Meccanica Adda Fer Srl
6D02
Italy
ADDA Fer specialises in engineering
and manufacturing of plants for
production of electro welded tubes and
coil processing equipment.
The company concluded last year
with positive outcome, due to gaining
substantial contracts and the installation
and start up of recently manufactured
plants worldwide. For instance, Adda
Fer accomplished an installation, for
an important Middle East customer, of
a line for cutting, handling, end-facing
and hydro testing of pipes up to 8" in
diameter, completely designed and
manufactured by Adda Fer.
DB8 flying cut-off double blade shear
The DB8 flying cut-off double blade
shear has controlled movement along
the orthogonal axis for diameters up
to 219.1mm. It is a result of a basic
project evolution, with high basic
performance. Its last configuration gives
the advantages of flexibility, precision
cutting and long blade service life.
A double vice group both at inlet and
outlet side arrange the blocking of the
tube during the phase of cut in order
to avoid dangerous vibrations. The
small distance between the clamps
and the blades of only 100mm helps to
increase the use up to 7,000 cuts. The
H8 handling system features a roll outlet
table with single or double discharge for
pipes from 6 to 13.5m long. All levers are
shielded by soft material (polyurethane)
in order to prevent tube contact surface
scratching/abrasion during handling. All
the rolls are driven in pairs.
The EF8 end-facing and chamfering
machine is composed of a transfer
system between the different stations,
two end-facing and chamfering heads
and a tube aligning system. The machine
allows processing of a continuous
production at a maximum speed of
60m/min.
The HT8 hydrostatic test machine
can test two tubes simultaneously up
to 168.3mm diameter at 250 bar. For
larger diameters, it is possible to test
only one tube at 250 bar, or two tubes
simultaneously at lower pressure. The
maximum test pressure must be set
according to the characteristics of the
tube to be tested and in accordance with
the relevant regulations. The maximum
weight of the transportable tube is
575kg.

TUBE bending and end-forming
technology specialists AddisonMckee
and Eaton Leonard have merged,
and will be exhibiting together at Tube
Düsseldorf 2014.
The combined companies offer
customers a complete range of products
and services adapted to their specific
needs, a worldwide presence, and a
team focused on innovative solutions.
The companies will be showcasing
the following innovations:
AddisonMckee eB80 ESRB bender
AddisonMckee eB80 ESRB bender
with quick change tooling system – an
all-electric bending machine, designed
to bend complex tube shapes up to
82mm outside diameter. The eB80
ESRB will feature AddisonMckee’s
patent-pending quick change tooling
system that provides for ‘part to part’
tool changes with either single or multi-
stack tooling to be accomplished by one
person in less than ten minutes.
Eaton Leonard’s Tulip bending cell
integrates robotics with advanced tube
bending technology. The Tulip bending
head allows bending clockwise and
counter-clockwise rotation on the same
part and utilises unique tooling design
and positioning to eliminate conventional
interference issues, enabling bending of
the most difficult, complex part shapes.
Using a KUKA robot to manipulate
tubes, the Tulip is flexible, with fast
throughput, and does not require
additional handling devices.
AddisonMckee Hydra-Green end-
forming machines combine the
dependability of the FM range of ram
forming, sizing, and tube trimming
machines with the benefits of ‘green’
technology. The patent-pending Hydra-
Green technology is designed so that
the hydraulic pump is in operation only
when there is a demand for pressure/
flow, and therefore provides for reduced
heat emissions, hydraulic fluid usage,
noise and power usage.
AddisonMckee bend and end-form
tooling: AddisonMckee understands
the critical role quality tooling performs
in every bending and end-forming
process, and its knowledgeable design
team provides tooling solutions to
suit the full line of AddisonMckee and
Eaton Leonard equipment, as well as
equivalent models. The company also
offers in-house tool try-out capabilities,
prototype and part development for
special applications, and tool stocking
programmes.
Eagle
Muffler
Tooling:
Eagle
originated the simple, drop-in tool
design for quick changeover and setup.
Experienced engineers combined with
advanced manufacturing capabilities
and high-grade steels ensure quality
tooling with quick delivery and extended
service life and reliability. The range of
Eagle muffler tooling solutions includes
tooling for lockseamers, SRSWs, ram
and FLO style flangers, baffle stuffers,
ridge-locking equipment, cap assembly
and cap seaming machines.
Tube fixture gauges: Eaton Leonard
Tube Fixture has more than ten years’
design and manufacturing experience
and has more than 3,000 gauges in
the marketplace. Tube Fixture gauges
are available in both stainless and
aluminium, and are manufactured by a
laser cutting technology that provides
for no shape or size limitations.
Advantages include customisation for
any application, accuracy from 0.2mm,
easy to use, easy to move, and easy to
modify, and each comes standard with a
complete documentation package.
