RSA at the Tube

Trends in the tube industry;
new sawing centre for tubes and sections

Experts of the tube industry share the same opinion: Meanwhile the purchase of machines is of strategic importance. High performance and precision are taken for granted but production and purchasing managers are looking for flexible automated solutions, which help them to be prepared for future demands.

During the last international meeting of tube manufacturers and processors - the Tube Conference in Prague last October - future basic market conditions were analysed and representative demands addressed to the mechanical engineering. Therefore, visitors to this year's TUBE (from April 24th until April 28th in Düsseldorf) will not only be interested in technical data. To be prepared for the future, said a speaker of a leading tube manufacturer, and in order to achieve production quality and efficiency, as tasks become more and more complex, machines for preparation must be very easily operated and the dependency taken off the operator. Another reason, said the tube expert, is the increasing internationalisation of production locations.
Another trend of the tube industry, for which the mechanical engineering must offer a solution, are the reduced life time cycles of the end products. New end products frequently involve new demands on the semi-finished products and consequently new preparation moves in the pre-production. Existing machines have to be adapted analogously to changing demands.

RSA will demonstrate at the TUBE how strategic considerations of the tube industry can be applied to concrete machine concepts. A new sawing centre will be shown, which represents a further development of conventional saw lines. In doing so, RSA follows new ways by simplified handling and modular extension of processing. This includes the deburring by high performance brushes, facing, chamfering, and other processing of end faces as well as the measuring, cleaning, and readiness of despatch of tubes and sections.
RSA will only disclose more concrete information regarding the new sawing centre during the exhibition itself. However, the company also promises increases of output beyond the mark of 5,000 pieces per hour as well as reduced set-up times.

A further central position in the exhibition is occupied by deburring systems as stand-alone machines or linked to machines of other brands. Interested persons may test the machines themselves. Technicians will advise on which system and which tool will offer the most efficient solution for the particular case of application.

RSA can be found in hall 3, stand 3E16.
