Product Overview
COPRA® RF Tubes is the advanced and worldwide leading software package for tube mill roll design.
It includes features as...
- COPRA® RF CADFinder Project- and document-archive with revision control
- COPRA® RF Projects may be parametrical, classic or a wire project
- Integrated browser for easy navigation through the stations with station distance definition
- Automatic nomination of the station types
- Definition of the mechanical material properties
- Control of the COPRA® RF Software via toolbars and/or ribbons
- Calculation of static section characteristics
- Definition of COPRA® RF bending sequences for automatic tube unfolding
- 3D wire model for the calculation of the longitudinal strains (“simulation of the 2nd generation”)
- Definition of necessary machine parameters
- Definition of forming method setup (circular, 2-radius, W-forming, 4-radius, oval, others...)
- Forming strategy setup
- Setup of forming parameters
- Roll design setup
- Automatic flower design
- Automatic and parametric roll design
- Parametric modification functions for roll tools
- defining the number of arcs for the forming method..
- The flower setup can be done in a very flexible way. One section may consist of as much as 8 different arcs. For every individual arc angle, radius and arc length can be defined separately.
For the fin passes it is also possible to define the fin- width dependent on the tube diameter. - Material additions such as profiling-, sizing-, welding- and strip guide additions can be entered depending on the tube diameter and strip thickness.
- COPRA® RF also includes a software program for the calculation of the optimum down-hill forming curve. It has been shown that the widespread opinion that a constant gravity point was the optimum forming method is wrong.
- A special purpose optimization program (COPRA® RF DTM) provides the possibility to minimize material strain. With this option the optimum forming curves for the individual passes (including cage forming) can be determined.
- Verification of the design can be done with COPRA® RF FEA
