Column & Boom Weld Head Manipulators

THE PROCESS APPROACH

Basic configuration that places all of the accessories at the fingertips of the operator for easy management of the welding process. (Shown in the photo are a single-arc weld head, a flux hopper, flux recuperator, digital speed indicator, motorized slides, weld controller and operator hand pendant.)

Alternatively, a mini-camera can be mounted to the weld head, allowing the operator to remotely monitor the welding vía an LCD monitor. The weld controls are placed at the work console allowing the operator to manage all functions. A secondary hand pendant with duplicated controls can be installed at the weld head to facilitate the pre-welding setup tasks (cut the wire, position the torch, set the seam-tracker, etc.).

Question : What factors increase or hinder your welding productivity?

Answer: Joint preparation, welding parameters, consumables used, Arc-on time, operator skill level, operator comfort, welding defects, pre and post welding operations, machine constrictions, maintenance stoppages, etc.

Understanding this, Lincoln Electric is offering fully welding manipulators using a complete solution approach.

Focusing first and foremost on the welding processes themselves, the manipulator and accessories have been developed in order to compliment the process. The result is a series of welding package solutions that provide the needed performance in order to meet, or exceed your productivty demands. So, whether your application involves the welding of carbon steels, stainless steels, low alloyed, or nickel based steels, in either of the Process, Power Generation, Offshore, or Heavy Fabrication industries, you can be assured that by choosing Lincoln, you are investing in a welding partner who has the right experience, and the right products to help you to be a world class fabricator.

aSeveral manipulator designs to choose from, according to machine stroke and welding application

a Stationary base and motorized base versions

Internal WeldIng HeadSmall-radius welding torch with reduced-stroke motorized slides, miniature flux hopper (pressure fed), seam-tracking, and mini-camera. Specially configured for reaching inside confined spaces. Controls are remotely mounted in an operator work-console.

MultI-process poWer sourcesNew Inverter technology does what all other powersources combined can do, and even more. Gives enhanced productivity for single and multiple-head applications, at lower energy costs.

Process data, production monitoring,and machine dioganostic software is available for retrieving information of completed welds.

JoInt FolloWIngMotorized cross-slides with manual joystick control facilitate the operator´s task of positioning the weld torch during welding.With the addition of a seam tracking probe, the corrective movements in either one or two axis can be automated. (Consult for application.)

aWell designed manipulators for superior performance

aOperator controls configured for operation near the weld head, or at the machine base

aTechnologically advanced welding equipment

aSingle-head and multi-head welding configurations

User-friendly weld controller, with digital displays and memory functions. Allows the operator to use a wide variety of welding procedures, and easily make consitent and quality welds ... day in and day out

consuMable WIre Mounts

Standard 25 Kg spools can be mounted at either the back end of the boom, or at the front end, near the weld head.100 Kg coils are available, depending on the model column & boom selected. (See chart on back page)

Flux HandlIng

Head-mounted unit recuperates unfused flux directly to flux hopper.A flux tank can be added to pressure feed new flux to the hopper, maintai-ning a full level always. A reservoir with internal heating elements can be modularly connected to the flux tank. Once the flux has reached tempera-ture, it can be transfered directly to the tank vía a butterfly valve.In place of the head-mounted unit, a turbine extractor with automatic filter-cleaning can be used to carry the flux back to the heater, where a magnetic filter can be incoporated to eliminate mill scale from the recuperated flux.

A versatile process that can be used for a wide range of single-pass and multi-pass applications.

single arc

A high-penetration / high-deposition process that is especially suited for making high-speed fillet welds, and overlap joints

twin arc

An even higher depositon-rate process for filling a joint quicker in fewer passes. Can also be used to obtain faster weld speeds for single-pass applications

tandem arc

The extremely high deposition rates obtainable using three arcs make this process the ultimate choice when welding thicker materials.

triple arc

As a recognized world leader in arc welding, Lincoln offers a variety of Submerged Arc processes that you can choose to best suit your applications. Being an innovator of welding products, we have dedicated much resources over the years developing practical ways to improve welding productivity to be applied in the workshop. Our welding know-how, our consumable product portfolio, and our technologically advanced welding equipment, together can help you the customer reach your objectives … to make quality welds at optimal welding costs.
