Special machine for processing both ends of long steel pipes! 'FLEX U+ CYLINDER'

Special machine for processing both ends of long steel pipes! [Opposing CNC Facing Machine]

We perform a series of processes including machining the inner diameter, outer diameter, end face, and threading of the cylinder, as well as the transportation, processing, and delivery of the workpiece. Equipped with a right unit for 500-type CNC facing, we have an automatic tool change device (ATC) that allows for the selection of tools based on the workpiece diameter and processing requirements, accommodating a variety of workpiece lengths (approximately 3000 to 14000 mm). To handle workpieces with diameters ranging from φ40 to φ400, we have adopted a two-pod type facing system. The two pods are positioned differently from the center of the facing, with Pod 1 processing workpieces from φ40 to φ200 and Pod 2 processing workpieces from φ200 to φ400, allowing a single facing head to accommodate various diameters. Before processing, we measure the workpiece center using an automatic touch probe measurement system and automatically correct the misalignment values in the Y-axis (vertical direction) and C-axis (horizontal direction).
