Precision by the second: rotary table transfer machine for processing tube material

Wolf Maschinenbau AG is a specialist with 30 years of experience in the design and manufacture of rotary transfer machines. The ‘all-in-one’ machine TSM280 is characterised by high efficiency, performance and process reliability. One Wolf machine often replaces several automatic lathes. It carries out several work steps simultaneously and can therefore produce parts from coil and bar material as well as finish parts from press blanks precisely within seconds. The Wolf TSM 280 offers a wide range of options for processing tubes and tube lengths: the rotary table transfer machine enables the rapid and economical production of precision components from round or non-round tubular material in medium to large quantities. Pipes of Ø1mm to Ø13mm

The Wolf TSM 280 offers an array of options for processing tubes and tube lengths

from coil and bar of Ø4mm to Ø30mm (Ø45 TSM 280-45, only tube) from bars, as well as workpiece lengths from 1mm to 300mm can be machined. The Wolf TSM 280 can completely and precisely machine both ends of tubular

components. The modular construction contributes to rapid cycle times and an excellent price/performance ratio. In addition, a quick change of the clamping sets is guaranteed, which enables quick retooling. In combination with the Wolf bar feeder capacities of up to 50 pieces/minute are feasible. Besides a frontal machining (ie facing and chamfering), other operations such as longitudinal turning, undercutting, thread cutting, slotting, cross-drilling and as well non-cutting forming operations can be applied on 15 machine units. The Wolf bar feeder BF 4-30 are used for machining from bar material, available for bar lengths from 3/4.50/6m (special length available). A bar change is a maximum of 1 cycle. Exchange time (chip to chip) can be achieved in up to 1.3 seconds. The Wolf coil feeder and straightener can feed tubes up to Ø13mm. Six oper- ating units can be provided for match- ing each end of the part using either cutting or non-cutting processes. Turn- ing, threading and drilling units are sup- plements by recessing and undercutting heads with radial movement. Many specialised non-cutting units are available, including press units for forming, stamping or marking as well as for tube end expanding, flanging,

Eddy Current Test Instruments and Systems

ELOTEST PL600 – a new dimension in eddy current testing that leaves nothing to be desired. The device is the innovative, fully digital eddy current platform for the most diverse applications with unique performance and reliability. A flexible software and licensing system enables the adaptation as well as the subsequent expansion of the performance to the respective testing task.

Examples of applications are: Ý Crack and grinding burn inspection Ý Bar and pipe inspection with EC-rotor and circumferential coils

Ý Weld inspection on pipes with circum- ferential coils Ý Weld inspection on pipes with segment coils
