CNC working centres and special machines for manufacture tube bundle heat exchangers
In this section, Maus Italia gives a comprehensive overview of its unique CNC working centres and special machines to clearly illustrate the innovative path that a modern heat exchanger manufacturer should take to solve the basic issues of productivity, quality and safety without delay. Both the idea and the patent originated in the 1980s when Mr. Franco Agostino began to think about the concept of completely automatic operation for the Tube expansion. Subsequently, his son, Mr. Stefano Agostino, a brilliant visionary, patented the centring and automatic self-learning system for the CNC working centres. The turning point came in year 2000 with the introduction of the MA-2500, characterised by its exclusive double working axis with a consequent doubling of productivity: orbital welding had become a fully integrated and reliable system.

Automatic tube rolling
The automated tube rolling cycle reaches levels of productivity and quality unrivalled by traditional systems.
Total control over both torque and tube dimension allows you to highlight and configure the steps of the process during expansion, optimising work times. A further advantage of this revolutionary technology is the considerable reduction in the wear of the tools.
Complete and detailed reporting and data storing in real time.
Automatic TIG orbital welding
The TIG orbital welding is the most proven and reliable technology for tube-tubesheet joints. In Maus Italia’s exclusive CNC working centre, this operation has been fully automated to ensure complete control over quality and geometry of the weld puddle.
The extremely good results make this technology unique among the range of products available on the market. Automated centring and positioning, welding fully CNC-controlled. Maus Italia has also integrated the AVC system in its CNC systems for the automated management of the electrode/piece distance, ensuring an ever more expert performance.
Automatic tube end facing
Our completely automatic system can be used for the removal of excess material as well as for welding preparation.
The automatic end-facing system compensates for deformation of the tubesheet, optimising the process in terms of both quality and production.
Automatic grooving
Our completely automated system can be used for making grooves inside the tubesheet holes. The automatic cycle, complete with program for management and control of the level of wear of the tool, is already programmed and only requires the inputting of speed and feed parameters.
