Welding lathe features open naming convention for part welding parameter storage
- November 10, 2014
- Product Release
- Automation and Robotics
Mavrix Welding Automation Inc. has launched a new line of horizontal and vertical welding lathes featuring PLC-based controls. The straightforward terminology of the PLC helps reduce the learning curve so that operators are ready to weld in minutes. With adaptive spindle speed compensation, operators do not need to adjust wire feed speed or spindle speed to accommodate any change in diameter. Further, dual-axis step allows for any combination of surface angle.
The operator can develop programs by defining which axis will step or run when welding begins. The PLC features a 12-in. color HMI and open naming convention for part configuration storage.
The multiprocess lathe can perform sub-arc, open-arc, and gas-shielded welding processes using a single torch. An onboard second torch is ready for quick changeover for ID-bore welding down to 4 in. ID. Typical applications are in the remanufacture of slab caster rolls, shell rolls, zinc pot rolls, and mandrel bars.
The lathe is preconfigured for a variety of accessories: servo oscillator, water cooler with loss-of-flow sensing, pressurized flux delivery and recovery, and exhaust system integration.
