High output of premium threads –
JFE Chita Works orders second premium threading machine from SMS group
SMS group (www.sms-group.com) has received a new order from JFE Steel Corporation, Chita works, Chukyo Industrial Zone, Japan, for a premium threading machine.
This new machine, which will be JFE´s second threading machine from SMS group, will enable the producer of premium threads to expand its production capacities.
The threading machine of type TCG 43/4 is able to thread pipes in the diameter range from 139.7 to 406.4 millimeters with wall thick-nesses from 7.0 to 50.8 mil- limeters and lengths of up to 15 meters.
The machine operates according to the “stationary tool – rotating pipe” principle. With this method
it can cut standardized inside and outside threads as well as all premium threads.
Thanks to latest FMEA (failure mode and effects analysis) tech- nology and temperature control, the machine has an outstanding stability and produces threads of highest quality. The powerful drive achieves excellent accel- eration and deceleration rates, resulting in a high output of premium threads and of high per- formance chromium grades. The pipe threads comply with the pro- duction standards for all API 5CT steel grades, JFE grades and other international standards.
Type TCG threading machine with rotating pipe supplied by SMS group to JFE Chita Works.
