Plate Going Through MP40 Automatic Flat Butt Welding Machine

1.  Usage of MP40 Plate Flat Joint Butt Welding Machine:

The mechanical gantry platform of MP40 Plate Joint Welding Machine in the first photo was taken at Wuxi JACK ready- to- ship area, after its installation, commissioning and painting:

1) Specification of Flat Butt Welder: The longest length of welding seam in MP40 is 4000mm, or 4m. So, it can be used for joint any two pieces of metal plates with its width ≦4000mm, or piece together any strip plates with length ≦4000mm;

2) Stength of Joint Plate: Do you have concern on strength of the joint plate from this Flat Butt Welder? --- Don’t worry, that technical specification of the MP-series Plate Joint Welding Machine gives stipulation, that the strength of joint plate from Wuxi JACK Plate Butt Joint Welding Machine has higher strength than its base metal. --- So, how to attain this target?

3)  Core Technique and Key Parameters: It is made with melt through welding technology, or one side welding two side forming: In MP series Plate Butt Joint Welding Machine, the large current (Usually 500~ 1000A for Submerged arc welding, and 350~ 500A for CO₂ welding) butt welding is implemented at top side of the metal plates; At the bottom side, there is close-arranged copper pads deployed, which forms a “bed” for welding flux, and prevent these welding flux from dropping down. Thus, welding seam of good fusion and large cover can be formed at both sides of metal plates, fulfilling task of plate joint in MP series Plate Butt Joint Welding Machine;

4) Plate Beveling for Welding Fusion:  To get perfect condition of plate joining, welding groove should be made, preceding the above mentioned melt through welding in this Flat Butt Welder. For this purpose, there is flame plate triple cutting torch at the feed in side of the gantry platform. Please check the 2^nd photo. It works in the same manner as dedicated Plate Flame Triple Cutting Machine.

2. Mechanical Gantry Platform of MP Series Plate Butt Joint Welding Machine:

Gantry platform is the backbone of the MP models Plate Flat Joint Butt Welding Machine, and connecting junction between input and output, as well as beveling and welding in this plate Flat Butt Welder. Please check the first photo on its appearance and structure. In MP series Plate Butt Joint Welding Machine, it has four functions:

1)  Sending Workpiece (Metal Plates) Forward in the Plate Butt Joint Welding Machine:

You can find there are black color transverse rollers at the lower section of the gantry, which has same height as input and output conveyor of the Plate Joint Welding Machine, and works as transition between input and output conveyors, building up workpiece passage in the plate Flat Butt Welder;

2) Supporting Function Units in the Plate Flat Joint Butt Welding Machine:

a) The top section of the mechanical gantry is a wide spread platform (In MP40 Plate Butt Joining Machine, the lateral width of the platform is 2,000mm);

b) Main function units of the plate Flat Butt Welder, including welding power supply/ Welding flux recycling mechanism, as well as cable drag chains of both sides (For butt welding and triple cutting in the Plate Joint Welding Machine), are all put on this platform;

3) Horizontal Transverse Movement of Butt Welding Torch System in the Plate Flat Butt Welder:

a)  Melt Thru Welding Carriage: As shown in the 3^rd photo. Traveling carriage of butt welding torch mechanism is installed at the rear top beam of the gantry platform of the Plate Joint Welding Machine, along the two pieces of precise guiderails, and transmitted with rack in the middle between the two parallel guiderails;

b) Function Elements Arrangement: The butt welding torch and its supporting units (Wire feeding spool/ Lifting motor/ Flux Conveying and Recycling tube) of the plate Flat Butt Welder is installed on this travelling carriage, deep down into the V slot welding table;

c) Working Speed: Movement in this direction carries out melt through welding in the Plate Butt Joint Welding Machine, which is controlled with A.C. inverter within the range of 200~ 1200 mm/min.;

d)  You can find from the first photo, that there are yellow color mechanical limit switches at both ends of torch traveling;

4) Horizontal Transverse Movement of Triple Cutting Torch System in the Plate Joint Welding Machine:

Please check the 4^th photo. This is similar to butt welding torch system as above-mentioned. The triple cutting system is installed at front top beam of the gantry platform;

5) For process technology of the plate Flat Butt Welder, please check product section of “MP25 Plate Butt Joint Welding Machine”; For main units of entire equipment, please check product section of “MP30 Plate Joint Welding Machine”; Finished butt welding seam please check the 5^th photo.
