Each new requirement is seen as an opportunity for new developments. What makes a critical difference is the company’s workforce. Their profound knowledge and skill strengthens and supports the company and maximises the success of their customers’ projects. The innovative custom tools produced by Ernst Blissenbach, designed for the removal of the inside welding flash from HF longitudinal weld tubes, can effectively increase production output while demonstrating a high level of technical know-how. Ernst Blissenbach GmbH will be happy to answer questions at Tube 2010, where you can see the company’s latest product that is setting new benchmarks and revolutionising

Conros Steels Pvt Ltd India CONROS Steels, established in 2005, manufactures black and galvanised ERW steel pipes and tubes, and hollow sections from ½″ to 4″. The company is expanding its capacity by introducing new state-of-art equipment, being imported from USA and Europe, for manufacturing larger diameter pipes and API line pipes from 2½″ to 8″ diameter, and square and rectangular hollow structural sections. According to Shehzad Hemani, chairman and managing director of the Conros Group, “Each Conros product goes through stringent quality control checks at all stages of production. The Conros quality control department inspects all incoming materials, bought out components and the process quality conforming to IS, BS, DIN and other standards.” All pipes and tubes manufactured by Conros are individually inspected for finish and uniformity, then weighed and tested to ensure consistency of zinc coating. All material is shipped in sealed containers for protection from the elements, and ease of processing upon receipt. Hall 2 Stand A33 DHATEC, a first-time exhibitor at Tube Düsseldorf, will demonstrate solutions to control logistic operations in the supply chain of line pipes, from factory to construction site. All pipe movements within a factory environment, as well as outside in the field, are included in the company’s Task Environment. Exhibits at the stand will include the latest product developments, such as the Pipe Stop. This new, highly durable pipe storage system improves safety, provides adjustability and reduces material stress in pipes. The Pipe Stop has a high stacking capacity that is backed up by calculations and practical testing. Dhatec develops and manufactures products that take care of line pipe quality during manufacturing, coating, handling, transport and storage. Its product programme aims to maintain pipe quality, and also to improve the efficiency and safety of each process. In addition, the company assists project managers to organise the Email: info@conros-group.com Website: www.conros-group.com Dhatec Netherlands Hall 4 Stand F26

ARLA Maschinentechnik GmbH Germany Hall 6 Stand C31 ARLA Maschinentechnik GmbH builds CNC controlled endworking machines which are available for single sided and double sided machining. The machine concept is based on a solid frame with one or two precise machining units including a unique concentric workholding technology. The machine works like two separate CNC lathes operating independently for every side. The principal difference is that this endworking concept comprises a fixed workpiece and revolving tools. All machining units are directly driven by servomotors and are therefore stiff, powerful, and designed for high torques. In order to realise several machining steps, the units are built with integrated motor spindles, optionally available with tool changing systems. Typical applications are turning, facing, planing, tapping, threading, grooving, chamfering, boring, drilling and milling. The new ARLA spindle units can be used either with HSK interface or with integrated facing heads. The machining of complex contours with a single tool system is realised by facing heads which are implemented in ARLA’s DUX machining units. The clamping systems, which are used in ARLA’s endworking machinery, are available as independent units either pneumatically or hydraulically actuated. According to the model size the max. outer diameter is between 5 and 410mm (maximum pipe size ¼″–16″). Due to the mechanically synchronous fast and concentric clamping technology a high clamping force is achieved
