SMT Develops Robotic Tube Cutter

By Maritime Reporter & Engineering News

The robotic tube cutting system developed by SMT passed its first practical test as the computer controlled machining system was delivered midyear to the Polish shipyard Energomontaz Polnoc Gdynia (EPG). The highly flexible industrial robot systems can process steel pipes up to 50 tons and up to 14 meters long. The tube diameter varies between 100-1,200 mm. The SMT-developers designed the robotic tube cutting system according to the requirements of EPG shipyard. Thus, the pipes are clamped into the machine and may not be reclamped in the course of the machining process.
