For the online-acquisition of tube and hose profiles, the Laser 2000 Profil defines distinctive positions of a profile in the measuring field, from the functional equations of tangential laser diodes. This device is suitable for the measurement of round or oval profiles, even if the profiles are arranged in an inclined position. The design of the gauge head is downwards/ open, providing protection against dirt or water.

SMS Meer GmbH Germany Stand DD25

The product range of SMS Meer essentially consists of: manufacturing plants and automated finishing systems for seamless and welded steel tubes (diameters from 4-1,800mm), hydraulic presses such as open-die forging presses and powder presses, and casting and rolling plants for sections, wire rod and bar steel. This is in addition to casting and rolling plants for extrusion billets, strips, wire rod, anodes and tubes made from non- ferrous and precious metals, plants for the production and further processing of aluminium billets and slabs as well as plants for the recycling of aluminium.

The merger between SMS Schloemann- Siemag AG and the metallurgical plant division of Mannesmann Demag AG in 1999 to form SMS Demag AG created a world leader in the construction of plants for the steel, aluminium and copper industries. The merged companies provide a complete process chain extending from crude iron production right through steelmaking, continuous casting, rolling mill and tubemaking technologies, up to processing and finishing lines for hot and cold strip. Within the structure of SMS Demag AG, SMS Meer was established from the former ‘Tube and Copper Plants’ business unit of Mannesmann Demag Metallurgy.

Sofratest France Stand DD34

› Sikora’s Laser 2010 T, Laser 2025 T and Laser 2050 T triple-axis gauge heads

In 2001, the ‘Long Product Rolling Mills Division’ was integrated into SMS Meer.

Sofratest is specialised in the manufacture of NDT (non-destructive testing) equipment for longitudinal and spiral welded pipes.

Interfaces such as RS 485, Profibus DP, Canbus, ethernet or analogue interfaces are integrated in the gauge head, for use in extrusion lines that are controlled by a production line processor. All gauge heads of the Laser 2000 series have an RS 232-C interface for a PC or notebook connection. For extrusion lines without production line processors, Sikora produces processor controlled display and controlling systems, including Ecocontrol 1000/2000 and Remote 2000. The Ecocontrol 1000/2000 indicates, apart from the numerical and graphical presentation of the measured values, an automatic control of the diameter or wall thickness of the product. It collects precise statistics and trend values, saves data and records the measured values. The Remote 2000 is a processor-based system suitable for panel mounting or for installation on the gauge head support. Sikora also produces x-ray based measurement devices, for products with up to three layers. Diameter, wall thickness, eccentricity and ovality can be logged and recorded. The system quickly and precisely controls the expulsion of the extruders or the velocity of the production line.

As part of a reorganisation in 2003, SMS Meer became part of the ‘Tube, Long Product and Forging Technology’ business area of the SMS Group.

The company has pioneered developments in computer based solutions for NDT,
