Uraltrubprom has developed and put in operation a unique line to manufacture connections for casing pipes used in oil extraction. The peculiarity of the new line is its German robots, which have become a link between the typical mills in the manufacturing chain.

“Our main task was to unite all the separate units of the machinery into one technological line. We have been able to make presses and robots work together”, the company informed.

Each robot can lift up to 180 kg and transport it to up to 5 meters.

The line will produce connection for casing pipes under unique technology. Previously, such connections have been produced only of hot-rolled pipes at 6 plants. Uraltrubprom produces pipes using welding, as hot-rolling is impossible to implement.

Investments totaled 150 million rubles. (Ukrainian metal)
