and the program independently looks for alternative solutions if a collision occurs during simulation. Using other 3R programs, like the RoniBase database program or the RoniCAD construction program, the user can create an integrated software framework. Because every program accesses the same database, there are no compatibility problems, since every program uses the same data. Therefore clients will be capable of streamlining and controlling the entire fabrication process, from planning and construction to quality control. Progress of individual jobs can be checked at any point, so that the operator is always aware of the production status of every item. The features of Kolli, RAMP, RoniCAD and other 3R Software Solutions programs are customised for the user, making the programs both easy to learn and comfortable to operate.

EXHIBITOR LISTING

6D28

Ad Tubi Inossidabili SpA produces welded tube made of stainless steel, duplex steel, superduplex steel, and exotic alloys. The product range covers TIG welded round section tubes, with a dimensional range from 7.24mm to 50.8mm, and WT from 0.4mm to 3mm. The company is highly specialized in the production of tube for heat exchangers, with special lengths/tolerances, in bright annealed executions. This type of product represents an average of 65 per cent of the company’s complete output. The company possesses ISO 9001:2000 and AD2000W0 certifications with TUV and Lloyd’s Register approval. Due to a fully controlled production system, certified production process and a fully equipped laboratory, Ad Tubi offers its customers a state-of-the-art product. The company is currently undergoing a very interesting expansion project, focused on the building of a new factory that will be ready by mid-2008. It will allow the company to increase the quantity of material produced and also the range of dimensions offered, due to the introduction of new welding lines. The new factory will be equipped with new modern machines, while continuous technological research and development will assure the highest quality standard. The installation of photovoltaic panels will be carried out for the production of electric energy to meet environmental requirements .

Interfaces to the most common third party programs are available, including Tribon, AutoCAD, Inventor, Medusa and UniGraphics, while interfaces to other software can be implemented if required. Rather than forcing the user to select from a list of pre-created models, Kolli 7 includes editor modules for tools, machines and materials. These allow users to create three-dimensional models of the exact machines and tools used in their pipe shop. Special and multi-layered tools can be created in minutes, and modifications and extra features of machines can be included when the model of the machine is created. The material editor makes it possible to take the special properties of different metals into consideration, such as differences in elasticity (springback values). Isometric display of the tube created by the bending data allows for easy visualisation,
