Line-up equipment

Line-up modules align pipe ends before welding in e.g. fabrication lines of spoolbases or double (multi joint) facilities. The line-up modules can move a pipe in the horizontal and vertical direction as well as rotate the pipe. When lined out properly with the other pipe, the line-up modules can press the pipe with constant force against the other pipe, in order to assure gap-free welding.

Advantages:

  • Easy and flexible integration to existing systems (separate control box)
  • Equipment can be installed as standalone
  • Frequency controlled v-shaped (diabolo) roller
  • Fast drop down function for passing cutback/or weld band
  • Accurate horizontal and vertical holding positions
  • Pipe weld orientation can manipulated by rotation units
  • Separate hydraulic power pack (proportionally controlled)
  • Operation by an wireless remote control (radio frequency)

How It Works:

The horizontal and vertical movement is accomplished by hydraulic cylinders. The diabolo roller and rotation unit are mounted on a carriage frame, which can be moved in the horizontal direction, guided by horizontal guide profiles. The diabolo roller and the rotation unit are mounted separately on a liftable frame, which can be moved in the vertical direction, guided by vertical guide profiles.

The Full Scope:

  •  Wire less remote control box
  •  Hydraulic power pack with controls
  •  Speed select switch
  •  Automatic neutral positioning

Optional:

  •  Stalk end line up module
  •  Mounting on rails
  •  Out of roundness pipe end measurement
  •  Straightness indication
