New logo for Savage Saws
Savage Saws has been a technology
driver in the metal cutting industry
for over 40 years. For almost
half a century, Savage Saws has
manufactured innovative abrasive
chop saws, guillotine saws, plate saws,
metallurgical saws, foundry saws,
gantry saws and custom-built speciality
saws for various industries. Customers
have learned to recognise Savage
Saws’ accuracy, speed and versatility,
by the green “get the edge” revolving
blade logo.
While the company will continue to be
a leading provider of high throughput
abrasive saws, the logo is changing
to better associate the company with
the core values of its parent company,
Inductotherm Group, which brings
together 40 companies all committed
to serving customers in the metals
and materials industry. Within the
Inductotherm Group family are the
vacuum arc remelting furnaces of
Consarc, the induction coreless
furnaces of Inductotherm, and the
high frequency solid state welders of
Thermatool.
Proven products and technologies like
the Savage Saws will be supported
well into the future by the Inductotherm
Group. While the logo may be
changing, Savage Saws’ innovative
products will continue to serve the
metal cutting industry as it has for the
past 40 years.

Efficient pipe end forming
In the vehicle construction and
automotive industry various pipe
systems are used for transportation of
different fluids and gases, eg fuel, oil,
lubricants, brake fluid, coolant liquid
or compressed air. They all represent
highly complex and security-relevant
systems that function only if all of the
individual components are working
reliably.
Special attention is placed on
the transition points between the
individual pipe components, because
they are most frequently affected by
leakage due to tightness defects. The
shapes of the pipe ends are therefore
often subject to special regulations,
national or international quality
standards. Application examples are
hose connections for brake pipes
in air braking systems (according
to DIN 74325), bead forms for hose
connections (according to DIN 71550)
or flanged pipe ends for hydraulic
braking systems (according to DIN
74234).
For these applications
Tracto-Technik
has
developed the Tuboform
A pipe end forming
machine line. The axial
working, cold forming
table-top units are suited
to flexible and economic
production of small- and
medium-sized series.
The machines are capable of precise
end forming of pipes with different
geometries and dimensions. The
specific forming tools (clamping jaws
and forming punch) are custom-
designed and can be changed within
a very short time. The respective pipe
length to be formed is pre-selected by
means of an exactly adjustable pipe-
stop.
The pipe end forming process is
started via push button or foot switch
and is then performed automatically.
The pipe is securely fastened by the
clamping jaws, then formed according
to the geometry of the forming punch,
and finally released again. The whole
end forming procedure occurs within a
matter of seconds.
Tracto-Technik has initially launched
two pipe end working machines,
Tuboform A3 and Tuboform A5, for
pipes of outside diameter up to 12mm
and 20mm respectively.
The A3 model has forming force and
clamping force of 25kN, while the
A5 has 60kN. Both models have a
hydraulic specification of 5 l/min, 200
bar, and power consumption of 1.7kW.
In addition to mild steel and stainless
steel, pipes made from copper,
aluminium or different special alloys
can be precisely formed.
