With automatic pipe feeding system, servo-controlled transfer, automatic positioning, multi-head hydraulic grooving and automatic unloading capability, the XWEGWYC Series provides a high-output solution for mass production of grooved fire sprinkler pipes.

The standard configuration supports pipe lengths from 3m to 6m. Customized solutions are available for special production requirements, including pipe lengths below 3m or above 6m. The minimum customized pipe length can reach 600mm.

Description:

High-Efficiency Eight-Head Grooving Solution for Fire Sprinkler Pipe Production

The Double-Station 8-Head Automatic Pipe Grooving Machine is developed for fire sprinkler pipe manufacturers, steel pipe factories, MEP prefabrication workshops and industrial pipeline fabrication companies requiring the highest production efficiency and standardized groove processing.

Traditional pipe grooving production usually requires operators to process pipes individually, manually transfer materials and complete two-end groove processing through repeated handling.

The XWEGWYC Series integrates:

Automatic pipe loading
Servo-controlled pipe transfer
Eight-head hydraulic roll grooving
Automatic positioning
Automatic unloading

into one efficient automatic grooving system.

The machine processes four pipes simultaneously.

During operation:

Four pipes are positioned automatically
Four hydraulic grooving heads complete first-end grooving simultaneously
Servo transfer system moves pipes to the opposite station
Four hydraulic grooving heads complete second-end grooving simultaneously
Finished pipes are automatically transferred to the unloading area

One complete production cycle takes approximately 50 seconds, allowing four pipes to complete two-end groove processing within the same workflow.

This high-efficiency configuration is designed for large-scale fire sprinkler pipe fabrication where production capacity and consistency are critical.

Main Features
1. Eight-Head Structure for Four-Pipe Simultaneous Grooving,Designed for high-volume fire sprinkler pipe fabrication, the eight-head configuration maximizes production output while maintaining consistent groove quality.
The XWEGWYC Series is equipped with eight hydraulic grooving heads, arranged into four processing positions.

The working principle:

Four pipes are loaded onto the automatic feeding system
Pipes are positioned automatically
Four grooving heads complete first-end grooving simultaneously
Servo transfer system moves pipes to the opposite station
Four grooving heads complete second-end grooving simultaneously
Finished pipes are discharged automatically
Advantages:
Four pipes processed simultaneously
Automatic two-end groove processing
Reduced operator intervention
Higher production capacity
Consistent groove quality

Compared with traditional single-pipe grooving machines, the eight-head structure greatly improves production efficiency for high-volume fire sprinkler pipe manufacturing.

2. Automatic Two-End Pipe Grooving Process

The machine automatically completes both-end groove processing without manual pipe turning.

Working Process:
Raw pipes are placed onto the automatic loading rack
Feeding system transfers pipes into the grooving area
Four pipes are positioned automatically
First-end grooving is completed by four hydraulic heads
Servo transfer system moves pipes to the opposite side
Second-end grooving is completed automatically
Finished pipes are transferred to the unloading rack
Benefits:
No manual pipe rotation required
Reduced labor requirements
Improved production consistency
Suitable for continuous mass production

3. Servo-Controlled Pipe Transfer System

The servo-controlled transfer system automatically moves and positions pipes during production.

Features:
Accurate pipe positioning
Stable pipe movement
Reliable groove location
Smooth transfer between stations

The servo system ensures stable processing accuracy during continuous high-volume production.

4. Eight Hydraulic Grooving Heads with Unified Parameter Control

The machine is equipped with eight hydraulic grooving heads controlled by one unified parameter system.

Features:
Same groove parameters for all heads
Consistent groove dimensions
Stable processing quality
Suitable for standardized production

All grooving heads operate with the same settings to ensure uniform groove results for the same pipe specification.

5. Hydraulic Roll Grooving Performance

The hydraulic grooving system provides strong and stable forming force during pipe processing.

Advantages:
Stable groove forming
Uniform groove dimensions
Reliable processing quality
Suitable for continuous operation

Applicable materials:

Galvanized steel pipes
Carbon steel pipes
Stainless steel pipes

6. Touch Screen Parameter Setting

The operator can set groove depth and processing parameters through the PLC touch screen system.

Features:
Digital parameter adjustment
Easy operation
Fast production setup
Suitable for different pipe specifications

The system allows operators to adjust processing parameters according to different groove requirements.

7. Flexible Pipe Length Configuration

The standard machine supports:

Standard Pipe Length: 3m-6m

Customized solutions are available:

Pipe lengths below 3m
Pipe lengths above 6m
Customized transfer frame length

The minimum customized pipe length can reach:

600mm

(Short pipe production requires customized configuration.)
