APPLICATION SOLUTION · 02

OCTG Manufacturing

For factory production of tubing, casing and riser, integrating pipe-end preparation, coupling make-up, quality evaluation, handling and traceability.
01

What the operation must solve

  • Achieve repeatable, controlled coupling make-up at the required rate
  • Support process requirements for API and premium connections
  • Coordinate end processing, handling, gauging, weighing, marking and discharge
  • Create records aligned with the plant quality system
02

Typical operating workflow

  • Define product range, connection procedure, rate and layout
  • Identify, load, position and prepare the tubular end
  • Pre-fit the coupling, grip, rotate and perform controlled make-up
  • Evaluate results against torque, turns and process windows
  • Complete gauging, weighing, marking, data storage and discharge
03

Typical system scope

  • Tubing/casing coupling make-up machine and tooling
  • Torque-turn measurement, control and recording system
  • Pipe-end forming, reducing or related auxiliaries
  • Walking beams, conveyors, loading and transfer mechanisms
  • Length/weight measurement, identification, marking and data interfaces
04

Project configuration options

  • Standalone machine, semi-automatic cell or complete line
  • Recipe management for torque, turns and speed
  • PLC, HMI, distributed I/O, interlocks and diagnostics
  • Interfaces to MES, quality databases or customer systems
