Established in 1963, Italy’s BS Sas
manufactures a range including punching
units, presses and shearing units. The
company has launched the advanced BS
P80 punching machine, manufactured
to satisfy the requirement of automatic
punching of tubes (round, square,
rectangular) as well as different types of
profiles.
CNC controlled, the punching machine
can carry out a range of processes
including blind or through holes, achieved
by changing the stroke of the punch into
the control panel. It can also undertake
punching of round, square, and rectangular
holes, as well as slot punching.
Tools can be changed easily, in a very short
time, while the BS P80 can be quickly set to
solve a large range of punching problems.

Bültmann is the manufacturer of special
machines for semi-finished products, with
a range that includes drawing centres
(tube, rod and section), tube pointing
equipment, straightening machines (tube,
rod and section), and other production
facilities.
The Bültmann automatic production line
for steel tubes enables manufacture of 4m
long automotive tube every two seconds.
The operation of the line is carried out by
three persons only.
The Bültmann tube production line
comprises automatic tube separation
(also suitable for curved tubes), pointing
equipment, quadruple tube drawing
machine with maximum 90m/min drawing
speed (with toothed rack drive), and a
10-roll tube straightening machine with a
maximum 200m/min return speed.
The production line also includes sawing
equipment with four saws, double
chamfering equipment, visual tube testing,
eddy current testing equipment, and tube
bundling and strapping equipment.

Can-Eng Furnaces Ltd is a leading designer
and manufacturer of industrial heat
treatment equipment. Since 1964, these
rugged furnaces have served commercial
and captive heat treaters, stamping and
fastener companies, automotive component
producers, the iron and steel industries,
aluminium foundries, agricultural,
construction and appliance manufacturers.
The company’s product line includes
continuous steel tube heat treatment
systems, continuous mesh belt furnace
systems, batch integral quench furnace
systems, nonferrous heat treatment systems
(T4, T5, T6, T7), nonferrous basketless heat
treating systems, Scada system process
enhancement technology (PETTM) and a
wide array of custom furnace solutions.
Applicable for API drill tube applications, the
Can-Eng walking beam furnace systems
have fully integrated hardening, quenching
and tempering for high volume and
continuous production up to 10,000kg per
hour of long products. Its unique quenching
system maintains straightness and provides
extremely uniform metallurgical and
mechanical properties. Can-Eng’s furnaces
operate up to 1,100°C, have optimum
circulation of hot gases and allow for easy
scale clean out.

Contrôle Mesure Systèmes provides eddy
current inspection technology for tube,
bar, wire, and profiles, suitable for online
and off-line testing. The equipment range,
designed to meet quality standards such
as API, ASTM, and DIN, includes the
portable instrument and the
Eddyscan 30X system for on and off-line
inspection.
The company has also launched the
and the for
simpler applications that do not need the
strength of the
One of the smallest instruments on the
market, the offers unique
features including multi-channels, multi-
frequencies, and frequency range from
10Hz to 10MHz.
The has a supervision system
that allows control of all peripheral devices,
sorting management and reporting. These
reports give defect location, type, number of
good and bad parts, together with different
rates in a virtually unlimited number of
parameter sets.
Remote control of the is
possible via the internet, offering the
possibility to supervise or support from any
location.

data M develops software to help engineers
optimise tube properties and understand
the strains a tube undergoes as it is
manufactured and later fabricated.
This knowledge can help engineers to
lessen the amount of material necessary
and also reduce or eliminate annealing, thus
bringing down energy and material costs.
