The physical measurements and material characteristics of the rollers are optimised by means of the latest FEM computational models. The amount and size of installed rollers vary according to the rollerbed application in question. Because of the narrow construction of the rollers, PEMA rollerbeds are exceptionally versatile tools ideal for use with, for example, rolling work-pieces with openings and reinforcements. The state-of-the-art roller construction offers unequalled benefits, like improved loading capacity, smooth passing over seams, low rolling resistance, suitability for conical work-pieces, and optimised material composition and thickness. The compact construction of the rollers enables use with practically every kind of work-pieces.

All parameters and movements of a column & boom and connected work-piece handling equipment are controlled from a single interface. It integrates comprehensive data logging with graphical representations. The system includes connections for an optional monitoring camera and a laser seam-tracking device. With this kind of combination, welding is carried out reliably, with high productivity and to the highest quality standards. PEMA WeldControl 100 is a modern and efficient user interface for controlling column & booms. It integrates the controls of a column & boom, welding power sources, work-piece handling equipment, and welding parameters to a clear-cut, easy-to-use system. The user interface is a full-color industrial-quality touch screen. Welding process parameters are visualized by means of graphical trend lines. The system can also be connected to a factory data network.

The yards under contract are North American Shipbuilding in Larose, LA; Gulfship in Gulfport, MS; LA Ship in Houma, LA; and Tampa Ship in Tampa, FL. The service support package consists of software support, maintenance services, and spare part services. Support services for software products include software support, technical support, knowledge network management, equipment register, and follow-up inspections. Scheduled Maintenance work and service inspections of all PEMA products at ECO’s facilities will be carried out on machine-specified maintenance program twice a year for each shipyard and for each PEMA machine section. The work covers inspection and adjustment of mechanical, pneumatically-operated and electrically-operated equipment as well as inspection of electrical and mechanical safety equipment. The agreement also covers availability, logistics and stocking of genuine, high-quality spare and wear parts. Founded in 1960, the Edison Chouest Offshore family of companies now represents the most diverse and dynamic marine transportation operation in the world. ECO owns and operates a growing fleet of new generation offshore service vessels supporting a vast majority of the U.S. Gulf deepwater market. The organisation’s in-house design and shipbuilding capabilities have made it unique in the offshore boat service industry. Today, ECO runs five modern shipyards in the U.S. and one in Brazil. pema@pemamek.com 33e83e95f173d5ebf32113b151dd6783 http://www.pema.fi/eng/news/?nid=20 Thu, 21 Apr 2011 10:17:00 +0300 Pemamek Oy Ltd has agreed on design, construction and delivery a PEMA membrane wall panel line and four PEMA tube prefabrication lines for TBWES, a Thermax - Babcock & Wilcox joint venture in India. TBWES manufactures supercritical boilers in its new facility in Pune, India, with present annual production capacity of 3 000 MW equivalent. The agreement consists of two purchase orders. All lines will be delivered in October 2011. The first order covers a supercritical boiler panel welding line with a capacity to weld 25m long and max 3m wide membrane wall panels with 12 sets of Lincoln Electric PowerWave AC/DC 1000 A SD submerged arc welding equipment. The line includes complete panel transportation tracks, a fin-bar calibrating line, an automatic tube & fin-bar feeding system to the panel line, and buffer stores for sub-panels. The panel transportation track is able to perform all panel handling tasks: it includes in- and out-feeding roller conveyors for two welding machines, cross-transport conveyors for panel sideways movement, and hydraulic flip-over arms for turning the panels. The order for the tube prefabrication lines consist of three PEMA automatic tube cutting, end-bevelling and end-buffing (ATCEP) lines with integrated conveyors. Furthermore, the order includes a PEMA automatic end-bevelling and end-buffing line (ATEP) which is similar to the prefabrication lines but excludes the cutting saw. Established in March 2010, TBWES is a joint venture by and between Thermax Limited, an Indian energy and environment solutions provider, and Babcock & Wilcox Power Generation Group, Inc. (B&W PGG), a global leader in power generation industry. The United States-based B&W PGG is an operating unit of The Babcock & Wilcox Company (B&W). TBWES engineers, manufactures and supplies supercritical boilers, as well as subcritical boilers over 300 megawatts (MW) in size, for the Indian power sector. The joint venture integrates Thermax's expertise of integrating energy and environment solutions with B&W's long history of providing proven, state-of-the-art power generation technology and world class project management capabilities. pema@pemamek.com fd2622f1f4c628bb69da42a058a6d865 http://www.pema.fi/eng/news/?nid=19 Wed, 13 Apr 2011 15:23:00 +0300 PEMA has commenced the delivery of a portal-type, machine-vision aided robot heavy welding station for the Chinese Jiangsu Rainbow Heavy Industries Co., Ltd.
