Siempelkamp Giesserei GmbH

Features:

• Complete hydraulics
• Automation technology for the entire plant
• SicoRoll software for determining the relevant rolling parameters with the help of a database, containing data of tools and materials as well as common rolling curves
• DAHMOS system for the storing of process parameters and for maintenance

Advantages:

• Customer-specific design
• Open programming: customers can produce custom rolling curves and strategies
• Precise laser measurement systems
• Process reliability due to SicoRoll control
• High repeat accuracy due to DAHMOS system
• Maintenance-friendly due to easy and quick replacement of wear caps

Features and function:

• Servo-hydraulic drive system
• Direct position measuring systems for precise force and position dependent operation
• Roller tables in front and behind the press with automatic lifting and positioning of sheet metal
• Different die geometries for the corresponding straightening tasks
• Hydraulic damping of the roller tables
• Process data acquisition and evaluation
• Automatic die changing system
• Integrated sheet metal handling systems

Advantages

• Level evenness of roller table at the measuring side after the press
• High added value due to reduced machining operations
• Reduced set-up times
• Very precise straightening processes
• Heat-straightening of sheet metal
• Resource-efficient production and further processing of heavy plates

Siempelkamp is number one in tailor-made plants for the leading manufacturers of pipeline pipes.
These large-diameter pipes with longitudinal weld seams are manufactured using crimping, U-forming, and O-forming presses. Compared to other processes on the market, these three presses achieve high production outputs of up to 30 pipes per minute regardless of the pipe diameter.
For these large presses featuring our proven metal frame construction, the heavy component parts and tools are manufactured in our in-house foundry. The three hydraulic presses present the essential forming units of a modern production line for longitudinally welded pipes with lengths of up to 18 m in three forming steps.
For each of the three forming steps, Siempelkamp offers the optimal press and the associated equipment for the forming line (e.g., pipe transport, lubrication, measuring).
U-forming presses are equipped with three to four main cylinders for a pipe lengths of approx. 11-18 m. The sheet metal is precisely positioned and centred in the press and formed along the horizontal and vertical forming directions. The controlled operation of all three axes allows the manufacture of the optimal U-shape.
