while the cutting process is constructed from two combined electrical axes, as with other milling-machines. The cold saw can be operated either by HSS or TCT blades, as in the whole range of MTM flying cut-off machines. There is no gap between the two blades, due to a reduced blade diameter. The Comby models allow high productivity and low running costs whenever burr-free cutting is necessary. The first Comby units are already operating with excellent results.

Nexans Deutschland GmbH is the manufacturer of a new universal welding machine, branded the Uniwema ® 650. This machine is capable of manufacturing corrugated stainless steel pipes up to an OD of 650mm and a wall thickness of 3mm. Prior to the development of this machine, the biggest Uniwema machine was limited to an OD of 400mm.

The new machine was designed as a solution to today’s onshore and offshore LNG (liquefied natural gas) transfer and terminal applications. The LNG industry requires vacuum-insulated, flexible, stainless steel pipes with an outer diameter of up to 16". Environmental and safety aspects currently play the most important role in the increasingly sensitive LNG market. The well-proven technology of the split clamp caterpillar capstan – in combination with the Uniwema corrugation technology – will be used for this world biggest continuous forming, welding and corrugating machine. Nexans is in the position to deliver any length of corrugated pipe systems up to an ID of 600mm. Depending on transportation restrictions, a typical length of one pipe section is from 55m up to 350m. The drive system of the split clamp caterpillar capstan comes in the form of a hydraulic system, while the electrically driven corrugation unit is synchronized to the capstan speed. Welding is performed through the company’s patented and ASME approved Polyarc process.  Nexans has developed a new universal welding machine for LNG applications
