LHZ Precise And Efficient Cross Slide Welding Manipulator with GMAW

1.     Automatic Welding Manipulator with GMAW:

The GMAW Welding Column Boom is a sub-group of Weld Manipulator which is equipped with gas shielded arc welding，including:

1)      Automatic Welding Column and Boom with CO₂ Welding;

2)      Welding Manipulator with MIG Welding;

3)      Weld Column and Boom with MAG Welding

2.     Technical Difference between SAW and GMAW Welding Column and Boom:

Compared with SAW (Submerged arc welding) Welding Manipulator, GMAW (Gas metal arc welding) or Gas Shielded welding features in:

1)     Small welding current, 350~500A compared with 1000/1500A in SAW;

2)     Flux cored welding wire, compared with solid wire in SAW Weld Manipulator;

3)     Thickness: Being applied for welding small thickness material, which is usually 12mm and less, compared with 12mm plus thickness in SAW Welding Column Boom;

4)     Material: Besides carbon steel, other common used materials can also be welded with GMAW: Stainless steel, Al, bronze, etc. This reminds us other welding equipment that is adopted with GMAW welding: such as Small Tank Longitudinal Welding Machine;

5)     Applicable Workpiece: Workpieces fitting for GMAW Weld Manipulator are usually “small and delicate”, compared with “Large and heavy” in SAW Welding Manipulator: (Fig.1)

6)     Welding Assistant Element: There is no welding flux recovery unit necessary in Automatic Welding Column and Boom with GMAW;

7)     Personnel Health: There is intense welding arc generated in the process of GMAW, especially CO₂ welding, which is harmful to people eyesight. So, operator of GMAW Weld Column and Boom should take purposed care to protect their eyes, including eye goggle and welding mask;

8)     Welding Precision: Due to the relatively small size of workpieces and “refined” materials, such as stainless steel/ Al, GMAW Welding Manipulator generally has higher demand on welding precision. The attached pictures show the high precision Welding Manipulator with GMAW used in a pharmaceutical factory, for the purpose of welding small stainless barrel;

9) Welding power supply used in LHZ GMAW Welding Column and Boom has several options. The 2 most often used are Chinese HUAYUAN NB-350/ 500, and Panasonic YD-500GL5. The attached pictures show the Panasonic YD-500GL5 equipped in GMAW high precision Weld Manipulator:  (Fig.2)

3.     GMAW Welding Power Supply Applied in Welding Manipulator:

1)      GMAW welding power supply are full digital units, with specialties of Function Extend software/ IoT module/ Process Technology Software package/ Communication Expand module/ RFID card/ iCloud system. Customers of LHZ automatic Welding Manipulator with GMAW can select these capabilities based on your practical condition;

2)      GMAW welding power supply has good welding performance on various metal materials;

3)      It can realize light splash and short circuit transfer under small welding current;

4)      With standard Root welding function, the power supply is applicable for Pipe Back Welding Machine, and large clearance welding;

5)      The extendable Deepen penetration arc function is suitable for large fusion penetration welding which is applied in Gantry Welding Machine, and or back welding on thick plate;

6)      GMAW welding power supply also has rich assortment of optional process technology software to be selected, which has satisfactory adaptability on special material and or special process technology. This makes the LHZ GMAW precise and efficient Welding Manipulator more powerful and versatile;

7)      The standard embedded IoT module and analogue communication interface and extendable digital interface can be used for automatic dedicated welding equipment and or robot welding.

4.     Complement on Configuration of LHZ GMAW Welding Column and Boom:

1)      The remaining welding components used in LHZ GMAW Weld Manipulator, including wire feeder, welding torch, welding consumables, also have various models and specifications to be selected, based on concrete application scenario of customers;

2)      Loading weight of GMAW Welding Column and Boom sees more light duty and medium duty than heavy duty Welding Manipulator, because of workpiece application range of GMAW (Comparatively “small” and “delicate”).
