Auto Flipped Pipe Flange Seam Welding Machine

Auto Flipped Pipe Flange Seam Welding Machine

This equipment is a single-spindle horizontal TIG automatic welding machine specifically designed for circumferential welding of steel flanges. Unlike traditional welding equipment with a tailstock, this model retains only the main power spindle box and eliminates the tailstock structure.

Auto Flipped Pipe Flange Seam Welding Machine

 

product-3200-1920

 

I.Auto Flipped Pipe Flange Seam Welding Machine Main features

 

 

Features:

  • Excellent Welding Formation (TIG Process Advantages): No spatter, no slag, welds exhibit a silver-white or golden-yellow luster, especially suitable for stainless steel and alloy steel flanges.
  • Single-sided welding with double-sided forming is possible, providing excellent back-side protection.
  • High Precision and Consistency: Servo motors combined with precision reducers ensure rotational linear speed fluctuations of <3%, guaranteeing uniform weld penetration around the circumference.
  • Tilting and positioning accuracy reaches ±0.5°, facilitating welding of inner and outer corner welds on flanges.
  • Safe and Convenient Operation: The tilting mechanism features a mechanical lock to prevent accidental tipping during welding.
  • One-touch touchscreen recall of product models reduces reliance on skilled welders.

1. Tilting Spindle Box (Power Head):

  • Features a built-in high-precision worm gear reducer and servo motor.
  • The drive chuck drives the flange and pipe fittings to rotate in a circular motion (welding speed control) or to position and flip (position angle control).
  • Equipped with conductive slip rings to ensure a stable supply of welding current, shielding gas, and cooling water during rotation.

2. Welding head:

  • Two-dimensional adjustment bracket: fine-tunes the welding torch to align with the weld center.
  • The oscillating mechanism is mainly used to cover the flange bevel width by oscillating the arc left and right, ensuring uniform fusion and aesthetically pleasing weld formation on both sides.
  • The ceramic nozzle in the TIG welding torch serves to constrain and protect the argon gas flow, prevent oxidation in the welding area, and assist in arc focusing to improve weld quality.

3.A combined hydraulic and pneumatic drive system is used to automate the centering and clamping of workpieces (pipe flanges). The hydraulic system rotates the wrench and provides the high torque and holding force required for chuck clamping, ensuring the relative position of the flange and pipe is stable during welding. The pneumatic cylinder lift controls the engagement and disengagement of the chuck wrench, enabling automated switching between chuck tightening and loosening.

4.The entire welding head is integrated and mounted on a cross-shaped slide, which allows for precise translational adjustment of the welding head along the horizontal (X-axis) and vertical (Z-axis) and forward/backward (Y) directions. Through a servo drive and control system, the cross-shaped slide can move the welding head's centering position according to changes in the weld seam trajectory or workpiece position, and, in conjunction with a variable angle mechanism, ensures the welding torch is optimally aligned with different areas of the pipe-flange joint.
