The January Issue
Welcome to the latest issue of Tube
& Pipe Technology. This issue we
have a great feature on cutting,
sawing and saw blades, a first look
at the Tube Düsseldorf 2014 show
and an in-depth article looking at
reducing cost during heat treatment
using protective coatings. Enjoy the
magazine.
By now I am sure most readers have their
stands booked for 2014’s spectacular Tube
Düsseldorf exhibition and are busy finalising travel
preparations. After going to all of that effort my
advice would be to make sure that you make the
most of your investment at the show by backing it
up with coverage in the magazine. It makes sense
to let people know what new products you will be
exhibiting and, just as importantly, where your stand
will be located. This is a huge show and people
often do not have time to see every hall, never mind
every exhibitor, so getting your name seen is vital.
Many purchasers that I speak to tell me they plan
who they will visit before they actually arrive at the
show. So, by featuring in the pages of TPT (which
is an official media partner of organisers Messe
Düsseldorf) you can maximise your exposure at the
show and attract the attention of our readers.
Send your editorial for the March Düsseldorf issue
by the deadline of 8 January. You can contact me
at Happy New Year to all of our
readers and your families.

LINSINGER Tube cut-off machine, Type Multi-
Cut MC 4 developed and manufactured by
LINSINGER Austria. LINSINGER’s four saw
blade technology is the most productive low-
cost solution available for tube cut-off. Ideal
for round, square and rectangular tube
cut-off at high speed.
LINSINGER Multi-cut is for inline-operation in ERW lines as a flying tube-
cut off aggregate requiring highest possible availability. It utilises four
cutters working simultaneously around the pipe for a surprisingly fast cut.
If one of the four has an early lifetime end, it goes into a park position.
The remaining three tool heads cut tubes continuing until the scheduled
tool change. Thereafter there is a decrease of the tube line speed or an
increase of the cutting speed.
LINSINGER machines are engineered and manufactured in Austria.
LINSINGER offers an extended product range for the tube and pipe
industry. It covers mainly circular sawing machines for cutting of steel
billets and tube layers, milling machines for edge preparation for wind
tower construction and shipbuilding and pipe bevelling machines for
bevelling of tube ends.
