±2µm; min OD 6mm and WT 0.4mm; and min flaw depth 5 per cent or 10 per cent WT. Due to its flexibility, RotoUTscan can be adapted to all customers’ configurations. Installed in a strong control bench it can be combined with eddy current systems allowing a full-body inspection of the tube. Probus supervision software collects data provided by NDT equipment, displays combined signals (UT/ET) and creates inspection reports that can be used as control evidence for quality services and customers. Data stored can be recalled for analysis and quality treatment. CMS’s instruments and systems include magnetising and demagnetising units, probes and accessories, and EC rotating head RotoETscan.

It currently has a staff of over 600 people with specialists in the field of manufacturing, metallurgy, engineering and management. The company’s product portfolio includes a wide range of knives and tools for the metal, paper, printing, packaging, plastic, wood, rubber and recycling industries. The company is headquartered in New Delhi, India, and has five manufacturing units covering an area of over 150,000ft 2 . The company has an ISO-certified heat treatment plant with over 25 furnaces, and an in-house cryogenic facility along with a CNC manufacturing setup. Atlas uses special custom software for the designing of rolls for both closed and open section profiles, and has over 27 years of experience in the manufacturing of rolls. The company is capable of manufacturing rolls for tube sizes ranging from 0.5" to 12". DB Engineering Pvt Ltd 5B20

Germany IN most cases today a tube is a semi- manufactured product, which has to undergo further processing until it becomes the final product. Tube manufacturing itself is only one part of a comprehensive process chain. The concept of multifunctional roll forming is based on an integration of down-stream processes into the tube mill. A tube manufacturer and its client can benefit from this development. A reduction of the number of processes in a process chain always means cost reduction. The capability to supply value-added tubes opens up new market opportunities for tube manufacturers. Multifunctional roll forming means to integrate additional processes like piercing, notching, embossing, fixing nuts or bolts and many other processes into tube mills. If such an integration was done in the past it was dedicated for one specific product only. Multifunctional roll forming is completely different. Because any of the above mentioned operations can be integrated highly flexibly at any position within the machine only by exchanging work modules. Such work modules have the same size as a Dreistern roll forming tool cassette. In the same way an operator is changing a roll forming tool cassette, he can now also change work modules. In order to achieve an even higher flexibility such work modules can also be exchanged between different tube mills or roll forming machines. For that reason they are equipped with separate control units with standard interfaces which can communicate with the main machine control. The advantage of such a solution is obvious. Multifunctional machines can be configured precisely and rapidly according to the actual requirements of a new product. The footprint of such a machine can be reduced by 30 per cent to 50 per cent compared to conventional technology. No redundant line component whatsoever is increasing the machine-hour rate. This was the objective of the Dreistern development: more flexibility, but less cost and less required space. At Tube 2014 in Düsseldorf, Dreistern offers the opportunity to study a tube mill equipped with multifunctional roll forming.

Tube Clean GmbH has developed several manufacturing processes for producing virgin foam based on special developed formulas. It offers five types of projectiles, varying in density, porosity and surface structure. The CE-System comes with a handheld launcher and a series of nozzles as well as manual operating and single projectile feeding, standard nozzles designed to fit hoses and tubes, JIC, BSP and metric fittings ranging from 2mm to 60mm. Customised sizes are available up to 250mm.
