General Purpose MP25 Plate Butt Joint Machine of Fully Penetration Welding

Structure Feature of MP Series Plate Flat Butt Welding Machine:

1) One Machine with Two Distinct Functions: Unlike majority machines with single function which has working units installed at one site, Wuxi JACK MP series Plate Butt Joint Welding Machine has both sides of its gantry platform equipped with function units:

2) One side of the plate Flat Butt Welder is installed with Oxygen fuel triple cutting, and the other side is equipped with butt joint of melt through welding:

Plates incoming side: Flame triple cutting on welding grooves: (Fig.1)

Plates Outgoing Side: SAW Butt Welding with Melt Thru technology: (Fig.2)

1. Layout of MP25 Plate Butt Joining Welding Machine:

Layout drawing of MP series plate Flat Butt Welding Machine please see below sketch: (Fig.3)

1) Length of Input and Output Conveyor Roller Tables:  Considering lengthened length after plate joint, output conveyor of this plate Flat Butt Welder machine is 2 times longer than input conveyor: 15 ~ 18m versus 6 ~ 9m depending on customer demand. For the same reason, there is one segment of driving type at input conveyor roller table, and two segments of driving type at output conveyor roller tables:

2) Main Units of the Machine:  The attached first photo was taken on main working lateral side of the Plate Butt Joint Welding Machine: From this photo we can identify: 

a) Butt welding work table situated and butt welding torch complex assembled;

b) The higher gantry frame behind the welding table;

c) Hydraulic pump station;

d) Electric control board;

Of the machine;

3) Foundation: This plate Flat Butt Welder machine does not need foundation to be prepared before put into operation. Instead, just secure its butt welding table/ Gantry Platform/ Input and Output Conveyors roller tables into workshop floor firmly with anchor bolts;

4)  Arrangement of Supporting Function Groups in Plate Flat Butt Welder Machine:

In vertical view of the machine layout design print, besides machine mechanical main body, there are several important function mechanisms which are indispensable for normal running of this Flat Butt Welder:

a) The electric cabinet and corresponding operating panel, which stands on workshop ground right next to the gantry platform;

b) Hydraulic pump station, which is the power source on working of oil cylinders giving force to the pressing blocks for clamping workpieces. This unit are put together with control board of the machine;

c) Water tank: Which conserves circulating cooling water going all the way through the 2.5m long copper pads in MP25 model machine (Varies on valid working stroke of the corresponding model) and back to water tank, and enters into copper pads again --- Such moves in circles during the entire butt welding process of the MP series Plate Butt Joint Welding Machine. This water tank is also located alongside with the electric cabinet and pump station of the machine:

Standing type large water tank, as part of circulating circuit on cooling water, supporting on large current SAW butt welding, which will generate fairly amount of heat in the machine: (Fig.5)

d) Butt Welding Power Supply and Welding Flux Recovering Unit: Considering easy and convenience for operation, these two big and important function groups are put on the top of gantry platform, close to butt welding point of the Flat Butt Welder machine:

At the top section of gantry frame: SAW machine and welding flux machine: (Fig.6)

e) The control console of the butt welding power supply is installed on the moving carriage of welding torch, so that operator can make adjustment on welding parameters before offical welding:

2.  General Operation Procedure of MP Series Plate Joint Welding Machine:

1)  Wuxi JACK Patent Technology on Butt Welding: With the melt through technology, which means "Single side welding and double side forming", the raw materials of steel plates with original straight edge travel through the MP25 model Flat Butt Welding Machine, first get its joint edges edge milled one by one, by means of the flame triple cutting, at the front side of gantry platform, as shown in the 4^th photo;

2)  Then travel forward to the rear side of the gantry beam, for doing melt through butt welding in the machine, as shown in the 2^nd photo;

3)  Management on working steps/ working logic of the machine is made with operating panel, as shown in the 5^th photo; Management on parameters of the melt through butt welding is manipulated on control console of the welding power supply, as shown in the 4^th photo:
