On January 26, 2026, in Shanghai, Iraeta Energy Equipment Co., Ltd. presented an engineering demonstration featuring a prototype rolled ring with a diameter of 21.0294 meters, showcasing the practical manufacturing applications of ultra-large integral ring forgings.

As a manufacturer specializing in heavy-duty CNC gantry machines, Shuochao CNC Equipment Co., Ltd. was invited to attend the event and observe the latest developments in large-scale ring forging engineering and downstream machining requirements.

Cooperation Agreement for Large CNC Gantry Machines

During the event, Iraeta Energy Equipment and Shuochao CNC formally signed a cooperation agreement covering CNC gantry milling machines with travels ranging from 7 to 14 meters.

Under this agreement, Shuochao CNC will supply multiple large gantry machines to support the machining of ultra-large forged rings and heavy structural components, including milling and drilling operations required in energy equipment manufacturing.

Supporting the Growth of Large-Scale Energy Equipment Manufacturing

With the continued expansion of wind power, nuclear energy, petrochemical, and other heavy industrial sectors, the ability to machine ultra-large components reliably has become increasingly important for equipment manufacturers.

In response to these demands, Shuochao CNC has continued to optimize its 7 m, 8 m, 10 m, and 14 m class CNC gantry machines, accumulating engineering experience in the machining of large flanges, forged rings, tube sheets, and heavy structural components.

Looking ahead, Shuochao CNC will continue focusing on large-scale, heavy-duty, and customized CNC equipment to support advanced energy equipment manufacturing worldwide.
