LWX-72Ultra-Precision Seam Welder Longitudinal seam welding is a process used to produce linear welds on a wide variety of parts. For many industrial applications it is necessary to form the material into a desired shape, e.g. a cylinder or rectangular tube, and then weld the abutting edges to form a rigid structure.The traditional method of doing this is to manually hold the edges in alignment, tack weld them and then complete the linear weld. This is done manually or by use of a simple carriage carrying the welding torch. This type of procedure is costly and time consuming for the following reasons: Holding the edges accurately in alignment is diffi cult for the full length of the part.Օ Tack welding takes time and leads to local defects in the area of the tack weld. There is little effective chilling of the weld joint area leading to distortion and oxidation of the weld and surrounding area.Օ Maintaining the dimensional accuracy of the part is diffi cult.Jetline longitudinal seam welders provide a solu-tion to these problems. They are designed for the straight line welding of all weldable materials in thicknesses varying from 0.005" (0.1 mm) to 3/8" (10 mm), thicker materials can be accommodated using Jetline's unique mandrel adjustment capa-
bility. They optimize the welding process, reduce welding costs and improve the quality of the weld.
All Jetline seam welders use "chill-shunt" tooling which absorbs and dissipates heat through the use of additional mass operating under pressure against the work piece in the weld zone.The longitudinal seam welder clamps the materi-als to be welded fi rmly in alignment giving uniform chill to the weld. It also provides the facility to move the welding equipment accurately along the weld seam. This produces a butt weld free of melt-through, burnbacks, extreme shrinkage or distortion.Jetline longitudinal seam welders feature the ulti-mate in ease-of-operation and accuracy. Modern, simplifi ed controls reduce operator fatigue. The shallow clamping structure design increases visibility and effi ciency.Jetline manufactures a standard range of seam welders for part lengths up to 240" (6 m), longer lengths are available on special order. The range includes the following models: External Style Internal Style
