Flexible complete processing of pipes for the highest demands – USC 21

The USC 21 from EMAG is a high-performance special-purpose machine for the precise machining of pipe ends and OCTG components. It reliably and flexibly handles the full range of API, GOST, integral and premium threads – with maximum production accuracy.

The USC 21 tube processing machine from EMAG was specifically developed for the demanding complete processing of OCTG tubes. It combines flexibility, precision and productivity at the highest level. Its machine body, made from high-quality polymer concrete (MINERALIT^® ) ensures maximum rigidity and optimal vibration damping. This enables consistently high dimensional accuracy and surface quality, even during heavy-duty machining processes.

EMAG USC 21 produces high-precision API, GOST integral and premium threads for demanding applications.

The USC 21 stands out with its unique machine design, featuring a direct-drive main spindle motor that delivers both high performance and maximum torque. The integrated direct drive technology also ensures maximum positioning accuracy during thread production.

The USC 21 features a modular design and is available in 2-axis, 4-axis and 6-axis versions. It flexibly covers all areas of application – from simple API standard threads to complex premium connections.

Two powerful, synchronized chucks (hydraulic, optionally mechanical or pneumatic) enable secure and precise workpiece clamping, while separate NC-controlled centering and support units provide additional stabilization of the tube.

Thanks to the ability to perform simultaneous machining with multiple tools (4- and 6-axis versions), productivity is noticeably increased and cycle times significantly reduced. This makes the USC 21 an ideal choice for production lines with high production capacity and demanding quality standards.
