Langbow reveals ATM-19 for small-to- medium tube manufacture process

Products for sewer systems and industrial applications

KERAMO Steinzeug specialises in the production and development of vitrified clay pipes and fittings. Three production units in Hasselt (Belgium), Cologne and Bad Schmiedeberg (Germany) manufacture high- quality sewerage products for sewer systems and for industrial applications. The company offers a range of pipes and fittings in diameters from DN 100mm to 1,400mm. In addition to traditional pipes and fittings with spigot and socket joints, micro tunnelling pipes, inliner pipes, drainage pipes, inspection manholes and cladding sheets are all part of the product range. Vitrified clay is a material that is created by firing high quality clay in controlled circumstances at a temperature of around 1,200°C. In contrast to many other materials used in the sewerage industry, vitrified clay is chemically and mechanically resistant and ensures a long lifespan. The company sells its products all over the world, particularly in Europe, the Middle East, the Far East and Oceania.

LANGBOW UK, has unveiled the latest development from Soco for small-to- medium precision tube and wire component manufacture. The ATM-19 is a comprehensive CNC tube and wire production cell and can undertake uncoiling, straightening, end forming, bending and cutting from coil to finished component. The company will be targeting the automotive, air conditioning, refrigeration systems, heating systems and hydraulic equipment industries. Materials including copper, aluminium and stainless steel can be processed on this complete process machine. The production cell can work from 4mm tube and wire up to tubes of 19mm OD in copper and 8mm OD in wire. It is equipped with Soco’s DGT Technology (direct gear transmission) the worldwide-

patented bending system offering high accuracy and repeatability of bend angle. Included is the built in Soco proprietary software and operator interface, which features an industrial PC and touch screen. Bending interference and anti-collision software are also included in the package. This production cell has been designed for small-to-medium diameter tubes and offers the total solution in one package, which otherwise would take several separate processes with the associated manpower required, downtime between processes, longer lead times and additional floorspace.
