has the technological equipment for production and testing of steel tubes used in power generating plants.

with a four-chuck system that prevents vibration and ensures accurate cutting. An auto-centring clamp enables fast set- up, with no change in set-up from square to circular or triangular tube. The 3D Fabri Gear offers a ‘done-in- one’ solution with a tapping unit that can help generate significant reductions in process time by tapping in the same machine set-up as laser cutting. The 3D Fabri Gear is suitable for cutting long and heavy tube used in the construction industry, such as building structures, heating and ventilation systems, along with machinery applications including cranes and agricultural machinery. It has been used in a number of prestigious construction projects, including the Yas Marina Formula One circuit in Abu Dhabi, the national football stadium in Gdansk, Poland, and the Tokyo Sky Tree, which is the world’s tallest broadcast tower. Yee Young Industrial Co, a manufacturer of hydraulic cylinder rods and cylinder tubes, is equipped with cold drawing ability and peeling machinery to achieve surface and physical properties. Raw materials from Western Europe and other developed countries are employed for high-quality products. The company’s quality and service have been approved not only by domestic users and government, but also supported by the global market within over 20 countries. Its main products are seamless steel cylinder tubes and hard chrome plated rods suitable for mining and earthmoving machinery, handling equipment and lifting systems, vehicle engineering machinery and other automatic equipment. Yee Young offers customisation of special hydraulic cylinders for its customers, and presents end-users with multiple options. The company’s overall vision for the future is to create ‘one stop for all’, and integrate the upstream supply chain to provide both quality and convenient, flexible, efficient service. mazakitalia@mazak.it www.mazak.eu Yee Young Industrial Co Ltd Taiwan 5H20-01

Zeleziarne Podbrezová produces a wide range of steel tubes. Tubes for power generating facilities (boiler tubes) are from the set standards point of view classified into a group of tubes for pressure usage at higher temperatures. Production and testing of these tubes goes through a very high screening process. For the European Standards this requires a three level structure. The appropriate Directive for pressure equipment is at the level of being a law. Closely connected to this is a set of standards for construction of appropriate power generating facilities, and they in turn determine the standards for individual construction materials (tubes, sheets, etc). Producers or suppliers of tubes must have proper certification for the system and production.

Zumbach Electronic AG Switzerland

Zumbach will be exhibiting its solutions for in-line measurement and control of tubes, pipes and profiles. Steelmaster SMR gauges for high- speed dimension measurement feature a new system for fully contactless power and signal transmission from the laser heads. They offer claimed advantages over other gauges in fast and accurate capture of dimensions in longitudinal and radial direction. The maintenance for SMR gauges is close to zero. The mechanical concept is simple and robust: no wear on parts, no collector rings and no brakes. Depending on the application and the customer requirements, static Steelmaster SMS or oscillating SMO are also available. In addition to the existing line of profile gauges for cold steel and metal profiles, Zumbach will exhibit a new version of Profilemaster for hot applications. The gauges are based on triangulation by camera vision, also referred to as the ‘light cut principle’. Models are available for any hot rolled profile up to 500mm (edge length) and with up to eight measuring points (measuring units). All models are also available for cold applications. Also on show will be one of the new upgraded Ecogauge systems of single axis diameter/width gauges. With two new models, the range of applications has been extended to a diameter of 500mm (20"). Typical solutions are between rolling stands for bar or for strips or in conveyors, after hot extrusions, after radial forges or in peeling and grinding operations. Mounting is flexible and possible in horizontal, vertical or any orientation required.

Application of tubes from Zeleziarne Podbrezová

It is important to recognise the type of steel, dimensions and means of testing. The type of steel (carbon, low, middle or high alloyed) depends on the temperature level and the pressure level at which the given part of the power generating equipment is working. Individual steels and all other technical conditions for tubes form the content of appropriate standards. Standards are usually divided according to the way they are produced into seamless tube standards and welded tube standards. Zeleziarne Podbrezová produces pressure seamless steel tubes according to EN 10216 standards, and also welded steel tubes according to EN 10217 standards (except steel tubes made of rust resistant steels) and their corresponding standards and directives.

The company owns all necessary system and production certificates, and
