Finishing lines and individual machines

Tube and pipe making

Complete lines for tube and pipe finishing

Whatever tubes you manufacture, the chances are they require special machining before application in the field. Line pipes must be tough enough for extreme conditions with secure weld seams; oil transport tubes and pipes must feature standardized threads. To ensure these qualities, SMS group supplies everything from individual machines to complete finishing lines. Our solutions are precisely tailored to your product range and on-site facilities. That goes for both new plants and upgrades.

Concepts

From primary product to finished tubes

You can rely on SMS group for complete finishing lines as well as individual machines for seamless and welded tubes or pipes. Depending on your customers' specifications, you need various quality control equipment with widely differing performance characteristics. Similarly, it's also necessary to integrate different machining processes into the material flow. SMS finishing lines are especially designed for these applications: OCTG finishing lines, Boiler tube finishing lines, Finishing lines for general structural pipes, Heat treatment lines.

Individual machines for tube & pipe finishing

Our spectrum of finishing lines ranges from hydrostatic pipe testers for all common certification methods, through pipe end finishing machines for facing, chamfering, upsetting, or thread cutting, right up to high-performance milling and cut-off units. Also included are roll and die dressing machines. All our systems are designed for fully automatic operation and monitored by intelligent automation solutions such as MES (Manufacturing Execution System).

Technology

Threading machines

There is a wide range of threading machines to choose from.

Chamfering machines

It's safe to say: when you use SMS chamfering machines, you can rely on burr-free, straight tube ends.

Straightening machines

Today's market demands products with maximum straightness and roundness that reliably meet strict tolerance requirements.

Upsetting presses

There are various standards for tube ends - our upsetting presses ensure your products meet them all.

Sizing presses

Your customers demand ever closer tolerances and smaller wall thicknesses.

Hydrotesters

Ideal for testing tubes under near-reality conditions is internal hydrostatic testing.

More individual machines

All machines from a single source to ensure optimal processes. Yet SMS group supplies even more individual machines to keep you fit for the future.

Heat treatment lines

Available from SMS group are quenching and tempering facilities with induction or gas heating. Our range comprises all the equipment you require, including quenching units, straighteners, and cooling beds. We customize our pipe handling equipment to each heat treatment line. That's why our fully integrated systems guarantee smooth material flow and eliminate bottlenecks. Furthermore, our scratch-free pipe handling machines help prevent defective tubes.
