Finishing line with cutting and chamfering

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.

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
