Sailing into the Future with Intelligence! Manufacturing Solution for the Shipbuilding Industry (Part 1): Intelligent Equipment
Sailing into the Future with Intelligence!
In the shipbuilding industry, there is a significant demand for cleaning and surface treatment. Whether it’s the pre-treatment of steel during hull construction or the regular maintenance and refurbishment of the hull, extensive cleaning is required. Traditional cleaning methods, such as manual grinding, sandblasting, and chemical cleaning, are not only low in precision and high in cost but also cause severe pollution and pose health and safety risks to workers.
Laser cleaning, with its high efficiency, stability, and non-damaging characteristics, is increasingly being adopted across the industry.
Designed for laser cleaning of various types of pipes, including round, square, rectangular, oval, and custom-shaped pipes.
Mainly applied to the cleaning of the exterior wall of LNG inner vessel, including the cleaning of all exterior wall surfaces (straight wall section and both ends of the head), with high automation, strong compatibility and simple operation.
In shipbuilding, the efficiency and quality of ship steel plates and profiles cutting directly impact production and performance. A typical application is in the blanking of hull decks, components, and parts. Shipyards need to cut whole profiles into various shapes with high precision, while traditional cutting equipment and manual operations often fall short in achieving the required accuracy, efficiency, and quality.
Laser cutting technology has become the preferred choice for cutting and blanking in shipbuilding due to its high precision, minimal impact on raw materials, and superior safety features.
Equipped with a self-developed real-time full closed-loop control system and bevel nesting software, this technology enables various types of bevel processing and reduces operational costs.
Featuring carefully selected laser sources and a state-of-the-art high-performance intelligent bus system, MARVEL Pro Series delivers exceptional precision, efficiency, and stability in laser cutting.
Designed for precision cutting of ultra-long and heavy-duty pipes. It is ideal for applications in shipbuilding, bridge construction, infrastructure, electrical towers, and smart logistics industries.
Halberd Precision Plasma Cutting System
Equipped with high-end imported precision plasma power sources, this system is suitable for industries such as construction machinery, marine engineering, and steel structures.
Welding is a crucial technology in shipbuilding industry and the maritime industry, accounting for approximately 30% to 40% of the total shipbuilding time. As a result, welding efficiency and quality directly impact production cycles, costs, and the overall quality of the hull. With the growing demand for diverse, small-batch, and highly customized production, the welding process for hull components still faces challenges related to automation and flexibility. High-end shipbuilding urgently requires advanced welding technologies and intelligent welding equipment to address these challenges.
Equipped with a fully automatic loading and unloading system, a fully automated workpiece clamping and positioning system, and combined with optical fiber welding heads, seam tracking, and weld quality inspection systems, this technology enables high-quality, low-cost continuous production.
