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. fi A new feature of Copra ® is the possibility to design and model any type of rolling cage using the software – often referred to as the straight edge forming method. Using this new feature, the respective rolls are not just modelled but also transferred to Copra’s finite element package and simulated respectively

including eastern and western Europe, Asia, America and the CIS.

Copra ® RF, for example, now supports the automatic design and analysis of 4-roll fin passes and 5-roll welding passes and avoids users’ manual interaction in these specific cases. It also allows for the design of cage forming/linear forming tooling. In the production of extremely thin walled welded tubes the coil is often drawn to shape rather than rollformed. 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 the prediction and optimisation the final tube’s properties.

Œ

The range includes hot-formed seamless carbon steel pipes, seamless steel pipes for oil refinery, electrically-welded steel pipes, water and gas steel pipes, cold-formed seamless carbon steel pipes, precision steel pipes, and seamless steel pipes for boiler equipment and conduits. With modern technology and equipment, the company is able to ensure quality products due to the use of testing systems corresponding to GOST as well as other international standards such as DIN.
