MP30 Hydraulic Jacks And Water Cool Plate Butt Welding Machine

Working Site of MP Series Plate Butt Joint Welding Machine:

1) For this set of MP30 Plate Butt Joint Welding Machine at customer site shown in the first photo, it works in a Steel Structure facility；

2) We can see there is a set of CNC Strip Plate Cutting Machine at its right hand.

1.  When will this MP30 Plate Joint Welding Machine Applied and its Advantage:

1) In manufacturing, thick metal plates (6mm and above) usually have size of 2~5m width by 15m length, which needs to be pieced together to get larger and longer plates, especially in working field of Shipbuilding/ Bridge Construction/ Steel Structure, etc. MP series Plate Flat Butt Welding Machine is designed for such application;

2) There are many advantages with introduction of the plate Flat Butt Welding Machine, covering nearly all critical factors in lean production: People (Safety)/ Quality (Better welding output)/ Velocity (Higher productivity) and Cost (Less cycle time and hence less variable cost). Please check the previous product section of MP25 Plate Butt Welding Joint Machine on getting hint, as well as general working steps of this plate Flat Butt Welder.

2. Constructure, Main Frame, Input and Output Conveyor, Workpiece Holding Block of MP Series Plate Butt Joint Welding Machine:

The first photo may not give all round view on the plate Flat Butt Welder. So, we paste its general design sketch in the second photo. As you can check from it, one set of MP series Plate Joint Welding Machine can be divided into sections of:

(1) Mechanical main frame;

(2) Input and output conveyor;

(3) Function unit (Triple flame cutting and Butt Welding) ;

(4) Hydraulic system;

(5) Electric control System:

1)  Main Frame of the MP Series Plate Flat Butt Welding Machine:

a)  This is a stationary gantry type main body. Its incoming side is installed with optional triple cutting unit (The front side view in the first photo); Its outcoming side is fit with the melt thru butt welding group;

b)  Observing from inlet side, main frame of the MP series plate Flat Butt Welder looks like a set of Plate Triple Cutting Machine; Observing from outlet side, the machine body is somewhat similar to a that of the H Beam Gantry Welding Machine, but with many differences in workpiece type/ quantity of welding torch/ gantry style (stationary versus traveling type);

c) Checking from lateral side (In the second sketch) of the MP Plate Butt Joint Welding Machine, melt thru butt welding side is more complicated than triple cutting side:

 (1) There is V structure welding base composed of 2 pieces of trapezoidal brackets, with oil cylinders horizontally installed inside;

  (2) The SAW (Submerged arc welding) torch of the Plate Butt Welding Joint Machine and its supporting units are at the top of the V structure welding bench;

  (3) The motorized elevating type copper pads and its water cooling system at bottom. All these units are assembled together with perfect fitting into an integral part, fulfilling melt thru butt welding in the MP series Plate Flat Butt Welding Machine (Melt thru: Single face welding with double face completion);

2) Input and Output Conveyor of the Plate Joint Welding Machine:

a)  Standard length of the input and output conveyors at Plate Butt Joint Welding Machine: 6m for input conveyor; 15m for output conveyor;

b) Driving Segment: There is one driving segment for input conveyor, and two driving segments for input conveyor. The chains and sprockets are covered with striking visual bright yellow color housing for the purpose of safe operation on plate Flat Butt Welding Machine;

c) Special Design: Based on specific length of raw material plates and finished joint plate denoted from customer on the plate Flat Butt Welder, we can make special length in the this Plate Butt Joint Welding Machine;

3) Central Function unit --- Melt thru Butt Welding in the Plate Flat Butt Welding Machine:

Downward Pressing Blocks for Metal Plates:

a) Function: These blocks can be identified in the attached 3^rd and 4^th photos. In running of the Plate Butt Welding Joint Machine, it serves the same function as hydraulic jacks in Edge Milling Machine: To secure the metal plates firmly during working;

b) Plate Secure: In one set of MP series plate Flat Butt Welding Machine, there are 2 arrays of pressing blocks installed above the copper pads, for holding down the 2 plates against the copper pads during Melt thru of the Plate Butt Joint Welding Machine (One array of blocks holding one piece of plate respectively);

c) This pressing unit is hydraulic driven. Hydraulic pump station is put alongside the mechanical gantry frame of the Plate Joint Welding Machine.
