The

Innovation
Days 2013
THE 8th Innovation Days showed again
how valuable and important the open
exchange of ideas is in the tubemachining
industry. Under the motto “Single piece or
small batch – the solution for your tube
production needs”, numerous experts
from Germany, the Benelux countries,
Austria and Switzerland came together
in Schmallenberg (Germany) to discuss
current trends and the outlook for the
future. The impetus was delivered by
various presentations, which allowed the
audience of experts to obtain information
on the latest developments in the world of
tube machining.
In its contribution on the topic of
“Connection systems”, company Parker
presented to the meeting the innovations
and proven technologies in the areas
of hydraulic screw fittings, cutting ring
connections and flanged screw fittings.
EO2 Form F3, a special forming process
for forming a screw connection contour
right onto the end of the tube, was
examined in detail.
Measuring tube geometries for
reproducing components, for quality
assurance purposes or for mobile
recording of tube systems was the title
of the presentation by Hexagon Romer,
which looked at “tube measurement
systems in practical use”.
In the transfluid presentations, the
focus was on application-specific
machine technologies, software systems
for tube machining and various forming
processes. A tour of operations also
allowed the expert audience to gain
a comprehensive general impression
of transfluid working practices and
specifically of its intelligent software
solutions.
“This open exchange of ideas allowed
us to open up many new perspectives,”
said Gerd Nöker, transfluid’s managing
director of sales and marketing.
