Gantry Type Melt Thru MP35 Plate Butt Joint Welding Machine

What does look main frame of MP35 plate Flat Butt Welding Machine looks like? It is shown in the first photo.

A. What can MP35 Plate Butt Joint Weld Machine do for Customer?

1.  Model Implication: MP35 is middle model of MP series Plate Joint Welding Machine. “35” has the meaning of “3500mm”, which refers to the largest width of metal plates that can be joint welded with this Flat Butt Welding Machine;

2.  Usage: MP series Plate Flat Butt Welding Machine not only can be used for joint 2 or more pieces of unused plate into a larger one, but also for “Waster Utilization” purpose: Any smaller or shorter or narrower leftover materials from Strip Plate Cutting Machine can be butt joint welded in this Plate Flat Butt Welding Machine, into a bigger and longer plate for use.

B. How does MP Series Plate Butt Weld Joint Machine Work?

1. Working Unit of the Plate Butt Joint Weld Machine:

1) Mechanical Structure:  As its product name suggests, main body of the MP series Plate Joint Welding Machine has stationary gantry structure. The first photo was taken at butt welding side of the gantry platform. You can find there is a standing type welding work table of the plate Flat Butt Welding Machine, this is where fully penetration welding (Melt through butt welding) happens;

2) Working Bench of Plate Butt Joint Weld Machine: 

a) Height of the welding work table is fitting for operator observance, during working of the MP series Plate Butt Joint Weld Machine;

b) Lateral View: The welding work table has V type opening, through which, during melt-thru welding in the plate Flat Butt Welding Machine, the welding torch extends downward into the V type opening, and comes all the way down onto surface of the joint of the two metal plates;

2. Workpiece Secureness of the Plate Flat Butt Welding Machine:

1) Placement and Fixation of Plates:  The next question is, you may wonder, that where does the 2 pieces of metal plates locate, and how does its secured for welding, in this plate Flat Butt Welding Machine?

2) The Answer Lies in the Second Photo of the Plate Butt Joint Weld Machine: 

a) The unpainted left side of the welding work table (The attached first photo was on right side--- Just take the same reference for comparison), and also at closer distance;

b) Melt-Thru Welding: As well as the attached third photo, which reflects vividly SAW (Submerged arc welding) butt welding process in this Plate Joint Welding Machine: 

c) Pressing Block Array: There are 2 arrays of pressing blocks, which are distributed at internal sides of the welding work table, and arranged in the form of one one facing each other pair, at the interval of 300mm ~ 350mm;

d) Drive Way: These bronze blocks are hydraulic driven, performing the task of pressing the 2 pieces of metal plates for joint tightly, during work of the Plate Butt Weld Joint Machine;

3)  Workpiece Plate Fixing Style in Plate Butt Joint Weld Machine:

a) Each of the pressing block is driven with a piece of oil cylinder, which is horizontally installed inside the trapezoidal cross section full length covers of the work table;

b) In the first photo, you can identify the square fitting plates of these rows of oil cylinders, on the lateral external side of the full length covers;

c) Such kind of design for workpiece clamping in this Plate Flat Butt Welding Machine is somewhat similar to XBJ series Edge Milling Machine;

3.  Copper Pad Unit in Melt through Fully Penetration Welding in the Plate Flat Butt Welding Machine:

1) Water Cooling for SAW:  Copper pad plays key role in guaranteeing successful completion of butt welding in this Plate Joint Welding Machine. Its appearance please check the attached fourth photo. You can find there is a screw type through hole in each row of the copper pad. This is for coming thru cooling water hose;

2) Melt Thru SAW: In MP series plate Flat Butt Welding Machine, copper pad helps quick speed forceful forming of the melt through fully penetration welding seam, building up welding circuit together with earthing cables, and dissipating the large volume of heat generated in the process of large current butt welding;

3) Height Adjustable Copper Blocks: Considering different thickness of raw material (Metal plates for joint), in MP series Plate Flat Butt Welding Machine, the copper pads are in the form of upward elevation type, driven with a set of worm gear reducer.

4. Welding torch in the Plate Flat Butt Welding Machine:

Please check product section “MP40 High Quality Plate Flat Butt Welding Machine” for its introduction;
