The 8th Innovation Days showed again this year how valuable and important the open exchange of ideas is in the tube machining industry. Under the motto "Single piece or small batch - the solution for your tube production needs", numerous experts from Germany, the Benelux countries, Austria and Switzerland came together in Schmallenberg (Germany) to discuss current trends and the outlook for the future. The impetus was delivered by various presentations, which allowed our audience of experts to obtain information on the latest developments in the world of tube machining.

In its contribution on the topic of "Connection systems", Parker company presented the innovations and proven technologies in the areas of hydraulic screw fittings, cutting ring connections and flanged screw fittings. Even EO2 Form F3, a special forming process for forming a screw connection contour right onto the end of the tube, was examined in detail.

Measuring tube geometries for reproducing components, for quality assurance purposes, or for mobile recording of tube systems: the presentation from Hexagon Romer, which revolved around "Tube measurement systems in practical use", also ensured that people were paying attention.

In the transfluid presentations, the focus was on application-specific machine technologies, software systems for tube machining and various forming processes. A tour of operations also allowed the expert audience to gain a comprehensive general impression of transfluid working practices and specifically of our intelligent software solutions.

"This open exchange of ideas allowed us to open up many new perspectives. This is of particular important to our customers around the world", says Gerd N?ker, transfluid's Managing Director of Sales and Marketing "We are naturally already looking forward to the next transfluid Innovation Days, with their absorbing presentations and exciting discussions."
