🔧 JCO Bending: A Fundamental Process for the Production of Longitudinally Welded Pipes 🔧
The JCO bending technique is particularly used in the production of pipes for the Oil & Gas sector due to its 🔄 flexibility and 🔍 precision. The process consists of three main phases:
1️⃣ Phase J: The sheet metal is partially bent on one side, forming a "J" shape.
2️⃣ Phase C: Next, it is bent along the other side, taking on a "C" shape, with the edges starting to align.
3️⃣ Phase O: Finally, a complete cylinder in the shape of an "O" is obtained, ready for welding.
🎯 Advantages of JCO Bending:
⚙️ Flexibility: Production of pipes with various diameters.
🎯 Precision: Optimal edge alignment for perfect welding.
🔄 Suitable for pipes with a diameter/thickness ratio of up to 9:1.
The machines from SOMO Produzione play a key role in this process, ensuring efficiency, quality, and exceptional ease of use, enhancing production efficiency and the quality of the final product. 🚀
