Competence centres for the tube industry

latest findings of vibration technology, and create burr-free cuts suitable for end-users without the need for additional de-burring. The vortex milling process of the RTM pipe cutting machine works with many tool inserts orbiting around the pipe. The number of cutters depends on the diameter and wall thickness, resulting in manageable short chips and practically burr-free cuts. The machines are designed for heavy-duty three-shift operation, and are characterised by high material throughput. Linsinger supplies complete turnkey equipment concepts, with all necessary transport systems, and length measurement stops for head, foot and partial cuts, either single or in layers. Turnkey systems including integration and implementation in existing finishing lines are also provided. The Multi-Cut saw is equipped with up to four axis-controlled sawing stations working independently. Sawing of the tube starts simultaneously at several positions, and segments are finally cut along its circumference. Small, disposable saw blades with a high number of coated cutting teeth are used for lower saw blade loading and increased tool life. The result is small chips and negligible burr.

resulting know-how was the starting point for development of the Sawing Competence Center. Consequently, the company’s infrastructure was extended with new production facilities and the latest machine tooling. The target was to assemble and test all machines completely at Linsinger’s site. Engineering, production services, quality assurance and logistics management are all available at the company’s own manufacturing facility, and experienced Linsinger engineers are permanently on-call worldwide to work in partnership with global customers to ensure satisfaction and protect investments. Both the Linsinger KSA tube layer saw and the RTM pipe cutting machine have been developed taking into account the

LINSINGER places emphasis on in- house technology sourcing, and its established Competence Centers for sawing, milling and rail-milling provide significant contributions towards the company’s market growth. This concentration of engineering know-how is a foundation for ambitious projects in all regions of the world. Contrary to the general trend towards securing profitability by restructuring the workforce and relying on outsourcing, Linsinger has improved its productivity, quality and completion date reliability by focusing on the competence of its own in-house workforce. Linsinger’s purchase of Wagner Saws (formerly the world’s largest sawing machine manufacturer) and the

Another success for Eurolls EUROLLS states that increasing numbers of customers in the tube industry are applying its design experience to improve the quality of their products or to solve quality problems, and that its reputation as a ‘problem solving’ partner represents added value on being a recognised, reliable tooling supplier for the industry. with customers around the world for their new installations or implementation

of existing ones, for the supply of steel and tungsten carbide rolls, mainly based on Eurolls tooling design. Eurolls SpA has been selected by SMS Meer GmbH and its customer, Huta Labedy in Poland, as their partner for the supply of tooling for their new 12¾" mill according to SMS Meer GmbH roll design.

A number of important orders, including project and design, were secured by Eurolls during 2014. The company has consolidated relationships
