Orion could no longer compromise on the accuracy and quality of the oil rig structures. The Texas-based company purchased the MPC 450 | 1200, HGG’s multi-profile cutting machine for pipes, square tube and flat bars. The MPC software helped Orion optimize their fitting and minimize welding volume. Unique algorithms are used to create smooth cross-overs between surfaces. E.g. the cross over from the four surfaces of a box section are extrapolated in order to create a smooth weld transition on the four no. radii.

Thanks to the smooth weld details and perfect fit length provided by HGG’s MPC 450 | 1200 pipe and tube cutting machine, Orion Drilling no longer needs to outsource to fabricators and their welders now do only what they are really good at – fitting and welding.
