Creating gap-free connections

At the heart of our Spool Milling Station lies the groundbreaking ZEROGAP technology, a patented innovation by KRANENDONK. This unique male-female bevel connection creates a seamless and precise fit between pipe-components, eliminating any gaps or misalignments.

The concept of the ZEROGAP is rooted in its name. It means that the male and female components fit together so closely and precisely that no space, or 'gap', remains between them. This tight, seamless fit ensures a high degree of alignment and positional accuracy, which significantly simplifies the subsequent welding process.

Flexible solution for manufacturing

One of the key benefits of the Spool Milling Station is its ability to function as a standalone unit or be integrated into a full pipe shop solution. This flexibility allows manufacturers to choose the configuration that best suits their needs, whether they are producing small batches of components or operating a high-volume production line.

Ease of operations

Designed with user-friendly interfaces and intuitive controls, this station ensures ease of use for operators at every step of the manufacturing process. With its straightforward operation, even users with minimal training can quickly adapt to the Robotic Pipe Shop, unlocking its full potential with ease.

Precision and traceability

By including relevant information from the PCF (Piping and Instrumentation Diagram) file, operators can easily track and verify components, streamlining traceability and supporting efficient assembly.

Ensuring safety at every step

From safety guards and sensors to emergency stop buttons, we leave no stone unturned in creating a secure working environment. These measures help prevent accidents and ensure the well-being of your operators.
