The robotic tube cutting system developed by SMT Systemtechnik GmbH passed its first practical test as the computer controlled machining system was delivered midyear to the Polish shipyard Energomontaz Polnoc Gdynia (EPG). Specializing in ship repair and ship conversion, EPG shipyard in Gdynia has begun to expand its production profile to offshore and special steel products. On the robotic tube cutting system by SMT, pipes are mainly intended for the construction of offshore wind turbines to be processed.
