All customers choose to expand their Aurora setup with the Apollo Spool Milling Station, adding KRANENDONK’s patented ZEROGAP technology to the workflow. By preparing every pipe end with consistent bevels, it ensures precise fit-up and weld-ready joints, essential for reliable, automated welding.

Fit-up typically takes time and often requires visual or manual inspection before welding can begin. With ZEROGAP, this process step becomes significantly faster and more reliable, allowing you to eliminate the need for additional verification. This upstream innovation reduces rework, maximizes consistency, and accelerates your entire spool fabrication cycle.

For many fabricators, it’s not just an add-on, it’s a productivity multiplier that unlocks the full potential of automated spool welding. This makes it a foundational element of any fully integrated Robotic Pipe Shop.
