two end-facing and chamfering heads and a tube aligning system. The machine allows processing of a continuous production at a maximum speed of 60m/min. The HT8 hydrostatic test machine can test two tubes simultaneously up to 168.3mm diameter at 250 bar. For larger diameters, it is possible to test only one tube at 250 bar, or two tubes simultaneously at lower pressure. The maximum test pressure must be set according to the characteristics of the tube to be tested and in accordance with the relevant regulations. The maximum weight of the transportable tube is 575kg.

head allows bending clockwise and counter-clockwise rotation on the same part and utilises unique tooling design and positioning to eliminate conventional interference issues, enabling bending of the most difficult, complex part shapes. Using a KUKA robot to manipulate tubes, the Tulip is flexible, with fast throughput, and does not require additional handling devices. AddisonMckee Hydra-Green end- forming machines combine the dependability of the FM range of ram forming, sizing, and tube trimming machines with the benefits of ‘green’ technology. The patent-pending Hydra- Green technology is designed so that the hydraulic pump is in operation only when there is a demand for pressure/ flow, and therefore provides for reduced heat emissions, hydraulic fluid usage, noise and power usage. AddisonMckee bend and end-form tooling: AddisonMckee understands the critical role quality tooling performs in every bending and end-forming process, and its knowledgeable design team provides tooling solutions to suit the full line of AddisonMckee and Eaton Leonard equipment, as well as equivalent models. The company also offers in-house tool try-out capabilities, prototype and part development for special applications, and tool stocking programmes. Eagle Muffler Tooling: Eagle originated the simple, drop-in tool design for quick changeover and setup. Experienced engineers combined with advanced manufacturing capabilities and high-grade steels ensure quality tooling with quick delivery and extended service life and reliability. The range of Eagle muffler tooling solutions includes tooling for lockseamers, SRSWs, ram and FLO style flangers, baffle stuffers, ridge-locking equipment, cap assembly and cap seaming machines. Tube fixture gauges: Eaton Leonard Tube Fixture has more than ten years’ design and manufacturing experience and has more than 3,000 gauges in the marketplace. Tube Fixture gauges are available in both stainless and aluminium, and are manufactured by a laser cutting technology that provides for no shape or size limitations. Advantages include customisation for any application, accuracy from 0.2mm, easy to use, easy to move, and easy to modify, and each comes standard with a complete documentation package.

Meccanica Adda Fer Srl

6D02

Italy ADDA Fer specialises in engineering and manufacturing of plants for production of electro welded tubes and coil processing equipment. The company concluded last year with positive outcome, due to gaining substantial contracts and the installation and start up of recently manufactured plants worldwide. For instance, Adda Fer accomplished an installation, for an important Middle East customer, of a line for cutting, handling, end-facing and hydro testing of pipes up to 8" in diameter, completely designed and manufactured by Adda Fer.

AddisonMckee

5B10 & 5F10 USA TUBE bending and end-forming technology specialists AddisonMckee and Eaton Leonard have merged, and will be exhibiting together at Tube Düsseldorf 2014. The combined companies offer customers a complete range of products and services adapted to their specific needs, a worldwide presence, and a team focused on innovative solutions. The companies will be showcasing the following innovations:

DB8 flying cut-off double blade shear

The DB8 flying cut-off double blade shear has controlled movement along the orthogonal axis for diameters up to 219.1mm. It is a result of a basic project evolution, with high basic performance. Its last configuration gives the advantages of flexibility, precision cutting and long blade service life. A double vice group both at inlet and outlet side arrange the blocking of the tube during the phase of cut in order to avoid dangerous vibrations. The small distance between the clamps and the blades of only 100mm helps to increase the use up to 7,000 cuts. The H8 handling system features a roll outlet table with single or double discharge for pipes from 6 to 13.5m long. All levers are shielded by soft material (polyurethane) in order to prevent tube contact surface scratching/abrasion during handling. All the rolls are driven in pairs. The EF8 end-facing and chamfering machine is composed of a transfer system between the different stations,

AddisonMckee eB80 ESRB bender

AddisonMckee eB80 ESRB bender with quick change tooling system – an all-electric bending machine, designed to bend complex tube shapes up to 82mm outside diameter. The eB80 ESRB will feature AddisonMckee’s patent-pending quick change tooling system that provides for ‘part to part’ tool changes with either single or multi- stack tooling to be accomplished by one person in less than ten minutes. Eaton Leonard’s Tulip bending cell integrates robotics with advanced tube bending technology. The Tulip bending
