Tubing Guide Arch

The equipment component which provides support of the continuous-length tube and guides the tubing from the service reel through a bend radius (ranging from 45 to as much as 180 ) prior to entering the injector gripping mechanism. In general, the tubing guide arch incorporates a series of upper and lower rollers which center the tubing as it travels over the guide arch. The number, size, material, and spacing of the rollers varies significantly with different tubing guide arch designs.
