TUBE PRODUCTS INTERNATIONAL March 2014
7-11 April 2014
are in aerospace technology, automotive
industry and furniture industry.
The Tuboform C is a new combined
table-top machine for hydraulic
connection technology, which enables
quick and safe flaring of tube ends as
well as leakage-free assembly of various
cutting-rings.
The Tuboscan S optical measuring
system determines the geometric
data of tube figures within a matter
of seconds. In addition to tube bends
with standard radii, the device can also
measure and document freeform bends.
The measuring system is suitable
for quality assurance as well as for
correction of tube bending data, and
is available with different measuring
ranges. Customer-specific requirements
can also be considered for the layout.
The Tuboscan S 200 for fast and precise
optical measuring of tube and pipe shapes
In addition to machinery and measuring
technology, Tracto-Technik will present
a new version of its Pipefab software
package. This comprehensive workflow
optimisation software has been
completely re-engineered and is now
available with various functions and new
features. Itsmodular design, startingwith
a sketch edition, over bending edition,
hydraulic edition and manufacturing
edition up to a professional edition,
ensures custom-made, practicable and
efficient solutions for all kinds of users.
voestalpine Tubulars GmbH
Austria
3D48
voestalpine Tubulars produces seamless
steel pipes up to an outside diameter
of 177.8mm (7") for the oil and gas
industry and industrial tube segments.
The company’s tubing, casing and
accessories are available in API or
proprietary grades (sour service, high
collapse, deep well, low temperature,
1% chromium and combinations), with
API or premium thread connections (eg
VAGT, VAsuperior or VAroughneck).
In addition to seamless tubular products
used in the drilling and completion of
oil and gas wells, voestalpine Tubulars
produces mechanical tubes, boiler and
heat exchanger tubes, pressure tubes
and line pipe. These pipes are delivered
to the automotive, petrochemical,
construction, mining, tunnelling
and fluid transportation industries.
All products are available according
to numerous international standards,
according to customer specifications, or
as ToughTubes
®
– thermo-mechanically
treated seamless tubes.
The company’s international sales
network combined with a worldwide
licensee
network
allows
for
comprehensive customer support. The
company’s commitment to quality and
efficient utilisation of environmental
resources is shown by its application
of management systems such as ISO
9001, 14001 (EMAS location), 50001
(Energy Management System), OHSAS
18001, TÜV and API (5CT, 5L).
WAFIOS AG
Germany
5A21
WAFIOS will present its new RBV
42 R CNC tube bending machine in
Düsseldorf, together with the machine’s
bigger brother, the RBV 60 R, which was
presented in 2013. The series couples
power with innovative technology and
new ergonomic design.
The RBV machines are versatile tube
bending machines for the production
of 2D and 3D parts with more flexibility
in the production of parts and higher
repeat accuracy. The company states
that the new, more robust design of
the machines allows significant process
improvements to be achieved.
More performance, despite increased
energy efficiency, is ensured by the use
of the most modern control and drive
technology from the robot industry.
High service and operating convenience
increase the machines’ availability.
The exhibition programme will be
completed by the BMU 50 R bending
machine, which will be exhibited for the
first time as a machine for bending tube
from the coil.
Yamazaki Mazak

Yamazaki Mazak will highlight the
benefits of the 3D Fabri Gear Mk II at
Tube Düsseldorf 2014. The 3D Fabri
Gear series was developed for high-
precision 3D laser cutting of complex
or angled configurations of long pipe
and structural materials. The laser
cutter is equipped with a 3D torch
that enables movement on five different
axes, allowing the machine to cut both
closed and open profiles.
The 3D torch delivers accuracy by
cutting vertically to ensure that the
metal tubes sit flush against each other
with no gaps. This reduces the need for
jigs to hold the cut metal in place prior
to welding and reduces the amount of
weld material, offering the benefit of
faster weld times and greater strength
from the weld. Mazak estimates that
tube cut with the 3D Fabri Gear can be
welded and assembled twice as fast as
conventionally cut tube.
Themachine on theMazak Tube standwill
be the 2.5kW version, which is capable
of cutting a pipe length of 8m. The laser
cutter is designed for the automated
cutting of any shaped material, from
round to square, rectangular, triangular
and structural profiles. It is equipped
The Mazak 3D Fabri Gear 220 II has been
developed to offer accurate cutting, which
can reduce welding and assembly times
