Introduction
For all arc welding processes, it is important that
the welding head be rigidly mounted over the part
to be welded to obtain the highest quality weld
results. Any vibration or instability of the weld head
mounting will have an effect upon the arc length
and produce inferior results.
The parts to be welded in the average work shop
vary in size and shape. The welding point varies
and it is therefore necessary to locate the welding
head accordingly. The welding head locator provides a universal solution as the boom can be lifted
and lowered on the mast and can be extended
or retracted as required by the geometry and size
of the part.
Further capability is provided by the use of a kingpin
base and a travel car, both of which extend the
area in which the system can operate.
Jetline weld head locators have been developed
to be strong enough to carry a complete submerged arc welding head with all the associated
wire and ux handling equipment without droop or
vibration. All Jetline weld head locators use case
hardened tracks. Because of this, their movement
is smooth and very precise, rendering them suitable
for use with the gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW)
process. They are even accurate enough for use
with a micro-plasma welding head.
All systems are supplied complete with powered
lift which has variable speed control. The standard
WHL-3C4X3K with kingpin base
model can be used for vertical welding purposes
if desired. Welding in the at position is achieved
by the use of the optional power movement of
the boom.
Description
The system consists of a crosshead which rides
up and down a vertically orientated mast. The
crosshead carries a boom which can extend out
horizontally from the mast.
The mast can be mounted to a xed base. The
base can be tted with a kingpin to permit rotary
swivelling of the mast. Either the xed or kingpin
base can be mounted on a travel car to carry the
weld head locator along a oor mounted track to
various points along a large part.
Mast
The mast is mounted vertically on the base and
consists of a heavy wall, rectangular box section
tube with machined ways for the tracks. On the
smallest model, the track is a case hardened veeway; on the larger models, the track consists of
case hardened and ground roundways. The stress
relieving and machining of the mast guarantees
precision vertical movement of the crosshead on
the mast.
