Developed by SMT Systemtechnik GmbH of Germany, the computer controlled machining system was delivered mid-year to the Polish shipyard. Specializing in ship repair and ship conversion, the EPG shipyard in Gdynia has begun to expand its production profile to include the offshore market.
Based in Syke, Lower Saxony, SMT Systemtechnik GmbH manufactures highly flexible industrial robot systems. The SMTdevelopers designed the robotic tube cutting system according to the specific requirements of EPG. The pipes are clamped into the machine and not re-clamped during the course of the machining process.
