A special feature – sorting management and reporting – provides reports that give defects location, type, and the number of good and bad parts. The reports also include different rates with a virtually unlimited number of parameter sets. Remote control is possible via the internet, enabling supervision and support from anywhere in the world. With this full range of instruments, it is possible to achieve the best solution to any task for flaw detection, material sorting, and hardness or surface treatment inspection. A complete range of accessories allows CMS to offer a solution corresponding to inspection needs in all situations.

This knowledge can help engineers reduce the amount of material necessary and

With over 25 years of experience, Elmaksan is the manufacturer of an extensive machinery range including pipe and profile lines, cut-to-length lines, slitting lines, multi blanking lines, trapeze lines, open profile lines, slitting knives and spacers. The company also offers coil process equipment, automatic packing machines, levellers, rotary shears, multiple cutting units and associated spare parts. Each of these lines can be modified to meet specific production needs of the users.

also reduce or eliminate annealing, thus reducing energy and material costs. Involving everyone in the production chain – the roll tooling engineer, tube mill operator, and the fabricator – is the key to making the greatest gains in efficiency. The company will present its new version of roll design and process simulation software, branded Copra ® RF and Copra ® FEA RF, which offers enhanced features for the design of roll tooling and the simulation/verification of the forming process. Copra ® RF, for example, now supports the automatic design and analysis of 4-roll fin passes and 5-roll welding passes and avoids user’s manual interaction in these specific cases. It also allows for the design of cage forming and linear forming tooling. In the production of extremely thin walled welded tubes the coil is often drawn to shape rather than roll formed. With the latest version of Copra ® RF, it is also possible to integrate the drawing dies within a roll forming tool set. This allows the analysis of the complete forming process and to predict and optimise the final tube’s properties. Website : www.datam.de
