consistent look and feel as well as<br />

enabling combined defect reporting.<br />

The testers can easily be combined<br />

into complete, automated test systems<br />

including triple pinch benches to<br />

maintain accurate positioning, standard<br />

and custom conveyors, markers,<br />

sorters, demagnetisers, water circulation<br />

systems for ultrasonic test applications,<br />

and sophisticated controls, all designed<br />

by MAC.<br />

Typical system applications include<br />

testing welded and stainless tube,<br />

Omni-x CZ sro<br />

Czech Republic<br />

5D20<br />

Following demand from existing<br />

customers, Omni-x has increased<br />

its mandrel bending tooling range to<br />

include end-forming tooling.<br />

Parent company Omni-x USA had<br />

already started producing end-forming<br />

tooling after a successful design and<br />

testing period. Omni-x CZ has followed<br />

suit, and after undergoing its own<br />

testing and design procedures is now<br />

fully up and running.<br />

With the new tooling added to the<br />

range, the company also decided to<br />

invest in extra personnel, machinery<br />

and the expansion of the premises<br />

in Brno, Czech Republic. Five new<br />

machines have been purchased: two<br />

Haas VF 2 vertical machining centres,<br />

a Doosan Lynx 220 turning centre, a<br />

Doosan Puma 2600 turning centre and<br />

a Mitsubishi BA24 wire cut EDM.<br />

To house these new machines, and also<br />

to provide extra space for continued<br />

growth, the production area has been<br />

expanded from 1,100m 2 to 2,100m 2 ,<br />

and a new 600m 2 warehouse has been<br />

added. There are also plans in place to<br />

purchase more machines in 2014, which<br />

will lead to further job creation for the<br />

local area.<br />

As both the aerospace and the<br />

automotive industries continue to<br />

show signs of growth, the demands<br />

for new and more complex tooling are<br />

increasing. With its team of designers,<br />

engineers and highly skilled CNC and<br />

milling machine operators, Omni-x states<br />

that it is prepared for any tooling project.<br />

Oscar Production Group Ltd<br />

Ukraine<br />

4F18<br />

Oscar Production Group is a<br />

manufacturer of seamless tube, pipe<br />

and round bar produced from titanium,<br />

nickel alloys and stainless steels.<br />

The group was established from the<br />

specialised tube drawing plant No<br />

4 (TDW 4) of Nikopol Yuzhnotrubny<br />

Plant (NYTP) Ukraine, which began the<br />

production of tubes in 1975.<br />

The company’s range of tube sizes runs<br />

from diameters of 0.3 to 133mm, with<br />

wall thicknesses from 0.08 to 15mm. The<br />

group’s specialities are the production<br />

of extremely thin walled titanium tube<br />

with large outside diameters, and the<br />

production of titanium ribbed tubes with<br />

very tight tolerances on all dimensions<br />

of the rib and tube. Another speciality is<br />

the production of multi-layer tubes with<br />

individual layers from 0.16 to 0.25mm<br />

thickness; from two to 12 layers are<br />

possible.<br />

A new addition to the company’s range<br />

is the production of titanium grade 5<br />

hollows, aimed at the offshore oil and<br />

gas industry. Oscar also manufactures<br />

a wide range of products for the general<br />

industrial markets. As well as tubular<br />

products, the company can produce a<br />

range of round bar in titanium from 16<br />

to 100mm diameter.<br />

The Oscar Group’s production area<br />

for the cold working of tube and bar<br />

covers 1.4mn square feet, in which is<br />

situated over 60 units of cold drawing<br />

and rolling equipment, providing a<br />

massive production capacity. In addition<br />

to this, Oscar has a powerful and<br />

comprehensive thermal treatment facility<br />

for tubes in a non-oxidising atmosphere<br />

of ultra-pure hydrogen (bright annealing)<br />

and in vacuum. Investment has been<br />

made to extend the lengths of some<br />

of the furnaces in order to be able to<br />

produce extra-long tubes. This gives<br />

wider possibilities for the manufacture<br />

of super alloys in titanium, nickel alloys<br />

and special stainless grades.<br />

Oscar Production Group constantly<br />

invests in development of technology<br />

and upgrading of equipment, as well as in<br />

establishing a quality control standards<br />

to the demands of the aerospace,<br />

nuclear, chemical, petrochemical, oil<br />

and gas, pharmaceutical, defence and<br />

shipbuilding industries.<br />

In early 2013 Oscar Group was awarded<br />

ISO 9100 certification from TÜV<br />

Nord, and is also certified to ISO<br />

9001:2009, TÜV Nord PED 97/23/EC, AD<br />

2000-Merkblatt, VNITI-Test UkrSEPRO<br />

system and DSTU ISO 9001:2008.<br />

Skilled QA personnel can provide all tests<br />

according to domestic and international<br />

standards, such as GOST, TU, EN, DIN,<br />

ASTM, ASME and AMS.<br />
