Production & Process Requirements
Line speed and equipment configuration are selected according to pipe size, material, thickness, and annual output requirements.
High-frequency ERW and other applicable welding technologies can be specified according to the product and process requirements.
Flying cut-off, cold cutting, pipe end finishing, beveling, threading, or other downstream processes can be incorporated where required.

Engineering & Automation Options
Tooling and Changeover
Roll Tooling: Forming and sizing tooling is selected according to the required pipe dimensions and production range.
Quick Changeover: Cassette or other tooling arrangements can be considered for production programs requiring frequent size changes.
Existing-Line Integration: Equipment can be configured for new installations or integration with an existing production line.
Control & Automation
PLC-Based Control: Centralized control can be configured for production-line operation and equipment coordination.
HMI Interface: Operator interfaces can provide access to operating parameters and equipment status.
Automated Tracking: Pipe length measurement and cut-off control can be incorporated according to the required production process.
Testing & Quality Control
Ultrasonic Testing (UT):
Can be integrated for specified weld or pipe inspection requirements.
Eddy Current Testing:
Available where required for applicable pipe products and inspection procedures.
Hydrostatic Testing:
Can be included when pressure testing is required by the product specification or project requirements.
OEM & Engineering Customization
Product-Specific Line Design
The production line can be engineered around the required pipe range, material grades, production target, and finishing process.
Existing Mill Upgrade
Individual forming, welding, cutting, testing, automation, or auxiliary units can be considered for capacity or process upgrades.
Project Engineering
Engineering scope may include equipment configuration, production-line layout, material flow planning, installation requirements, commissioning, and operator training, depending on the project scope.
