Pentamac introduces moving column CNC machining centre PENTAMAC, Italy, has integrated a new larger capacity machine into its workshop, which allows it to handle tubes with a length of up to 7,500mm. The new Moving-Column CNC Machining Centre XL series are also faster and more versatile for drilling, processing,

tapping and milling iron, steel and aluminium. The spindle power (ISO40) is 7.5/11Kw with higher torque and power compared to the standard for vertical centre machines.

Seamless hot or cold manufactured steel pipes ROHRWERK Maxhütte, Germany, has announced a number of new products that are to be made available globally. It specialises in produces seamless steel pipes, either hot-rolled or cold-manufactured, in a wide range of dimensions and quality grades and claims to offer high product and process quality as well as sustained cost- effectiveness through continuous investment in its workshops. The company supplies its products to mechanical engineering, steel construction, the construction/plumbing trade, the boiler and plant construction industry and the ball bearing industry. It offers threaded black and galvanised tubes, water boiler tubes, linepipes up to 4" OD, boiler tubes, quality grade I/III and ball bearing tubes and can deal with steel grades: St. 35.8, TTSt. 35, St. 37, St. 52; 15Mo3, 13CrMo44, 10CrMo910; 100Cr6; as well as other steel grades on request. Its manufacturing ranges include external diameter 21.3mm-139.7mm and wall thickness 2.3mm-13mm. Rohrwerk Maxhüette says quality testings take place before, during and after the production process and a multitude of examinations are carried out with stationary and mobile testing units in order to guarantee the quality of its products. Rohrwerk Maxhütte GmbH – Germany Fax : +49 9661 814 409 Rotary tables mean the machine can also work tubes and cylinders with “continuous” movement through the support of lead guides. They are equipped with disappearance protection and double cooling circuit air/ liquid that can be mixed to create the required level of lubrication. The machines are also equipped with Numeric Control VISEL VSC1020M, which Pentamac says make it easier and more intuitive to use with the help of interactive graphics and pre-edit fixed cycles (macros), which can be programmed with numerous working cycles for boring and milling. Programming can be completed using ISO and by receiving files directly from CAD-CAM. Pentamac – Italy Fax : +39 0331 878 196 Email : info@pentamac.it Website : www.pentamac.it
