designed specifically for this purpose, from inflatable bag systems and silicone disc systems, to water soluble pre- formed dams, weld purge monitors for constantly reading the depleting level of oxygen, and tungsten electrode grinders designed to give accurate points on tungsten electrodes for consistent stable welding arcs. The company also supplies portable pipe cutting and bevelling systems, plate bevelling machines, and heat exchanger manufacture and maintenance equip- ment. At Tube Düsseldorf, the company will conduct live demonstrations of its range of products, as well as having technical staff on hand to answer questions and discuss requirements. The Netherlands MEASURING tubes, whether bent or rectangular, in 2D or 3D is often a difficult job because of the different sizes, radii and angles. It also takes a lot of time to get accurate data. Prodim specialises in digital measuring devices. Throughout years of experience in this field, Prodim has developed expertise in measuring tubes efficiently, accurately and easily. Prodim TubeCheck is one of the latest developments in quality control of tubes. The software works with the Proliner measuring device. Adding the software to the Proliner, tubes can be easily digitised, and the digital drawing can immediately be checked on the screen of the Proliner.

Czech Republic FOLLOWING demand from existing customers, Omni-x has increased its mandrel bending tooling range to include end-forming tooling. Parent company Omni-x USA had already started producing end-forming tooling after a successful design and testing period. Omni-x CZ has followed suit, and after undergoing its own testing and design procedures is now fully up and running. With the new tooling added to the range, the company also decided to invest in extra personnel, machin- ery and the expansion of the premises in Brno, Czech Republic. Five new machines have been purchased: two Haas VF 2 vertical machining centres, a Doosan Lynx 220 turning centre, a Doosan Puma 2600 turning centre and a Mitsubishi BA24 wire cut EDM. To house these new machines, and also to provide extra space for continued growth, the production area has been expanded from 1,100m 2 to 2,100m 2 , and a new 600m 2 warehouse has been added. There are also plans in place to purchase more machines in 2014, which will lead to further job creation for the local area. As both the aerospace and the automotive industries continue to show signs of growth, the demands for new and more complex tooling are increasing. With its team of designers, engineers and highly skilled CNC and milling machine operators, Omni-x states that it is prepared for any tooling project.

UK PIPE Ltd will be at Tube Düsseldorf showcasing its range of pipe-working equipment and tools for the set up and efficient welding and fabrication of all kinds of pipework. The company manufactures an extensive range of welding alignment clamps that have been designed and developed around the problems faced by pipe fitters and welders. The range of pipe clamps manufactured and offered by PIPE Ltd covers welding of small bore pipes and fittings to aligning of large diameter pipes or vessels. The company’s range of weld fit-up solutions enables fast, accurate and repeatable results. In addition, PIPE Ltd manufactures a comprehensive range of pipe jack stands, designed to support and transport pipes of all sizes and weight, whether on-site or in the workshop. The pipe stands are weight load tested and certified, and are CE rated and marked. The stands provide a fast solution to all pipe handling applications. With the increase in use of exotic materials such as Duplex, Super Duplex and titanium across the pipework fabrication industry, the need for welds of high quality and purity has become increasingly important. To achieve this quality, oxygen must be removed from, and kept out of, the weld chamber while the root pass (initial weld run) is performed. To do this, the weld area must be sealed off and purged of the oxygen to prevent oxidation of the weld leading to discoloration, corrosion and an uneven weld bead. Reacting to this requirement, PIPE Ltd has developed a full range of systems
