Summary: | Large steel structures like pipelines, bridges and offshore platforms are fabricated at fabrication yards to ease mobilization. The main components include the cylindrical steel pipes for bracings, support column, nodes etc. To join steel pipes at various angles, the edges need to be prepared accordingly. At the moment, most of these activities are done manually by plotting the profiles using drafting on papers and then transferring it to the steel pipe. Thus, methods to improve productivity rate are highly sought by fabricators or contractors. This project aims to develop a mechanical prototype to improve plotting and marking activities for profiling. |
