Complete turnkey integrated line
for brake and fuel lines
FOR decades, Haven’s Model 801 and
803 dual-blade shear cut-offs have been
used by automotive brake line and fuel
line manufacturers for their cut-to-length
operations.
The single- and double-axis machines
are fast, accurate and reliable, but are
only a portion of what the company
provides to this industry.
Haven offers complete turnkey
integrated lines that include uncoilers,
loop accumulators, tube straighteners,
fallout conveyance systems and exit
accumulation tables.
Working together, an uncoiler and
a loop accumulator allow the Haven
cut-off to operate at the fastest speed
possible, especially for longer lengths.
The accumulator compensates for the
cut-off start and stop cycle, making sure
there is always material available to
the cut-off for any length. The uncoiler
simply unwinds the material to fill the
accumulator. This sequence creates an
uninterrupted flow of material to the cut-
off operation.
Haven Manufacturing can design and
build a wide variety of material handling
systems for the tube and bar markets,
working with the customer to develop
the correct solution for the specific
application.

Ajax Tocco supplies bright annealing
induction furnace
AJAX Tocco Magnethermic has shipped
a bright annealing induction furnace to a
major stainless steel tube manufacturer
in the northeast USA.
The bright annealing system pro-
gressively heats the stainless steel tube
to high temperatures in an atmosphere
of inert gases, and then anneals the
tube in a cooling chamber to reduce the
hardness of the steel, in order to achieve
ductility for further processing. Special
features include the ability to produce a
high quality product with a ready-to-ship
surface finish.
The equipment supplied consisted
of a hydrogen atmosphere heating and
cooling system, utilising an Ajax Tocco
75kW Pacer T IGBT induction power
supply.
Ajax Tocco Magnethermic designs
and manufactures induction heating
and melting equipment for various
industries and applications around
the world. It also provides a range of
services that include laboratory process
development, preventive maintenance,
equipment repair and parts, coil repair
facilities and installation services.

Por table crimper
TECHMAFLEX, a French manufacturer
of assembly machines, has developed
a hose crimping solution for the forestry
industry. Forestry machines such as
forwarders, skidders, harvesters and
cranes consume a lot of hydraulic hoses.
With numerous constraints
due to the challenging
environment, the hydraulic
hoses need to be changed
regularly. Most forest sites
have restricted accessibility,
but on-site maintenance can
be carried out using a mobile
workshop.
Techmaflex’s H Crimp 110
can crimp hoses up to 1"
4SP. It is lightweight (21kg)
and robust thanks to protective wings
surrounding the head. The narrow head
(220 x 222 x 240mm) delivers a 110-ton
crimping force, combining flexibility with
high power. A removable plate improves
the operator’s comfort and makes
carrying more convenient.
H Crimp 110 is available via a
distributor network, both in France and
internationally.
