Oil, gas and structural pipe mill
equipment
KUSAKABE Electric & Machinery,
based in Japan, is a pipe and tube
mill manufacturer that is continually
developing, innovating and improving
the design and manufacture of pipe and
tube mills for the international market.
From API, oil, gas and structural to
automotive and general engineering
applications, Kusakabe can supply
the whole mill or individual pieces
of equipment to meet production
requirements.
All of the equipment is designed and
built in Japan to exacting Japanese
standards and workmanship.
The forming section of the oil, gas and
structural mills is made up of an entry
guide, the Universal Forming section
followed by the patented Cassette style
fin pass section.
The Universal Forming section
includes the breakdown passes and
all the forming up to the fin pass
stands.
Size changes are fully automatic
and controlled by the motorised roll
positioning equipment in conjunction
with an HMI (Human Machine Interface)
screen with its menus and recipes.
The positioning of the rolls is driven to
the predetermined optimum position for
each product.
The forming section using universal
tooling requires no rolls to be changed:
the position of the rolls are adjusted to
suit all the diameters to be made.
The Kusakabe Universal Forming
is designed so that the strip is easily
visible as it makes its way through the
forming process. This makes it easy for
operators and engineers to see what is
happening in the forming process. The
forming flower used to shape the pipe
minimises the work hardening while
providing the ideal edge presentation for
HF welding.
