competitive advantage for the
user, as shorter machine runtimes
lead to a massive reduction in
component costs.
High processing
quality included
In addition to the other advantages,
the process chain also guarantees
a consistently high component
quality.
For one, all machining processes
are fully automated, circumventing
errors that occur when using an
unnecessarily large number of
workhandling processes. The
vertical machining concept also
provides for optimal chip flow
conditions, preventing the build-
up of chips in the machining area,
which can interrupt the production process.
Another important focus of the machine builders in Leipzig
is the flexibility of their machines. The different frame sizes
of the VSC and VLC series machines allow for the complete
machining of coupling sleeves of a multitude of diameters:
the VSC 400 has a capacity of 23/8" to 95/8", and the VLC 800
from 7" to 24".
Furthermore, the machines are capable of cutting all types
of threads, a factor of great importance when it comes to
the oilfield industry, as Mr Fischer explains: “It is, of course,
possible to machine coupling sleeves with threads to API
and GOST standards, but proprietary threads can also be
generated. Larger oilfield technology producers have their
own thread standards. We can equip our machines to
perfectly suit these requirements.”
The vertical construction of the VSC 400 DUO CM and VSC 500 CM
coupling sleeve machines ensures optimal chip flow with no build-up
of chips to interrupt the production process
Market development opens up
new opportunities
The machine builders in Leipzig view the future with great
optimism.
Already market leaders in machines for the threading of
coupling sleeves and the machining of other oilfield technology
components, and given the dynamic development within the
oil industry, there are new opportunities opening up, as Mr
Fischer points out: “When large sub-suppliers want to expand
their production capacity, our technology is their first choice.
The production processes are very compact, yet flexible and
fast. Component costs are reduced. And we offer a global, all-
in service. These are all advantages that, in our opinion, will be
welcome in this marketplace.”
