After the cancellation of the leading international trade fairs wire and Tube 2020 due to the current COVID-19 infection situation, the next editions will take place from May 9 to 13, 2022.

“We look forward to welcoming exhibitors and visitors to Düsseldorf in person again,” says Daniel Ryfisch, Project Director wire / Tube & Flow Technologies. “Corona has shown that digitalization brings many advantages. But it cannot replace personal meetings, conversations and contacts”.

Wire and Tube, which were originally planned for March 30 to April 3, 2020, were on a record course until the COVID-19 related postponement. The number of registrations from exhibitors and visitors in spring exceeded all expectations. “For us this was a further signal and renewed confirmation that we have the No. 1 trade fairs for the wire, cable and tube industry here in Düsseldorf”, explains Daniel Ryfisch. “This is where the international top decision-makers of the exhibitor and visitor sectors come together.”

As usual, wire will be located in halls 9 to 17 – and Tube in halls 1 to 7.0. Companies wishing to exhibit at wire and Tube 2022 can already register starting at the end of March 2021

3C CLOMEA is an Italian company that designs and manufactures bending machines and equipment for processing metal pipes and profiles. Founded in 1944, it has decades of experience in the mechanical sector. Over the years, the company has expanded its production and currently has a wide range of models of bending machines of various sizes and with different levels of technology. The machines are reversible, to allow you to choose the working position (horizontal or vertical) according to the space available.

Our machines are equipped with different models of electronic and numerical controls: the latter allow you to manage single-pass machining cycles to create multiple consecutive radii on the same bar, as well as automatic multi-pass machining cycles to create simple geometries. The import of DXF files, the possibility of connecting to the network and remote assistance are other functions present in our controls, easy to use and intended to speed up and meet the needs in the different sectors. The versatility of the machines, in fact, finds application in numerous fields and different industrial sectors such as metal carpentry, furniture and lighting, shipbuilding, railway or automotive, the production of windows, facades and verandas and roofing in general.

Using special equipment, our bending machines ensure the management of concave and convex radii in a single processing step, or the creation of spirals with variable pitches and radii, programmable and automatically controlled by the CNC.

Our technical office designs, develops and builds rollers and equipment aimed at ensuring maximum precision during all work phases and minimizing deformations on the material. The steel rollers allow you to work on rough profiles, painted or subjected to other treatments. Like the machines, all equipment and rollers undergo a rigorous testing before delivery. We offer a training service to the staff who will operate on the machine, in order to verify the functionality of the machine itself and the conformity of the equipment, as well as a consultancy and assistance service.

The particular attention paid to the requests and needs of our customers allows us to offer customized solutions, which allow us to extend the field of application of our bending machines and to fully satisfy those who turn to our company. A single machine for the most diverse needs.

On the occasion of the “2020 Global Awards for Steel Excellence” sponsored by Fastmarkets, Marcegaglia Ravenna presented itself with 5 applications in three different categories, thanks to two innovative projects: Tensil Pro and Smart Line. The first was conceived and developed entirely by Marcegaglia Ravenna, the second is the result of a fruitful collaboration with Fives.

The award ceremony took place on 24 July, in connection from New York. Marcegaglia Ravenna won for “Best Operational Improvements” while the duo Fives + Marcegaglia won for “Information Technology Services“.

These awards are the result of the strategic role that Research and Development has taken on in the Marcegaglia Group in recent years, focused on the continuous improvement of processes and the development of innovative solutions. For five years, an R&D structure has been implemented in the Ravenna plant, based on skills from bodies of excellence, which supports process engineering for the improvement of the production area and researches product solutions customized to customer needs.

Tensil Pro is an online detection system for the mechanical characteristics of materials. It was created to improve product quality and process efficiency. Tensil Pro is applied to all metallic materials, all magnetic and non-magnetic steels, to aluminum or copper alloys, starting from the hot rolling process.

Smart Line, on the other hand, was born from the collaboration between Marcegaglia and Fives, from the combination of Tensil Pro and Fives’ great experience in industrial automation. Smart Line integrates all the coil transformation production processes starting from hot rolling up to the finished product.

Tensil Pro and Smart Line allow to improve production costs thanks to energy saving and productivity increase, to obtain a greater homogeneity of mechanical characteristics (in particular for the automotive sector), to study quality and process trends as they vary of the input material (to alleviate the differences between the different supplies, steel makers).
