Cutting, sawing & prof i l ing technology

NUMALLIANCE, a manufacturer of CNC cold forming equipment for wire, tube, flat-stock and spring, has announced the purchase of EMS (Electro Mécanique Saverne). EMS specialises in the design and production of machines for chip- less end forming, and rotary and blade cutting machines for tubes. With this new acquisition Numalliance extends its offering in tube processing for various industries. The solutions offered by Numalliance are used for automotive (seating frames, exhaust), point of purchase (supermarket carts, display shelves), furniture, agriculture applications and more. Numalliance was the result of a merger of three companies: Macsoft, Latour and Satime. The company’s strength is in its mechatronic expertise: the hybridisation of mechanics and the in-house development of its user- friendly software. In October 2013 Numalliance integrated Silfax, an expert in tube bending with a strong foothold in the aeronautics industry. HAVEN Manufacturing Corporation, in co-operation with Tru-Cut Saw Inc, has introducing a new cross-cut and shear blade coating that improves blade life when cutting austenitic stainless steels. The new nano-composite PVD coating that Tru-Cut Saw is using to increase the life of circular saw blades is now available for trial to Haven customers for their dual- blade shear blades. The new coating, called ViTA-Nano and developed by Tru- Cut’s ICO Surface Coatings Division, is a proprietary combination of titanium, aluminium, aluminium-titanium, chrome and silicon. Unlike multi-layer coatings in which each material is deposited consecutively, with ViTA-Nano all Shear blade coating for stainless steel tube

cathodes in the PVD chamber are turned on at once. This reportedly results in a more cohesive, harder coating.
