THE LEGACY CHALLENGE
Modern Vessels vs. Obsolete Machinery
The shipbuilding industry is moving toward larger modules and high-tensile steels (DH36/EH36). Legacy equipment designed 20 years ago lacks the precision to handle these materials without excessive manual rework.
WHY OLD METHODS FAIL
The Hidden Cost of Inefficiency
Technical Gap
Impact on Production
Oil Temperature Fluctuations
Oil Temperature Fluctuations
Angle Inconsistency:
Leads to assembly gaps in hull sections, requiring hundreds of hours of manual “fitting.”
Manual Weld Preparation
Traditional plasma cutting requires secondary grinding for bevels.
Bottlenecked Flow:
Welders spend 50% of their time preparing joints instead of performing structural welds.
Small Work Envelopes
Limited bed lengths force more plate joining.
Structural Risk:
Every unnecessary weld increases the risk of fatigue failure and triples inspection costs.
RECOMMENDED WEIYA EQUIPMENT
Technology Driven Solutions
WyBend C Series
The WyBend C series provides 700–6000 kN bending force for heavy-duty applications.Dual synchronized hydraulic cylinders ensure stable bending of thick plates up to 20 mm with ±0.01 mm repeatability and low noise.
WyRoll 4R Series
The WyRoll 4R series delivers high-precision plate rolling with zero straight edge (no pre-bending required) for carbon steel, stainless steel and aluminum plates up to 30mm thick. Featuring 4-roll hydraulic drive, CNC synchronization control and rigid frame design, this series achieves rolling accuracy of ±0.5mm and repeatability of ±0.1mm for cylindrical, conical and special-shaped workpieces.
