New cutting ring system
VOSS Fluid has developed a new
patented cutting ring system. The
VOSSRingM with VOSSRing pre-
assembly stud provides leakage
protection and effectively prevents
installation errors on pipe connections
in hydraulic systems, while reducing the
required physical effort.
Suitable for cuts on all steel and
stainless steel pipes, the ring’s material,
geometry and technical characteristics
are designed for maximum pressure
and dynamic load capacity up to 800
bar. Other benefits include prevention of
flange damage and pipe slippage.
Voss has also developed an installation
solution that provides process reliability
even with high staff turnover: the
VOSSRing pre-assembly stud makes
installation simple yet accurate.
The tool blocks further travel with
a dead stop as soon as the ring has
travelled the ideal pre-assembly
distance.
The increase in force tells the installer
that the end location of the pre-assembly
has been reached, and unintended
excess installation is therefore not
possible. In addition to the dead stop
functionality, the solution provides
enough clearance to perform a finish
cut on the ring during final installation.
Leakage-proof and process-reliable
repetitive installations are the result.
At the same time, the VOSSRing pre-
assembly stud simplifies the work of
installers: the final installation travel is
reduced from 90° to 30°, reducing the
required clearance during installation
and cutting the physical effort
approximately in half.
VOSS Fluid is a supplier of hydraulic
connection technology. The company’s
product portfolio includes pipe
connections for stationary and mobile
hydraulics, including cutting ring screw
unions, tube and pipe forming systems
and flanged connections.

Professional welding tables
STRONGHandTools is themanufacturer
of BuildPro welding tables and Strong
Hand Tools welding clamps, as well as
being the North American distributor of
German-made Siegmund high-precision
welding tables.
The company has introduced the
new Siegmund Professional Extreme
750 welding tables, designed to be
hard, durable and very flat. Constructed
from premium through hardened steel,
the Professional Extreme 750 welding
tables are finished with a plasma
nitride treatment, resulting in a double-
hardened table that the company claims
will last a lifetime.
This hardening process results in a
deep, hard case that prolongs the life of
the table surface, protects against stroke
impact, and provides a more wear- and
corrosion-resistant surface with a glossy
black shine. The tables have a surface
hardness of 750 HV (~60 HRC), and
are available in System 16 and System
28 versions, with 16mm and 28mm
boreholes respectively.

Belt grinding of heavy bars
and tubes
GRIND Master offers a trolley type
machine for belt grinding and finishing
of large diameter and heavy bars and
tubes.
The machine has heavy-duty
roller supports to take up the tube/
bar to be ground. It also provides
the rotational drive to the job being
ground. The floating belt grinding
heads are specially designed to take
care of bend and ovality in tubes.
These heads are mounted on a long
trolley, which is rigid in construction.
The machine has very easy settings
to ensure quick changeover from one
job size to another. Tubes from 6 to
300mm diameter can be ground.
