T echnology U pdate Linsinger brings out the best in tube layers

frictionless machine design without drive belts ensures very tight tolerances. The resulting cut quality can be sold to market without any further de-burring. All that right beside the cooling bed. Linsinger’s long lasting proven leadership has grown thanks to satisfied customers worldwide, who benefit from the many attractive additional features such as transport systems, length measuring stops, and additional clamping devices for layer formation. Finding the perfect match between sawing machine and tooling is the key to low production costs. Linsinger, with its unique in-house fully automatic tooling manufacturing facility, offers perfectly matched sawing machines and tooling from a single source. Linsinger also provides turnkey saw blade repair shops and operator training in close support for customers aiming for more competitive production costs. With all these benefits, Linsinger says it is cutting lengths ahead the others. Linsinger – Austria Fax: +43 7613 8840 38 Website: www.linsinger.com

LINSINGER tube layer sawing machines have been hailed as a success story in leading seamless tube mills for the rapid and clean-cut tube layers they produce. The extremely high output productivity provided by Linsinger sawing machines has been the ultimate deciding factor with the global market leaders. The company claims that customers get more efficient results for their investment in the ultra-robust Linsinger machines, which operate at high speed continuously and reliably under the harshest conditions. Working conditions in seamless tube mills are not known as particularly friendly environments for man and machine. These especially rough conditions can be found just after the cooling bed near the steel mill. Every minute and for 24 hours per day, the rolled tubes are transported onto the cooling bed for tube end processing. Tube layers are formed to cut several

tubes to length or to remove the drop ends. Linsinger’s tried and tested state- of-the-art sawing system for cutting of tube layers in 3-shift-operation provides the perfect answer. Using the latest vibration-free technology, Linsinger design specialists have once again set the benchmark with sensational cutting results. Crack-free and practically burr-free cutting of the highest quality is the result, with no hardening or thermal influence. The emission-free cutting process produces cutting chips that can be easily reprocessed. As a result of the enormous potential output volume, the savings generated by the exceptionally low cost per cut far outweigh the comparatively small investment within a short payback period. Tubes with material tensile strength up to 1,400N/mm² can be cut easily. The
