removing the need to handle tube by hand and will maximize the overall productivity and reliability of the mill exit.
“Our proven technical expertise and finish- ing solutions gave Fives the upper hand in this project. The long-standing relationship between Fives and Nucor was an added benefit, as Nucor already has trust in our solutions,” says Ricardo Sierra, Vice President of Sales & Marketing at Fives Bronx, Inc., a subsidiary of Fives, which specializes in mill and finishing equipment. “This technical expertise and our hands-on support will continue to be what makes Fives the best partner,” he adds.
Cut-off for 12K Abbey mill
Following the success of the new packaging system order, Nucor Marseilles also chose Fives to put in a new cut-off for their 12K Abbey mill, which was originally installed for structural applications.
This new cut-off will be a multi-mode cut-off machine which allows for improved quality cuts while maximizing the cutting speeds. With the packaging system and cut-off being installed by Fives on the same mill, this

became a great opportunity to implement them together and create an integrated solution.
Fives will also be upgrading the Transition Beam System (TBS) on the 12K Abbey mill
at Nucor Marseilles to support their current market requirements of 0.630” max thickness for HSS tubing. TBS is an optimized forming system capable of improving the forming process for a large range of tube sizes while also minimizing tooling costs and reducing changeover times.
Fives is looking forward to working with Nucor Marseilles on these various projects, as well as working with Nucor’s greenfield sheet mill in West Virginia, USA, to install two new galvanizing lines which will be opera- tional in 2024

Quality control in extrusion lines with X-ray technology
For over 20 years, SIKORA has been inter- nationally known for its reliable and safe X-ray measuring systems. For single-layer applications, SIKORA has developed the X-RAY 6000 PURE. The new X-RAY 6070 PURE and X-RAY 6120 PURE models are available on the market, for measuring tubes and hoses from 6 to 65 mm and 10 to 110 mm, respectively.
In addition to single-layer tubes and hoses, the total wall thickness of many multi-layer products can also be measured. In com- bination with the ECOCONTROL PURE, a processor system with a high-resolution 15“
