The September Issue
Welcome to the latest issue of
Tube & Pipe Technology magazine.
This month we have an article on
maximising the tool life of carbide
tube cutting saws written by Christian
Mayrhofer and Willy Goellner from AME
on page 117. We also have a full feature
on cutting, sawing and profiling starting on page 102.
This issue of the magazine will be distributed at FABTECH
in the USA and EMO in Germany. The team will be at both
making sure that an international audience is aware of all
the machines featured in these pages. It is particularly good
to see EMO in Hanover return after a four-year break.
For the first time this year FABTECH will feature a
special tube pavilion, due to growing interest in the area,
so I hope this is a great success and continues to grow
over the next few years. There is definitely room in the
calendar for a major tube trade show in the US every
couple of years.
Next issue we have features on finishing, end finishing
and superfinishing as well as welding technology and
heat treatment. If you would like to submit an article for
the magazine the editorial deadline is 8 September.
The advertising deadline is 22 September.
Enjoy the magazine.
