Large Size Multi-function Cross Slides Welding Column And Boom

1.     The Scope of Large Size Welding Column and Boom:

1)      When the vertical stroke of boom equals to or exceeds 5000mm, which means the diameter of workpiece is 5000mm or plus, the corresponding Welding Manipulator belongs to Large Size Welding Manipulator;

2)      Same as DX series Beam End Face Milling Machine, the increasement on overall dimension and working stroke of the Weld Manipulator brings along challenge on design/ manufacture/ delivery of this Large Size Universal Welding Manipulator, as shown in attached and below photos: (Fig.1,2)

2.     Mechanical Features of Large Size Heavy duty Welding Manipulator:

1)      Integral Piece of Upright Column and Horizontal Boom, for Large Size Heavy duty Welding Column and Boom: (Fig.3)

Shown as above, to fully guarantee sufficient strength and integrity of the Large Size Welding Manipulator, its square cross section shape column and boom are integral parts, instead of pieced together;

2)      Cross Slides, Driving Motor, and Counterweight of the Large Size Welding Column and Boom: (Fig.4) 

a)       Shown as above, cross slides of heavy duty Weld Manipulator is different from Light duty Welding Manipulator, which is more sturdy;

b)      Motor is installed at bottom of column, instead of on the top, to reduce total height of the Welding Column and Boom, making the equipment more stable;

c)       Counterweight is connected with chain and sprocket, making balance of the entire set of Large Size Welding Manipulator;

3)      Long Range Traveling Rails for Large Size Heavy duty Welding Column and Boom:  (Fig.5)

Under majority conditions, Large Size Heavy duty Welding Manipulator is applied in the form of traveling type, to make fabrication on batch of tanks in a row, as shown in the above;

4)      Walking Passage Available for both Horizontal Boom and Vertical Column in Large Size Heavy duty Welding Manipulator:  (Fig.6)

Shown as above photo, the extensive reach of working scope of the Large Size Welding Manipulator needs working staff to get access to its components, assemblies, and parts with convenient and easy way.

3.     Applicable Welding Mode for Large Size Heavy duty Welding Column and Boom:

1)      In theory, all the welding modes can be equipped into Large Size Welding Manipulator: SAW (Submerged arc welding)/ GMAW (Gas metal arc welding)/ CO₂ gas shielded welding/ TIG/ MIG/ MAG/ ESW (Electroslag Welding)/ Strip Cladding...

2)      In practical conditions, because most majority of cylinders to be welded in Large Size Welding Column and Boom have features of: Large diameter, big thickness, and made of carbon steel, which is applicable for SAW, including specific modes of SAW back welding, SAW finished welding, and SAW strip cladding;

3)      For technical features, please check product section of “SAW Cross Slides Welding Column and Boom” (Fig.7).

4.     Other Fitting Working Modes in Large Size Heavy duty Multi-function Welding Manipulator:

1)      Cross slide Weld Manipulator is not confined to welding operation, but more available operation as well: Carbon arc gouging/ Grinding/ Polishing/ Painting/ Testing, etc. this makes the equipment Multi-function Welding Column and Boom;

2)      For this reason, when making inquiry on this universal welding manipulator, customer should denote the expected types of operating heads for your Multi-function Welding Column and Boom.

5.     Technical Requirements on Large Size Heavy duty Multi-function Welding Column and Boom:

1)      Positioning Precision: When it is necessary for the Multi-function Welding Manipulator to be worked in coordination with other welding equipment, (Welding positioner, welding rotator, welding robot, etc.), the welding positioning precision of this Large Size Heavy duty Welding Column and Boom should be stipulated and made clear;

2)      Communicating interface of Large Size Heavy duty Welding Column and Boom with Other Equipment: 

For smooth and effective communication between Welding Manipulator and remaining welding equipment, the communicating interface should be arranged in the electric control system of the machine;

3)      Video Monitor: To have full management on welding process, the Large Size Heavy duty Welding Manipulator had better be adopted with video monitor.
