Abstract (en)

A method for producing finned tubes for heat exchangers starting from a cylindrical tube (l) which is cut along at least one helical cutting line by means of relative rotatory and linear traversing motions between the tube (l) and a cutting tool (3); a continuous shaving or rib is obtained which remains integral with the wall of the tube (l) and which is folded outwards to form a helical fin (ll) by means of the bending and folding action of the cutting tool (3) which is provided with a sliding surface (3c) for the rib, running tangentially to the fin (ll). The tube is suitably guided and supported close to the cutting area.
