In high-precision sectors like shipbuilding, offshore engineering, and energy,    the welding quality of pipe fittings is critical to pipeline system safety. The precision of bevel grinding is especially vital,    as it directly determines weld strength.

ROBOTICPLUS.AI developed an Intelligent Grinding Center for Pipe Fittings for a leading Chinese offshore equipment company.    It precisely grinds internal and external bevels on various components—elbows, tees, reducers, and flanges—delivering superior quality,    efficiency, and consistency.

Core Technologies

• Smart Recognition: Line laser scanning automatically generates high-precision grinding paths with millimeter-level positioning.

• Adaptive Force Control: High-precision force-sensing ensures consistent and uniform grinding results.

• Smart Tool Management: Real-time monitoring of tool wear and process parameters enables accurate lifespan prediction and automatic material changeover, reducing waste and cost.

• Digital Management: Integrated production, process, and quality data modules enable data-driven, intelligent management of the entire workflow.
