Precise welding automat BWA 1500

Purpose of this machine is working in precise light components production or rod materials welding. Precise construction and factory adjustment of parallelism within tolerance of <0,2mm enables the welding of small and precise parts. High-quality drive guarantees perfect smoothness and constant rotation speed. RCS 06 control system brings to operator perfect functions for full automation of rotary welding production process, machine also has controlled output for switching the welding source arc.

 

This is a special solution which is provided only as custom made. Due to the complexity of the whole system and its parts very thorough consultation of requirements is always necessary. The final technical solution and possible feasibility of the project is provided as special project solution and always exactly based to the parameters of the required products, specific applications or the customer production program.

 

 

  • BWA 1500 device is precise rotary automat with maximum turning diameter of 150mm and static load capacity up to 15kg optimized for detailed welding even with two torches. Dimension between the spindles (maximum product length) is 1500mm. With regards to the expected use of machine the speed range is set on higher range because welding of rather lighter products with smaller diameter is expected.

  • The machine is designed as completely enclosed device for complete separation the operator from the welding process with the recommendation to anchor the machine at the working place. The structure includes central beam which integrates main spindle with own drive and clamping elements. The tailstock which is optional element moves along the linear linning of the central beam. Basic structure of central beam also carries support providing stable platform for placing welding arm and the pneumatic clamping bezel block for clamping the product.

  • Tailstock can be fitted with own drive. In that case the drives of main spindle and tailstock are synchronized and solved as backlash-free. Stepper motor spins precise planetary gearbox with toothed belt.

  • Main spindle as well as tailstock spindle has standardized flanges with 28mm through hole with posibility of mounting 125mm universal chuck. However there is possibility to equip the machine with fully automated unattended clamping system which integrates pneumatic clamping elements of the main spindle and the tailstock spindle as special chucks with pneumatic jaws. These clamping elements for both spindles can be custom designed to meet the requirements of specific welding application.

  • Tailstock pressure is designed as linear with drawbar with precise mechanical adjustment of pressure force by nut and control lever or can be equipped with automated pneumatic pressure controlled by push button switch.

  • Central beam can be tilted manually in the range of 0 - 55°. The movement of the tilting is smooth using gearbox. Therefore is possible to set any position in order to optimize the welding process.

  • The machine is equipped with protective roller blind to separate operator from the welding process and with set of limit switches to define roller blind end and safety positions. Roller blind is controlled automatically by control system by switching the working cycle. Machine is also equipped with three-color light signaling device for simple indication of the production states in which the machine currently is. The machine can be transferred to the so-called service state.

  • The machine is equipped with powerful suction system for extracting welding fumes from the main box during welding. Inside the main box consoles for placing the welding sources and reduction valves for regulating the supplied shielding gas and compressed air to the pneumatic circuits of the machine are installed. Float flowmeters for shielding gases are also included.

  • Two-hand control device with integrated emergency stop switch is supplied with the machine to start the working cycle.

  • Welding arm is eqquiped with pneumatic stroke. At the end of the welding arm there is precise position support for up to two torches with backlash-free height adjustment in the range of +/- 15mm and the possibility of tilting the torches.

  • Significant simplification for the operator can be the equipment of the machine with special digital Remote Control Mighty Controller which increases the flexibility and variability of the basic machine.

  • Machine is controlled by excellent control system RCS 06 which provides all conceivable functions for rotary welding, including accelerations and decelerations of rotary movement, control of the welding source with separate programming and advanced functions of regulation of welding power. The possibility of saving programs and creating program compilations underline the sophistication of the control system.

  • The machine is designed for TIG welding.

WELDED PARTS

- The machine is a universal and sophisticated production unit with the ability to weld any of the industrial production within the dimensional and weight limits of the machine. It is possible to perform rotary circumferential welds, fillet welds in the PA / PB position thanks to the tilting tailstock (only in the case of some of the machines) and it is also possible to perform full-fledged longitudinal welds (only the machines with controlled X axis).

- Typical is the production of pressure and non-pressure tanks from all materials with all of the methods of arc welding with the exception of the SAW method. Thanks to the high overall accuracy the machine enables welding of machine parts, flanges, shafts, heat exchangers, tube sheets.

- The machine is able to work in a layered screw welding mode (only the some machines) on the surface of the cylinder and also on the surface of the plate by the spiral layered welding tilted to the 90° (only the machines equipped with the tilting tailstock). Spiral layered welding has interpolated rotation and torch movement - change spindle rotation speed depending on the current diameter. The special software also provides the possibility of welding individual layers of layered welds (it uses a controlled Z axis of the torch stroke). It is also possible to equip the machine with the controlled preheating system of the welded part with digital surface temperature measurement.

 

 

TIPS FOR BETTER USE

- An excellent addition is the sophisticated Mighty Controler remote control. It is a freely programmable device by which is possible to control all of the necessary machine functions directly during the welding.

- The control system of the machine is well developed, it provides on-line information about the current rotation speed and the current progress speed. Operating is done using the standard multi-layer MENU.

- Software compilations provide perfect possibilities for fully automated production composite of many different welds.

- Double Torch versions does not restrict the users in the production of technologically complex products and aplications. One method can be used for welding of the root of the weld, another one can be used for the covering layers.

- The tilting tailstock significantly expands the usability of the machine by position welding at angles of 0 - 90°.

- Digital cold wire feeders provide precise welding results in the widest range of applications.
