Introduction of Tong Changing Device

The welding time of the robot at the above-mentioned beat is the most sufficient without stopping. According to 8 hours per day and two operators, the output of two assemblies totals 32 sets per day. 

To increase the output: 
One robot is added to the three-axis positioner at the sleeve subassembly station and changed to double machine welding. At the same time, the embedded plate assembly+ sleeve assembly station also need to add two sets of L-type positioner and one set of robot. On a 8-hour day and three operators basis, the output of two assemblies totals 64 sets per day.

Technical Specification

Dezhou Embedded Plate and Sleeve Welding Scheme (13)

Built-in water-cooled welding gun

1) Each welding gun shall go through ternary measurement to ensure the dimensional accuracy;

2) The R part of welding gun is made by wet wax casting method, which will not be deformed due to high temperature generated by welding; 

3) Even if the welding gun collides with the workpiece and fixture during operation, the welding gun will not bend and no re-correction is required;

4) Improve the rectifier effect of shielding gas; 

5) The accuracy of single barrel is within 0.05; 

6) The picture is for reference only, and it’s subject to final choice.

Dual-axis L-type positioner

Positioner is special welding auxiliary equipment, which is suitable for welding displacement of rotary work, so as to obtain ideal machining position and welding speed. It can be used with manipulator and welding machine to form an automatic welding center, and can also be used for workpiece displacement during manual operation. Variable output with variable-frequency drive is adopted for workbench rotation, with high precision of speed regulation. Remote control box can realize remote operation of workbench, and can also be connected with manipulator and welding machine control system to realize linked operation. The welding positioner is generally composed of the rotary mechanism and turnover mechanism of the workbench. The workpiece fixed on the workbench can reach the required welding and assembly angle through lifting, turning and rotation of the workbench. The workbench rotates into variable frequency stepless speed regulation, which can obtain satisfactory welding speed.

Pictures are for reference only, and it’s subject to final design.

Three-axis horizontal rotary positioner

1) Three-axis horizontal rotary positioner is mainly composed of an integral fixed base, rotary spindle box and tail box, welding frame, servo motor and precision reducer, conductive mechanism, protective cover and electrical control system, etc.

2) By configuring different servo motors, the positioner can be operated remotely through the robot instructor or external operation box;

3) The required welding and assembly angle is achieved by turning the workpiece fixed on the workbench; 

4) The rotation of the workbench is controlled by a servo motor, which can achieve ideal welding speed; 

5) Pictures are for reference only, and it’s subject to final design;

Welding power supply

It is suitable for splicing, lapping, corner joint, tube plate butt joint, intersection line connection and other joint forms, and can realize all position welding. 

Safety and reliability 
The welding machine and wire feeder are equipped with over-current, over-voltage and over-temperature protection. They have passed the EMC and electrical performance test required by national standard GB/T 15579, and passed the 3C certification to ensure the reliability and safety in use.

Energy conservation and environmental protection
The gas detection time, advance gas supply time and lag gas supply time are adjustable to ensure the reasonable use of gas. When the welding machine is powered on, if it does not enter the welding state within 2 minutes (time adjustable), it will automatically enter the sleep state. Turn off the fan and reduce the energy consumption. 

The picture is for reference only, and it’s subject to final choice.

Welding power supply

Gun cleaning and silicone oil spraying device and wire cutting device 

1) Silicone oil spraying device of the gun cleaning station adopts double nozzle for cross spraying, so that silicone oil can reach the inner surface of welding torch nozzle better and ensure that the welding slag will not adhere to the nozzle. 

2) The gun cleaning and silicone oil spraying devices are designed at the same position, and the robot can complete the process of silicone oil spraying and gun cleaning with only one action.

3) In terms of control, the gun cleaning and silicone oil spraying device only needs a start signal, and it can be started according to the specified action sequence. 

4) The wire cutting device adopts the self-triggering structure of welding gun, which eliminates the need to use the solenoid valves to control it and simplifies the electrical larrangement.

5) The wire cutting device can be installed separately or installed on the gun cleaning and silicone oil spraying device to form an integrated device, which not only saves installation space, but also makes the arrangement and control of gas path very simple.
