1) Unlike majority machines with single function which has working units installed at one site, MP series Plate Butt Joint Welding Machine has both sides of its gantry platform equipped with function units:
2) One side of the plate Flat Butt Welder is installed with triple cutting, and the other side is equipped with butt joint of melt through welding.
Layout drawing of MP series plate Flat Butt Welding Machine please see the 2nd sketch:
1) Length of Input and Output Conveyor: Considering lengthened length after plate joint, output conveyor of the plate Flat Butt Welder is 2 times longer than input conveyor: 15~18m versus 6~9m depending on customer demand. For the same reason, there is one segment of driving type at input conveyor, and two segments of driving type at output conveyor;
2) Butt Welding Side: The first photo was taken on main working side (Rear side) of the Plate Butt Joint Welding Machine: The plate Flat Butt Welder where butt welding work table situated, and butt welding torch complex assembled;
3) Foundation: The MP series Plate Joint Welding Machine does not need foundation to be prepared before put into operation. Instead, just secure its butt welding table/ Gantry Platform/ Input and Output Conveyors into workshop floor firmly with anchor bolts;
In vertical view of the 2nd illustration, besides main body of the MP series Plate Butt Joint Welding Machine, there are several important function mechanisms which are indispensable for normal running of the Flat Butt Welder:
a) The electric cabinet and corresponding operating panel, which stands on workshop ground right next to the gantry platform;
b) Hydraulic pump station, which is the power source on working of oil cylinders giving force to the pressing blocks for clamping workpieces. This unit are put together with control board of the plate Flat Butt Welding Machine;
c) Water tank: Which conserves circulating cooling water going all the way through the 2.5m long copper pads in MP25 plate Flat Butt Welder (Varies on valid working stroke of the corresponding model) and back to water tank, and enters into copper pads again --- Such moves in circles during the entire butt welding process of the MP series Plate Butt Joint Welding Machine. This water tank is also located alongside with the electric cabinet and pump station of the machine;
d) Butt Welding Power Supply and Flux Recovering Unit: Considering easy and convenience for operation, these two big and important function groups are put on the top of gantry platform, close to butt welding point of the Flat Butt Welder;
e) The control console of the butt welding power supply is installed on the traveling carriage, so that operator can make adjustment on welding parameters during working of the Plate Butt Joint Welding Machine, as shown in the 4th photo.
1) Wuxi JACK Patent Technology on Butt Welding: With the melt through technology, which means "Single side welding and double side forming", the raw materials of steel plates with original straight edge travel through the MP25 Flat Butt Welding Machine, first get its joint edges edge milled one by one, by means of the flame triple cutting, at the front side of gantry platform, as shown in the 3rd photo;
2) Then travel forward to the rear side of the gantry beam, for doing melt through butt welding in the Plate Joint Welding Machine, as shown in the first photo;
3) Management on working steps/ working logic of the Plate Joint Welding Machine is made with operating panel of the machine, as shown in the 5th photo; Management on parameters of the melt through butt welding is manipulated on control console of the welding power supply, as shown in the 4th photo;
a) For process technology of the plate Flat Butt Welder, please check product section of “MP20 Plate Butt Joint Welding Machine”;
b) For technical characteristics of the plate Flat Butt Welder, please product check section of “MP40 High Quality Flat Butt Welding Machine”;
c) For working requirement of the Flat Butt Welder, please product check section of “MP45 Automated Plate Joint Welding Machine”;
d) Finished quality of plate butt joint seam with melt through in the Flat Butt Welder, please check the 6th photo.
