From its origin in 1984 to the present, the ASMAG Group has become much more than an equipment supplier. Founded on the idea of a forward-looking, problem-solving culture, it lives up to its motto: ENGINEERING THE IMPOSSIBLE. —Tube production. Tube mills from SEUTHE cover strip preparation; strip accumulation; forming, welding, and sizing; and runout. ASMAG designs and builds several types of flying saw and custom material handling and packaging systems. —Recutting. For recut operations, REIKA designs and builds three saw types: rotary, chipless, and the Ringsaw®. The company also designs and builds custom material handling systems. —Drawing, extrusion, and casting. ASMAG focuses on drawing, extrusion, casting systems, for both ferrous and nonferrous applications. Related technologies include pointing, material handling, and bundling. —Galvanizing. INGENIA plans, designs, builds, and services complete material logistics and handling systems, partially or fully automated.

  • The Flexible Cold Forming® tube mill concept, pioneered by SEUTHE GmbH, is an ideal solution for manufacturers of square and rectangular tubing. The FCF concept relies far less on skilled labor, and provides far more profitable uptime, than conventional tube mills.  

    Commonly known as a cage-forming mill, the FCF uses a single set of universal tooling to make a range of tubing sizes. For example, model FCF 500 produces square tube from 1.500 x 1.500 inches to 5.000 x 5.000 inches. To switch from one size to the next in this range, the operator relies on the system’s control panel, rather than the toolbox. Moving the tooling to the new positions takes just a few minutes. In some cases, product changeovers can be accomplished in less than 30 minutes. By ASMAG’s estimate, this can reduce nonproductive downtime by 80 percent.  

    Also, because the mill forms the shape from coil, rather than round, it conserves material. Forming round first, then forming the final shape, causes excess material to accumulate in the corners. Bending the raw material directly to the finished shape from the strip prevents this from happening. It can improve material yield up to 10 percent. 

    To learn more about the FCF and the company’s other offerings, visit the booth of The ASMAG Group, D42351, at FABTECH, September 8-11, McCormick Place, Chicago. 

    Based in Hemer, Germany, SEUTHE GmbH is a member of The ASMAG Group. The members of The ASMAG Group focus on tube, bar, profile, and wire, in ferrous and nonferrous applications. The companies also design and manufacture material handling and galvanizing equipment, providing complete end-to-end turnkey manufacturing systems.   

  • Every industrial process has a bottleneck, and in tube mill technology, the bottleneck often is the cutoff system. Equipment manufacturer ASMAG uses a time-tested technology, a linear drive, to build extremely fast flying saws, reducing the impact of this bottleneck.  

    While conventional motors have a round stator and rotor, linear drive technology unrolls the stator and rotor. Fastening one component to the machine’s chassis and the other to the saw’s carriage eliminates the transmission. This technology achieves extremely high accelerations, up to 62 feet per second2, which is about twice that of a conventional saw. Depending on the specific application, it can match line speeds up to 800 FPM. 

    ASMAG’s advanced clamping technology ensures secure handling of a wide range of pipe geometries, providing stability and precision for consistent, high-quality results. Furthermore, Air Cushion Technology ensures smooth, vibration-free cutting, contributing to cut-length precision and reducing blade wear, even at high speeds. 

    This saw series reduces downtime in two ways, at installation and when it's running. First, ASMAG manufactures, tests and delivers the saw as a single unit. Integrating a new saw into an existing production line can take as little as three days. Second, the practical blade-change system allows rapid changeovers, minimizing downtime and increasing overall productivity. 

    This drive technology is available on ASMAG’s MonoCut series of saws. As the name implies, it uses a single saw blade. Available in six models, the MonoCut series covers tube diameters from 0.500 to 6.625.

    Based in Scharnstein, Austria, ASMAG GmbH is the flagship member and headquarters of The ASMAG Group.

  • Short on space and long on commitments? If you’re struggling with a difficult decision—whether to add more tube or profile capacity—equipment manufacturer SEUTHE has made this a simple choice. With a single investment, you can do both. The company designs and builds hybrid systems, which use the footprint of one machine but functions as two machines.   

    Because it’s designed to produce profiles and tube, the hybrid concept uses a large number of tooling stands for forming complex profiles, and is equipped with a high-frequency resistance welding unit for making tube. The machine is intended to produce standard profiles, custom profiles, and steel tube in diameters specified by the customer.  

    To accommodate the quick changeovers needed for just-in-time manufacturing, the machine’s design is based on the use of rafts. The forming stands before the welder, the sizing stands after the welder, and the turkshead units are rafted. The rafts are removed and replaced by overhead crane. After placing a raft on the mill, the operator uses hydraulic actuators to position the rafts and to couple the drive shafts to the stands.  

    For maximum flexibility, each driven roll has its own motor. This allows the operator to tune the system so that each driven roll rotates at the optimal speed. The control panel also allows the operator to shut off specific motors as needed, for example to prevent marking the tube or to conserve electricity.  

    The HMI stores programs for making each specific product. After the operator calls up the correct program, the software activates an automated adjustment system to move the tooling to the correct locations, sets each motor’s speed, and so on. SEUTHE estimates that, where a conventional mill might require four to five hours for a complete changeover, the hybrid system with automatic tooling adjustment requires less than two hours.  

    To support high production rates, the mill is equipped with a linear drive cutoff system from ASMAG. Linear drive technology doesn’t require a rack-and-pinion transmission, so the cutting carriage can accelerate and decelerate much more quickly than that of a conventional flying cutoff unit. ASMAG manufactures six models of linear drive saw, providing its engineers more than enough options to specify the most appropriate saw for each customer’s applications.  

    Because The ASMAG Group is long on experience in designing and building entire production systems, customers can specify custom equipment from entry to exit. This allows maximum versatility in the type and design of uncoiler, accumulator, coil end joiner, and leveler at the entry end, and the runout system, stacker, and bundler at the exit end. Options include a mist oiling system after sizing to inhibit corrosion and a measuring system to verify the product’s dimensions.

  • REIKA’s novel cutting system, the RingSaw®, was developed to take on the toughest cutting applications. Intended to make quick work of recutting heavy-wall or high-tensile-strength pipe, it’s an efficient solution for the energy market. It’s ideal for making premium and standard couplings. 

    Unlike other cold saws, it uses a blade with the cutting teeth on the ID. The blade approaches the workpiece using two motions, rotation and oscillation, entering the material at a very shallow angle. The result is a clean, burr-free end that doesn’t require further processing. Another benefit is the distribution of heat as the blade oscillates, minimizing the effect of heating the workpiece.  

    For customers looking for other cutting solutions, REIKA also manufactures rotary and chipless cutting systems, and can combine rotary and chipless into a single machine. The company also produces a wide variety of chamfering, facing, centering, drilling, and threading equipment, and custom material handling equipment to make a complete production system.
