Requirements and Specifications

General Requirements

1. Machine should be precise, being able to produce straight tubes for an eight hour workday.

2. Machine should be able to be operated in safety by user, with resistance to breaking or failure.

3. Machine should be able to, specifically, withstand significant amounts of heat, in the range of 200 °C to 300° C, to deform heated aluminum.

4. The manufacturing process should take no more time or resources than minimally required.

Specifications

1. Specified dimensions should be:

   1. Billet Diameter: 7"

   2. Billet Length: 24"

   3. Container inner diameter : 180mm

   4. Force: 1700 tons

2. Machine will be made out of heat resistant material that can handle variations in temperature.

   1. Material also withstands fatigue concerns that arise at temperatures within the range of 200 °C to 300° C.

3. The machine should be able to produce seamless tubes via mandrel extrusion, with a target of continuous manufacturing throughout the eight hour workday, that are within an approximate tolerance of 0.2''.

4. Machine should be able to produce straight seamless tubes with minimal material waste.
