Robotically precise holes cut in pressure vessel heads for all metals! Single holes. Multiple holes. Bevelled holes. Whatever your needs, our engineers and programmers are ready to make it happen.

Cutting Holes in Pressure Vessel Heads

Pressure vessels sometimes require holes cut in the heads, on the top and/or the bottom. From military applications to your backyard barbecue tank, cutting holes in the heads must be absolutely precise.Holes allow access to the inside of vessels, for items such as man ways or nozzles.

Why Robotics?

Holes can be cut in pressure vessel heads manually, but that can be difficult and more costly. Plus, it can be a challenge to health and safety (confined spaces, sparks/lava, fumes, etc).At Conrex, we pride ourselves in our innovative approach and our investments in the newest technologies. That’s what our customers have come to expect. So, when it comes to putting holes in heads, robotics means faster production, finer accuracy, custom bevels, and less shop time resulting in quicker fabrication times.Unlike other shops, we boast an 8 axis system and can make multiple holes per head with bevels.We just need your details. The style, shape, angle, really anything you can imagine, we can achieve.
