Depiction of Four-Roll-Welding-Pass in COPRA® RF 2019. The latest COPRA® RF 2019 will also be introduced at EuroBLECH. The leading design software likewise has various new functions. Designers can now mark coated or visible areas of a cross section. The primary material is more often delivered with already coated surfaces that must not be damaged by the subsequent shaping process. The design of flower and roll tools has been shortened once again, due to the possibility of cutting in points of intersection. Additionally, the roll dimensioning can be laid out in tabular form with the coordinates of the contour points. For producers of round and rectangular tubes, COPRA® RF 2019 will automatically generate a four-roll-welding-pass. COPRA® FEA RF 2019 visualizes common defects in roll forming. Finally, the axis configurator allows for saving and loading of the axis positions related to each individual project. Following the “digital twin”- concept, the positions can thus be kept up to date in the machine as well as within the project. . http://www.datam.de TUBE NEWS EVENTS August 2018 15
