Tube Russia – 28-31 May, 2007 ›››
The company will present its new version
of roll design and process simulation
software, branded Copra® RF and Copra®
FEA RF, which offers enhanced features for
the design of roll tooling and the simulation/
verification of the forming process.
Copra® RF, for example, now supports the
automatic design and analysis of 4-roll
fin passes and 5-roll welding passes and
avoids users’ manual interaction in these
specific cases. It also allows for the design
of cage forming/linear forming tooling.
In the production of extremely thin walled
welded tubes the coil is often drawn to
shape rather than rollformed. With the latest
version of Copra® RF, it is also possible
to integrate the drawing dies within a roll
forming tool set. This allows the analysis
of the complete forming process and the
prediction and optimisation the final tube’s
properties.

Ebner is a leading manufacturer of heat
treatment facilities for the steel, copper, and
aluminium semi-finished product industries.
At Tube Russia, the company will present
its cutting-edge range of batch-type
fi A new feature of Copra® is the possibility to
design and model any type of rolling cage using
the software – often referred to as the straight
edge forming method. Using this new feature,
the respective rolls are not just modelled but also
transferred to Copra’s finite element package and
simulated respectively
