At –163°C, every micron of precision becomes a lifeline. Discover how ADH empowers China’s LNG carriers to lead the world through intelligent manufacturing.

Recently, Xinhua Net released a heavyweight exclusive interview, offering an in-depth look at the construction base of LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) carriers—hailed as the “crown jewel of the shipbuilding industry.”

Designed specifically to transport LNG at –163°C, these colossal vessels rival aircraft carriers and luxury cruise ships in construction complexity. They embody not only China’s pursuit of energy security, but also a landmark leap from “following” to “leading” in advanced manufacturing.

Yet just as viewers were marveling at this feat of national engineering, sharp-eyed industry professionals spotted a familiar presence at 19 minutes and 08 seconds into the video…

The Highlight Moment at 19:08 — ADH Is Right There on Site!

As the camera sweeps across the shipyard’s highly automated workshop, one busy orange robotic arm immediately catches the eye.

That’s right—this is ADH’s automated press brake production line with robotic arm integration!

This intelligent system is built around ADH’s flagship Press Brake technology, seamlessly combined with robotics to handle complex, high-strength shipbuilding components.

Though the shot lasts only two seconds, it authentically captures ADH equipment operating on the front line of a national-level key project: precise, stable, and efficient.

Why Building a “Crown Jewel” Demands a Hardcore Partner Like ADH

Throughout the interview, project experts repeatedly emphasized two keywords: “safety” and “precision.”

Excerpt from the Xinhua Net Interview:

“LNG carriers transport cryogenic cargo at –163°C… If any structural issue arises, the risks are incalculable. Safety is therefore a fundamental bottom line.”

The unique nature of LNG carriers places almost uncompromising demands on the machining accuracy of every metal component. Even the slightest springback deviation can become a serious safety hazard under extreme cold—making advanced bending technology such as ADH’s CNC Press Brake an indispensable part of the process.

This is precisely why the shipyard chose ADH’s automated press brake cells:

• Unmatched precision control: For complex hull components, ADH press brake units leverage high-precision CNC systems to ensure every bend angle is exact, perfectly meeting stringent assembly standards. For manufacturers pursuing similar results, the fully integrated Press Brake Bending Cell offers a proven, scalable solution.
• Smart manufacturing through automation: As noted in the interview, shipbuilding is rapidly transitioning toward intelligent manufacturing. The ADH robotic system shown in the video enables fully unmanned operation—from loading and bending to unloading—dramatically boosting efficiency while eliminating human inconsistency and ensuring product uniformity.
• Rock-solid stability under long production cycles: Shipbuilding projects are lengthy and demanding. ADH equipment operates like a tireless steel warrior, running continuously and reliably on the shop floor to keep production firmly on track.

03 From “Made in China” to “Intelligently Made in China” — ADH Has Always Been There

At the conclusion of the interview, a shipbuilding expert reflected: “To evolve from a major shipbuilding nation into a true shipbuilding powerhouse, we need relentless innovation and a new generation of productivity defined by intelligent equipment.”

Those words perfectly echo ADH’s long-held conviction.

From conventional press brakes to fully integrated automated lines combining fiber laser cutting and robotic bending centers, ADH remains committed to delivering the most powerful “industrial mother machines” for high-end manufacturing.
