Automatic Welding

 

      The automatic welding system is a gas- metal-arc system designed to make quality girth welds at high production rates. It can accommodate pipe sizes from 4 to 60 inches and wall thickness in excess of 1 inch. The system consists of three major components:
 
 

Pipe Facing Machines

Produce a narrow groove compound bevel to assure near perfect joint fit-up for every weld

 

Combination internal welder/line up clamp

Travels inside the pipe to align and clamp joint ends together, and then automatically welds the root bead from the inside

 

External Welding Machine

Make the outer girth weld. Travelling on steel bands fixed to the pipe, the machines accurately complete the weld in a series of passes. In addition, we have flux-core welding systems, pulsed-gas-metal-arc systems and mechanized TIG systems
