Apollo Spool Milling Station
The Apollo Spool Milling Station is an automated pipe spool fabrication solution designed to prepare pipes, elbows, and tees with high-precision beveling — ready for fit-up and welding. This advanced pipe end milling station features KRANENDONK’s unique ZEROGAP beveling and handles a wide range of pipe sizes and wall thicknesses. It supports efficient pipe spool manufacturing, ensuring short cycle times with highly consistent quality for pipe spool processing and welding preparation.
Expert in Non-Repetitive Production
Modular Solutions that Scale with you
Readily from CAD to Production in minutes
The Apollo Spool Milling Station is an automated component milling station designed to prepare pipes, elbows, and tees with high-precision bevels, ready for fit-up and welding. With automatic tool change and ZeroGap beveling, it handles a wide range of pipe sizes and wall thicknesses. Apollo delivers short cycle times, minimal manual grinding, and consistent results for spool fabrication projects.
All you need to know
The Apollo Spool Milling Station delivers high-performance beveling with practical features that streamline spool fabrication and increase efficiency.
Designed for scalability, it works as a standalone solution and as part of a fully integrated pipe shop. You can combine multiple stations, including extra beveling or welding units, to build a complete, automated production line for both carbon and stainless steel.
Apollo comes in different configurations with 1, 2, or 3 work zones, tailored to pipe spools or fittings. Looking for maximum flexibility? Conventional beveling tools can also be added as an optional feature.
The foundation for reliable pipe spool fabrication
Precision starts with the bevel. But it’s the combination with high-quality welding that completes the picture. That’s why many fabricators expand their Apollo setup with the Aurora Spool Welding Station — creating a fully automated, ZEROGAP-enabled workflow. Together, they form the core of a Robotic Pipe Shop: proven, integrated, and ready for production.
