control and facilitates their increasing use within networked systems. The software has also been further enhanced in terms of user friendliness. All screens can now be configured for each individual user so that only relevant data is displayed. For examplr, rolling mill operators may wish to display the results of contour measurements as circle or line diagrams. Quality assurance personnel may need more comprehensive information – possibly from various production steps – as well as statistics for evaluation purposes. Data from several RDMS systems can be easily interlinked. Thus it is possible to view the contours of tubes upstream and downstream of individual production steps on the same screen and instantly recognise the effect of a particular process step on the contour. Furthermore, data from different process steps can be compared easily. With the new screen design, LAP is moving away from pull-down menus towards touch screens that enable intuitive HMI configuration, giving special importance to ergonomics and user friendliness. LAP’s long products range is completed by another new development, the RDMS-40 for tube, bar and wire rod in diameters below 40mm rounds. It now offers solutions for all diameters up to 500mm. At Tube Russia, LAP will also showcase a wide range of systems for inline measurements of geometric dimensions at all production stages, from billet or slab casting through to the finished coil or sheet.

Visitors to the ITA stand will also find information about the ITA’s technical conferences such as Tube Ukraine International 2007 (www.tube-ukraine.com), titled ‘Modern Production Trends for Tubes & Pipes – Welded, Seamless & Non-Ferrous’ , which will be held in Dnepropetrovsk, 24-26 September 2007. Other events are scheduled in Nagoya (www.nagoya-tube.com), Japan in June and Bangkok in October 2007. ITA members will benefit from various facilities at Tube Russia 2007, including telephone and fax services, Internet and email point, meeting area and interpreter services.

LAP will present its redesigned RDMS software for contour measurements of long products. The new software responds to the growing trend of integrating RDMS systems deeper into the production processes – even as cross-plant configurations. Due to a compact design and the fact that they dispense with movable sensors, RDMS systems have become established as reliable technology for inline contour measurements of tube, bar and wire rod. They are currently an indispensable element in long product rolling, with over 100 systems having been installed in rolling mills worldwide. The new software supports the integration of contour measurements into process
