Double-Station 6-Head Automatic Pipe Grooving Machine | 2″-12″ Servo-Controlled Roll Grooving Equipment for Fire Sprinkler Pipe Fabrication

The machine covers pipe sizes from 2"-12", including:

XWLGWYC200: 2"-8"
XWLGWYC250: 2"-10"
XWLGWYC300: 2"-12"

(Customized tooling solutions are available for pipe sizes below 2".)

The six grooving heads are controlled by one unified parameter system and process the same pipe specification simultaneously to ensure consistent groove dimensions.

The machine supports Victaulic-Type roll groove dimensions commonly used in fire protection piping systems and customized groove requirements. Groove depth and processing parameters can be set through the touch screen control system according to different pipe specifications.

With automatic pipe feeding, servo-controlled transfer, automatic positioning and multi-head hydraulic grooving technology, the XWLGWYC Series provides an efficient solution for large-volume fire sprinkler pipe fabrication.

The standard configuration supports pipe lengths from 3m to 6m. Customized solutions are available for special production requirements, including short pipe processing from 600mm and extended pipe lengths beyond 6m.

Description:
High-Efficiency Six-Head Automatic Double-End Grooving Solution for Fire Sprinkler Pipe Fabrication

The Double-Station 6-Head Automatic Pipe Grooving Machine is developed for fire sprinkler pipe manufacturers, steel pipe factories, MEP prefabrication workshops and industrial pipeline fabrication companies requiring higher production capacity and standardized groove processing.

Traditional pipe grooving production usually requires operators to process pipes individually, manually transfer pipes and complete both-end grooving through repeated handling operations.

The XWLGWYC Series integrates:

Automatic pipe feeding
Servo-controlled pipe transfer
Six-head hydraulic roll grooving
Automatic positioning
Automatic unloading capability

into one efficient production system.

The machine processes three pipes simultaneously.

During operation:

Three pipes complete first-end grooving at the same time
Servo transfer system automatically moves and positions the pipes
Three pipes complete second-end grooving simultaneously

One complete production cycle takes approximately 50 seconds, allowing three pipes to complete both-end grooving within the same workflow.

This design greatly improves production capacity while maintaining stable groove quality for large-scale fire sprinkler pipe fabrication.

Main Features
1. Six-Head Structure for Three-Pipe Simultaneous Grooving

The XWLGWYC Series is equipped with six hydraulic grooving heads, arranged as three processing positions.

The working principle:

Three pipes are loaded and positioned automatically
Three hydraulic grooving heads complete first-end grooving on three pipes at the same time.
Servo transfer system moves the pipes to the opposite station
Three hydraulic heads complete second-end grooving simultaneously
Finished pipes are transferred to the unloading area
Advantages:
Three pipes processed simultaneously
Automatic both-end grooving
Reduced manual handling
Higher production efficiency
Consistent groove quality

Compared with traditional single-pipe grooving machines, the six-head structure provides significantly higher output for continuous pipe fabrication.

2. Automatic Both-End Pipe Grooving Process

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

Working Process:
Pipes are placed onto the automatic feeding rack
Feeding system transfers pipes into the processing area
Three pipes are positioned automatically
First-end grooving is completed simultaneously
Servo system transfers pipes to the opposite grooving station
Second-end grooving is completed automatically
Finished pipes move to the unloading area
Benefits:
No manual pipe rotation required
Reduced operator workload
Improved production consistency
Suitable for continuous production

3. Servo-Controlled Pipe Transfer System

The servo-driven transfer system automatically moves and positions pipes during the grooving process.

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

The servo-controlled movement ensures consistent processing accuracy during high-volume production.

4. Six Hydraulic Grooving Heads with Unified Parameter Control

The machine is equipped with six 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 mass 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 system provides strong and stable forming force during the grooving process.

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 setting
Easy operation
Fast adjustment
Suitable for different pipe specifications

The system allows operators to adjust production parameters according to different project requirements.

7. Flexible Pipe Length Configuration

The standard machine supports:

Standard Pipe Length: 3m-6m

Customized solutions are available:

Short pipe processing from 600mm
Pipe lengths beyond 6m
Customized machine layout

Short pipe production requires customized configuration according to customer requirements.
