Rory McBride – Editor

By now I am sure most readers have their stands booked for 2014’s spectacular Tube Düsseldorf exhibition and are busy finalising travel preparations. After going to all of that effort my advice would be to make sure that you make the most of your investment at the show by backing it up with coverage in the magazine. It makes sense to let people know what new products you will be exhibiting and, just as importantly, where your stand will be located. This is a huge show and people often do not have time to see every hall, never mind every exhibitor, so getting your name seen is vital. Many purchasers that I speak to tell me they plan who they will visit before they actually arrive at the show. So, by featuring in the pages of TPT (which is an official media partner of organisers Messe Düsseldorf) you can maximise your exposure at the show and attract the attention of our readers. Send your editorial for the March Düsseldorf issue by the deadline of 8 January. You can contact me at rory@intras.co.uk. Happy New Year to all of our readers and your families.

LINSINGER Multi-cut is for inline-operation in ERW lines as a flying tube- cut off aggregate requiring highest possible availability. It utilises four cutters working simultaneously around the pipe for a surprisingly fast cut. If one of the four has an early lifetime end, it goes into a park position. The remaining three tool heads cut tubes continuing until the scheduled tool change. Thereafter there is a decrease of the tube line speed or an increase of the cutting speed. LINSINGER machines are engineered and manufactured in Austria. LINSINGER offers an extended product range for the tube and pipe industry. It covers mainly circular sawing machines for cutting of steel billets and tube layers, milling machines for edge preparation for wind tower construction and shipbuilding and pipe bevelling machines for bevelling of tube ends.
