Expert in Non-Repetitive Production

Modular Solutions that Scale with you

Readily from CAD to Production in minutes

The Flange Beveling Cell is a system that automates the precise beveling of pipe flanges. It fits seamlessly into KRANENDONK’s modular Robotic Pipe Shop. This semi-automated setup enables automation of key spool fabrication steps while maintaining high precision and consistent quality.

All you need to know

The Flange Milling Station is a dedicated KRANENDONK milling cell designed for machining bevel joints on neck flanges. It ensures consistent quality, precise bevel geometries, and a repeatable process that fits seamlessly into high-volume robotic pipe shop environments. The system is built to handle large, heavy workpieces and provides reliable preparation of weld-ready flanges as part of a fully integrated production flow.

Marking for flawless coordination

An integrated REA Jet printer or optional dot peen unit applies clear markings for the next step in production. This ensures accurate part identification and alignment for welding.

Pipe alignment with ZEROGAP bevel design for optimal root pass welding.

Perfect fit-up with ZEROGAP beveling

The patented KRANENDONK’s ZEROGAP bevel joint has zero root gap between pipe and fitting. This allows fast fit-up and supreme weld quality with guaranteed consistency, which is exactly what pipe spool fabrication requires.

Handles a wide range of product sizes

Processes diameters from 2” to 16” and a wide variety of wall thicknesses — thanks to adaptable fixtures that accommodate varying dimensions without compromising accuracy.

Built for large neck flange volumes

The Flange Milling Station is purpose-built to handle large neck flanges and high production volumes. It complements the Apollo Pipe Spool Milling Station by boosting total dia-inch output and enabling complete automation within the Robotic Pipe Shop.
