Seam Welding Machine, Gantry Seam Automatic Welding System, Seam Welder

1. Production Description

The fixed height mandrel is incorporated into the machine base with provision to attach gas purge and water cooling capability if necessary, water cooling requires an in-house water supply or water chiller with pump. A replaceable copper backing bar is attached to the top of the mandrel. Retractable alignment mechanisms are provided for aligning the plate.
Machine equipped with aluminum clamping fingers for maximum conduction of heat away from weld and to prevent arc blow caused
by magnetization of the ram (optional replaceable copper tipped fingers tips are available). A stainless steel pressure support plate is
provided at the loading end of the machine to guard against machine magnetization.
Full-length precision custom side beam runs the full length of the machine. Side beam assembly is adjustable for aligning and leveling with mandrel and weld joint. The travel carriage is a rack and pinion design to provide positive travel. A cable carrier with supporting shelf is provided on rear of side beam to support and capture incoming cables and hoses to welding head.
Carriage over-travel limit switches and adjustable weld length limit switches are standard. The side beam with rack and pinion driven carriage and optional welding equipment can be arranged to allow for specified travel lengths.
Machine is freestanding and all controls are built into rear frame. Nema 4/12 enclosure, with circuit breakers. A remote pendant control is provided for operator convenience with 1-turn potentiometer, start/stop, forward/reverse, and auto/manual selector switch. Operation of pressure finger banks is individual and controlled by foot treadle. A microprocessor is used to control many welding wire functions, including speed control, start/stop delays, and wire retract distance. Standard controls include air pressure regulator.
