Having realized that they need an automated cutting solution for implementing those ambitious design and fabrication plans, Mastenergo purchased the HGG CNC Pipe Cutter ProCutter 600.

The structure for the Perm tower project, including all detailing of the weld geometry, was designed and detailed in Tekla Structures. Thanks to the cooperative HGG – Tekla software connection all parts were successfully exported to the HGG ProCAM framework, thus creating seamless integration with the HGG pipe cutting machine. Thanks to the various smart weld preparation techniques the ProCutter 600 applies, the quality of the cuts with a bevel was extremely high: “Compared to manual cutting the cuts coming out of the ProCutter 600 are way better. The cuts are cleaner and prepared for fast and easy welding.”, concludes Mr. Kuragin – a welder at Mastenergo with more than 40 years of experience.
