Automated plugging and unplugging \u2013 reliable and repeatable tube end sealing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To ensure accuracy and reliability in non-destructive pipe testing (NDT)<\/strong>, in particular ultrasonic tests<\/strong>, it is essential to ensure hermetic sealing of pipe ends<\/strong>. This is exactly what our specialised plugging\/unplugging equipment<\/strong> - a stand-alone unit that can be integrated into your production or inspection line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart, standalone machine for sealing and unsealing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The stopper\/unstopper station is self-contained on a steel frame and is used to inserting or removing plugs<\/strong> from the ends of pipes of different diameters. In each cycle, the pipe is gripped in a vice<\/strong>whose polyurethane jaws prevent damage to the surface. Clamping pressure<\/strong> can be finely adjusted by regulating the air into the pneumatic cylinder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plug storage and control system<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The plugs are stored in 60-piece tray<\/strong>, which has milled guide grooves and is equipped with sensors to check the type of plug inserted. This ensures precision and monitoring of production according to defined dimensions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Automatic plugging sequence <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. The tube is clamped in position<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. A portal arm moves above the plug and grips it<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. The gripper lifts and aligns with the pipe axis<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. The plug is pushed precisely into the tube<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. The gripper releases and returns to standby<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. The clamp opens and a new tube is loaded<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
