ABB Equipment Used in Corrugated Pipe Production

A boost in capacity, improved precision of end product and reduced scrap are being experienced by a rolling mill used to make corrugated pipes, following the installation of ABB instrumentation. Tubosider decided to upgrade the machine, which has produced helicoil pipes since 1969, after its existing electrics proved difficult and costly to maintain.

With help from system integrator, John Merriman and Sons (JMS), Tubosider selected ABB as the sole supplier of the replacement equipment, which includes one AC 800M controller, one set of S800 I/O modules, two variable-speed DC drives DCS 800, one panel 800 operator panel, Compact HMI 800 software and various switchgear.
