Finishing
Finishing line with cutting
and chamfering
IN the second half of 2011, the Prestar
company installed another fully automatic
finishing line at its Russian customer TMK
Group. The line for the tubes and pipes of a
diameter of 16 to 140mm and of a length of
up to 24 metres is intended for chamfering
the tube ends following the non-destruction
testing equipment and subsequently to cut
the pipes and tubes of exact lengths. The
required cycle for pipe and tube cutting
ranges between 12 and 50 seconds,
depending on the pipe and tube diameters.
Two chamfering machines are intended
to chamfer the pipes’ and tubes’ ends
and visual check following the pipe and
tube cutting. The Prestar automated line
is connected after the NDT equipment and
processes the pipes and tubes with pre-set
dimensions requiring minimum operators to
attend the equipment.
The storage pocket and the separation
unit inserted into the line after NDT and
before the cutting make it possible to use
the line even in the off-line mode.
Two automated packaging units represent
another delivery supplied by the Prestar Sro
company to the Russian and Belarusian
market.
The packaging machines may produce
square or hexagonal tube bundles.
Following the production of a bundle, the
pipes and tubes of diameters ranging from
20 to 240mm and in lengths of up to 12
metres are strappped with the automated
strapping machines of the Signode type.
After being strapped, the bundles are
automatically weighed and prepared for
shipment.
Both machines work in automatic mode.
The packaging machine output information
is sent to Level 2 of the factory management.
Prestar supplies to its customers full
automatic finishing line but also supplies
individual machines and the handling
between the individual machines (NDT,
threading machines and straightening
machines).
This handling is always fully automated
and the control system is connected to the
equipment at the input or at the output from
handling.
