What is this Blog on Plate Butt Joint Welding Machine for?
1) Background: In July 2022, Wuxi JACK made delivery on a set of MP23 model Plate Butt Joining Machine for a Chinese customer, who is a renowned Hoisting Machinery Company in industry;
2) This is the 4th set of MP series Flat Butt Welding Machine delivered by Wuxi JACK for customers in the year of 2022;
3) MP series Plate Joint Welding Machine is the featured product of Wuxi JACK. Ever since we put the 1st set of this Flat Butt Welder machine tool into market in the year of 2011, it has gained positive recognition and warm welcome from customers both domestic and abroad;
4) Over the past decades, Wuxi JACK keeps on the tradition of “Continuous Improvement” on all products, including MP series machine tool for plate joint welding, based on feedback from customers, and years of accumulation;
5) Topics in This Blog on Fully Penetration Plate Butt Joint Welding Machine:
In this short blog, we will have a brief introduction on usage, strong points, steel plates Sspecifications, and compositions of this MP23:
Usage of MP23 model machine for plate fully penetration butt joint welding;
Strong Points of MP23 model machine of plate fully penetration butt joining;
Plates Specifications of MP23 model machine of fully penetration Flat Butt Welding;
Main Units of MP23 Machine of Fully Penetration Plate Joint Welding
1. Usage of MP23 Advanced HMI Control Melt Thru Fully Penetration Plate Butt Joint Welding Machine:
1) MP23 Fully Penetration Flat Butt Welder joints 2 pieces of steel plate in form of butt welding, by means of cutting edge welding technique of “Single face welding, and double faces forming”, short as “Melt Thru”;
2) The strength and intensity of joint seam of the finished joint plate is higher and stronger than that of the base metal, which means, the joint plate produced from MP series machine of plate butt joining, is stronger than a piece of integral plate;
3) The longer length of joint plate delivered from this machine of plate flat butt welding can be used for fabricating big dimension components/ sub-assemblies in large scale machinery, such as Hoist Crane, Derrick, Bridge, Port Machinery, etc.
2. Strong Points of MP23 Advanced HMI Control Melt Thru Fully Penetration Plate Butt Joining Machine:
1) User Friendly Operation of the Melt Thru Plate Joint Welding Machine:
a) The management and operation of this Flat Butt Welder is by means of HMI (Human machine interface) as below: (Fig.1)
b) The software of HMI is developed by Wuxi JACK engineering team. It is the dedicated interface for this product series of Flat Butt Welder, intuitive and user friendly to manage;
2) Superior and Consistent Welding Quality delivered from the Melt Thru Flat Butt Welder:
a) With the advanced and leading edge technology of melt thru, the joint seam delivered from this series of machine is superior, for acquiring task of melt thru plate joint welding:
b) Joint Seam on 8mm thickness plate from Wuxi JACK MP23 model machine, for getting plate melt thru butt joining : (Fig.2)
c) Joint Seam on 12mm thickness plate from Wuxi JACK MP23 model machine, for plate melt thru butt joint welding: (Fig.3)
3) Excellent Joint Effect of Long Length Finished Plates from the Plate Butt Joint Welding Machine:
a) To fully guaranteeing linearity along the up to 30m length of finished joint plate, there are 5 sets of aligning units deployed along the entire group of MP23 model machine of plate flat butt joint welding, 2 sets in the input conveyor, and 3 sets in the output conveyor;
b) In this way, the finished joint plate from the Flat Butt Welder machine is completely straight, without deflection or steps;
4) High Efficiency and Safe Plate Joining Operation of the Melt Thru Plate Butt Joining Machine:
a) Over Twofold Productivity: Benefiting from the technique of melt through, the butt welding joining of 2 pieces of small to medium thickness plate can be completed with one time welding on single face, thus doubling productivity of the machine, in the field of sheet metal plate flat butt welding;
b) Safe Job: The potential risk of bumping and jamming of heavy and sharp steel plate onto operator, during the 180° flipping of the steel plate can also be eliminated;
5) Lowering Running Cost of Plate Joining Job with this MP23 Plate Joint Welding Machine:
a) Overhead traveling crane is not necessary any more in the process;
b) Carbon gorge subsequent to the 1st side welding in traditional way of butt welding is also removed from this Flat Butt Welder machine.
3. The Specifications of Applicable Metal Plates to be Joined in MP23 Melt Thru Fully Penetration Flat Butt Welding Machine:
1) Width is in the range of 300mm to 2300 mm;
2) Thickness is from 8mm to 30mm;
3) Length of the finished joint plate from butt welding can be up to 30m;
4) Material of plates for butt joining can be carbon steel, stainless steel, or Al alloy;
5) No Beveling: When thickness of plates is in the range of 6~ 12mm, the plates can be flat joint in the machine directly, for plate butt joining operation;
6) Beveling Necessary: When thickness of plates is in the range of 12~ 30mm, the plates need to be edge beveled first, then have butt joining by means of SAW (Submerged arc welding) melt thru butt welding in Plate Butt Joint Welding Machine.
Postscript on MP23 Melt thru Fully Penetration Plate Butt Joint Welding Machine:
In Aug.2022, engineers and technicians of Wuxi JACK completed on site installation and commissioning of this advanced technique Melt thru Plate Butt Joining Machine at customer facility, and gained high approval from customer.
