6 th International Trade Fair for Pipes, Valves, Fittings and Components

The machine can be installed on any tube mill. Bossi – Macchine Finitura Metalli operates all over the world, with a leading position in the manufacture of machines for metal surface finishing, having more than 40 years of experience in this field. The wide production range includes machines which can solve any problem of grinding, satin- finishing, polishing, deburring, etc of any kind of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Website: www.bossi-srl.com Magnetic Analysis Corp USA 712 MAGNETIC Analysis Corporation (MAC) has designed a flux leakage system to inspect cold-worked, ERW straightened tubes used for automotive suspension structures and cross members such as axle housings. These tubular parts contain proprietary geometric characteristics that make NDT specifications more difficult due to variances in the ID of the tube. MAC’s Rotoflux ® longitudinal flux leakage rotary was designed to detect weld defects, internal and external cracks, slivers, incomplete welds, cold weld and weld porosity. The Rotoflux is capable of inspecting material from 60 to 190mm (2.5" to 7.5") OD, with wall thickness up to 20mm (0.75"). A small diameter package is included for precise inspection of smaller diameters. Mounted on a triple roll constant centring bench, the system can test to within an inch of the end of the tube based on the high quality, smooth carbon steel surface. The conductor controls allow the system to be in line at the end of the production process while integrating an existing PLC to control the mechanics. The fully

Bossi Srl – Macchine Finitura Metalli Italy 434A WITHIN the research and development of technologies that are more and more “customer oriented”, Bossi has recently designed and supplied a tube manufacturer with a set of new machines for finishing big stainless steel welded tubes, to be used in-line on a tube-mill with TIG welding system. At this show the company will be aiming to illustrate a planetary brushing machine – Mod PL 400/330 – for working diameters of up to 330mm: the machine in question is equipped with two brushes and the frame, which is properly dimensioned, holds the rotary drum mounted on ball bearings and is controlled by an inverter: the two brush opposite spindle groups are positioned on it, with motorised movement of approaching and retraction from the tube to be worked. The weight of 5,100kg and the dimensioning of the machine allow constant working, without vibrations. The simple replacement of brushes is possible thanks to the wide opening of the door with vertical sliding.

automatic final test system is completed with conveyors that include the EZ drop feature for the more delicate handling of material. Accept and reject pockets and automatic paint markers are also included. MAC will be exhibiting at Tubotech with its Brazil-based representative, Polimeter.
