Rancho Cordova, CA – February 17, 2014 – Tri Tool Incorporated today introduced a CNC highproduction counterboring service for the offshore market with unique, seven
axis CNC controls. To meet the demand for deep counterbore machining of steel
catenary risers and critical pipeline construction needs, Tri Tool has designed
and manufactured the new high speed system with safety as a top priority. “No
one else has this technology, and now along with our laser-assisted pipe end
alignment, productivity will be tremendously increased for our customers,” says
Todd Fox, Vice President of International Sales. Tri Tool Services will operate the equipment
which will be mobilized for on-site service from the company’s new Houston
location.
“In pipe yards and spool bases
where safety is paramount and serious injury is a concern, eliminating the need
for any manual pipe handling significantly reduces that risk,” stated Mark
Marshall, VP of Engineering, Operations and Production. “Our engineers, as
usual, designed to our highest quality standards and developed patentable
features that will ensure that this service will produce the most consistent
and precise results.”
The new CNC High Speed Deep
Counterbore Service features the latest, patent pending machining technology.
Tri Tool delivers deep counterbore precision, rapid cycle times and superior
surface finishes, using the safest pipe handling system available. Safety is
optimized in this system with incoming and outgoing mechanized pipe handling
racks that require no manual pipe handling. Cycle times are optimized with
laser-assisted pipe end alignment, rapid machining by dual, seven axis CNC
machines equipped with real time monitoring and the latest in safety features.
The equipment will be manned by Tri Tool’s experienced and highly skilled
technicians who are certified in its operation.
“We are excited to introduce our new OEM
technology, the extremely precise, highly productive CNC counterboring and safe
pipe handling system to enhance our other pipeline service offerings that
include: laser dimensioning, OD turning, coating removal and automated weld
profiling,” said, Pat Flippen, VP of Services at Tri Tool. “It is one of many
examples of our Engineering Department’s design/build expertise that allows us
to provide our customers with the premium result they have come to expect from
Tri Tool.”
