Fives at Tube & Pipe Show Vietnam

Tube & Pipe Show Vietnam 2026 takes place from November 25 to 27, 2026, at the Vietnam Exposition Center in Hanoi, presenting manufacturing, processing, and automation solutions across industrial piping sectors. During the exhibition, Fives showcases engineered turnkey solutions, featuring OTO tube mills and inline finishing lines designed for high-tolerance tube and pipe production.

Core Technology and System Architecture
The manufacturing line integrates high-speed roll-forming stations, automated welding units, and inline finishing machinery into a continuous mechanical sequence. OTO tube mills utilize multi-stage roll-pass geometry to cold-form coiled strip metal into precise cylindrical or hollow structural profiles, followed by continuous induction welding. Inline finishing systems incorporate flying cut-off units, facing, chamfering, and automated handling mechanisms that maintain profile stability and surface integrity across continuous production runs.

Deployment or Implementation
The tube mill installations deploy as fully synchronized, turnkey production cells within new manufacturing facilities or interface directly with existing mill bays. Turnkey integration links upstream decoiling and strip-joining equipment to downstream visual inspection, non-destructive testing, hydrostatic test stations, and automated bundle packaging. Engineering teams provide mechanical commissioning, process calibration, and control interface integration to align production lines with plant-level manufacturing execution systems.

Industry Applications
The equipment serves structural steel manufacturers, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning fabricators, and automotive tubing suppliers throughout Southeast Asia. Processing applications extend from thin-walled, small-diameter copper and aluminum refrigeration lines to heavy-gauge structural carbon and stainless steel sections. High-volume tube production requires continuous seam containment and tight wall-thickness control to eliminate joint defects under hydraulic pressure or mechanical loading.

Operational Impact and Performance Metrics
Automated forming and inline cutting cycles limit tool deflection and minimize strip scrap generation during continuous processing. Synchronizing inline finishing with tube mill output eliminates off-line secondary staging, cutting intermediate logistics costs and reducing plant floor storage footprints. Turnkey engineering architecture stabilizes line throughput across diverse alloy grades, allowing regional manufacturing plants to maintain dimensional repeatability and meet strict structural piping tolerances.
