Special Made Gantry Frame Welding Machine for Lab Use

In this section we will introduce a gantry frame welding machine designed and produced for a famous overseas welding company of branch in China, which would be used in their welding laboratory for validating SAW (Submerged Arc welding) technique. So, it is a special made welding equipment for special use.

1. Request from Customer on the Special Made Welding Machine:

1)       This special made gantry welding machine should be capable of making independent running of welding head and its carriage;

2)       Welding mode is SAW (Submerged Arc welding);

3)       The entire set of special made welding machine should have good stability, high rigidity, flexible and convenient operation;

4)       The equipment can work steadily and reliably within the range of 150A~ 1300A within fluctuation tolerance of ±5%；

5)       This special made welding machinery should be equipped with workpiece worktable. The worktable is designed and made based on workpiece type.

   2. Main Units in the Special Made Welding Equipment:

    1)     The complete set of special purpose welding machinery is composed of mechanical machine body of gantry frame; SAW power supply, welding console, and wire feeder;

    2)     SAW Power Supply in the Special made welding equipment:

    a)  Main Parameters of the Gantry frame welding machine:

    b)  Main Function and Features of the Gantry frame welding machine:
