New solutions for simulation of hot and

cold tube rolling processes

By Mr A Vydrin, OJSC RosNITI, Russia

‘Handle with care’

is often a phrase uttered in

caution, but not often taken as seriously as in

the handling and packaging of tube and pipe.

From machine to shopfloor, to loading bay,

and out the door to its final destination, tube

and pipe must be protected every step of the

way. But what is often not fully realised are the

efficiency gains and space saving facilitated by

innovative handling. The handy equipment of

this feature includes storage systems, forklift

trucks, bundling systems, and transport tracks.

Tube Russia has not stopped growing in

strength since it was first launched in 2003.

Held annually – and every two years alongside

wire Russia – the event continues to attract the

big names in the tube and pipe industry. This

year’s sold-out event will take place from 12-15

May 2009 at the Krasnaya Presnya exhibition

centre in Moscow. The event will again provide

a comprehensive networking opportunity for

Russia and the CIS region.

The related areas of drilling, piercing and

punching deliver true precision to tube and pipe

manufacturers. However, it is essential that this

equipment must not only operate with pinpoint

accuracy, but also offer incredible versatility

with minimum scrap. And these machines

deliver – offering punching and drilling expertise

with multi-hole capability for a whole range of

sections, profiles and materials.
