some 18,000 Euro in a 3D articulated measuring arm made by TRACTO-TECHNIK. Using the handy “Tuboscan M”, the geometric data of sample tubes can be quickly and easily determined. Furthermore, it is possible to use the articulated measuring arm as a 6D mouse in order to define new tube courses with a predefined volume, all this while continuously acquiring online data in the background.
