Professional welding tables STRONGHandTools is themanufacturer of BuildPro welding tables and Strong

This hardening process results in a deep, hard case that prolongs the life of the table surface, protects against stroke impact, and provides a more wear- and corrosion-resistant surface with a glossy black shine. The tables have a surface hardness of 750 HV (~60 HRC), and are available in System 16 and System 28 versions, with 16mm and 28mm boreholes respectively.

Hand Tools welding clamps, as well as being the North American distributor of German-made Siegmund high-precision welding tables. The company has introduced the new Siegmund Professional Extreme 750 welding tables, designed to be hard, durable and very flat. Constructed from premium through hardened steel, the Professional Extreme 750 welding tables are finished with a plasma nitride treatment, resulting in a double- hardened table that the company claims will last a lifetime.

New cutting ring system VOSS Fluid has developed a new patented cutting ring system. The VOSSRing M with VOSSRing pre- assembly stud provides leakage protection and effectively prevents installation errors on pipe connections in hydraulic systems, while reducing the required physical effort. Suitable for cuts on all steel and stainless steel pipes, the ring’s material, geometry and technical characteristics are designed for maximum pressure and dynamic load capacity up to 800 bar. Other benefits include prevention of flange damage and pipe slippage. Belt grinding of heavy bars and tubes GRIND Master offers a trolley type machine for belt grinding and finishing of large diameter and heavy bars and tubes. The machine has heavy-duty roller supports to take up the tube/ bar to be ground. It also provides the rotational drive to the job being ground. The floating belt grinding heads are specially designed to take care of bend and ovality in tubes. These heads are mounted on a long trolley, which is rigid in construction. The machine has very easy settings

to ensure quick changeover from one job size to another. Tubes from 6 to 300mm diameter can be ground. Grind Master – India Email: sales@grindmaster.co.in Website: www.grindmaster.co.in

functionality, the solution provides enough clearance to perform a finish cut on the ring during final installation. Leakage-proof and process-reliable repetitive installations are the result. At the same time, the VOSSRing pre- assembly stud simplifies the work of installers: the final installation travel is reduced from 90° to 30°, reducing the required clearance during installation and cutting the physical effort approximately in half. VOSS Fluid is a supplier of hydraulic connection technology. The company’s product portfolio includes pipe connections for stationary and mobile hydraulics, including cutting ring screw unions, tube and pipe forming systems and flanged connections.

The new cutting ring solution from Voss

Voss has also developed an installation solution that provides process reliability even with high staff turnover: the VOSSRing pre-assembly stud makes installation simple yet accurate. The tool blocks further travel with a dead stop as soon as the ring has travelled the ideal pre-assembly distance. The increase in force tells the installer that the end location of the pre-assembly has been reached, and unintended excess installation is therefore not possible. In addition to the dead stop
