Weld thread and assembly by Kubes. This is a good example of a high volume assembly with numerous processes incorporated, used in locomotive under frame components.
A grooved and threaded pipe assembly by Kubes. Depending on the application, certain assemblies require zero-weld fabrication. This is a great example of an assembly that can be taken apart making it easy to perform maintenance on the parts.
Completed assemblies featuring pipe grooving by Kubes. We have the in-house capacity to Victaulic™ groove from 1 1/2″ up to 8″.
