Two in One MP25 Plate Joint Welding Machine with Triple Cutting

1. The Two Main Functions of MP Series Plate Butt Welding Joint Machine:

Background: The Wuxi JACK MP25 model in the attached first photo was taken at its triple flame cutting side, in Russia customer workshop.

1) Functions: MP Series Plate Joint Butt Welding Machine has two major functions: 

a) One is primary task of melt through welding, for joint two pieces of metal plates:

b) The second is Oxygen fuel triple cutting as shown in the first photo, for making beveling on edges of the metal plates ahead of butt joint welding, to get ideal condition of welding seam formation:

2) One Machine Integrating Several Functions: This is one of the developing trends of manufacturing equipment in industry nowadays, that one set of machine integrates several functions originally of different equipment, for delivering the finished product. Another similar product is PHJ and ZHJ models H Beam Assembly Welding Straightening Machine. Such kind of design has benefits of cost effectiveness: Saving machine investment/ Operating cycle time/ Land occupation/ Removing Assistant Equipment, etc.

2.  Flame Triple Cutting in MP Series Plate Flat Butt Welder Machine:

1)  Working Way in the Plate Joint Butt Welding Machine:

a)  In Triple Plate Cutting Machine, gantry beam moves along rails, and metal plate is kept still on its cutting platform;

b) Here in MP series Plate Butt Joint Machine, gantry platform is fixed type, and flame triple cutting torch moves along its guiderail along its horizontal beam, in adjustable speed for flame triple cutting. The flame triple cutting speed can be adjusted with the turning knob and controlled by means of A.C, inverter, within the range of 100~ 800 mm/min.;

2) Flame Triple Cutting Speed Control in Plate Butt Welding Joint Machine:

a) Below photo shows operating panel of Wuxi JACK MP series Flat Butt Welder machine: (Fig.3)

b) Working Speed Management: You can find that there is a digital display and turning knob on the operating panel. In MP series machine, working speed of both flame triple cutting and melt through welding are all controlled with A.C. inverter (Two individual ones), shown in the same digital display and turned with the same turning knob. Because at any certain moment only one of functions work;

3) Motion Way in Sheet Metal Plate Butt Joint Machine:

Same as butt welding torch, the flame triple cutting torch have three dimensional degree of freedom:

a)  Motor drive up and down (constant speed) plus manual cross slide, based on thickness of metal plate;

b)  Motor drive leftward and rightward (A.C. speed control) along guiderail of gantry platform, for fulfilling beveling process in this Flat Butt Welder machine;

c)  Manual adjustment forward and backward, for adjusting on the flame triple cutting torch right above the cutting edge of metal plate;

4)  Routing of Gas Tube in Plate Butt Welding Joining Machine:

In this machine, there are three routings of gas tube for triple cutting: 

a) The blue color preheating oxygen; 

b) The blue color cutting oxygen; 

c) The red color cutting gas: Acetylene or Propane;

5) Flame Triple Cutting Effect: is shown in the attached six photo and below:

3. Melt through Welding in MP Series Plate Joint Butt Welding Machine:

1) Wuxi JACK Patent Melt Thru Welding Technology:  In MP series sheet metal steel plate Flat Butt Welder machine, butt joint on the metal plates is implemented with melt through welding, which means "One surface of plate welding, and both sides surfaces of plate welding seam formation in high quality". Welding torch system and copper pad welding seam please check 3^rd and 4^th photos respectively:

2) Welding Table:  In MP series Plate Butt Joint Machine, the V slot work table serves as workpiece (Sheet metal plates) fixture for pressing metal plates tightly by means of hydraulic cylinders drive, which are installed in horizontal orientation inside the two lateral covers:

The V slot welding table, and 2 lines of pressing block inside the V slot, for firmly fixing the 2 pieces of sheet metal plate: (Fig.6)

3) Supplementary Units on Butt Welding: On the butt joint melt through welding torch of the Flat Butt Welder machine, there are supporting units of:

a) SAW (Submerged arc welding) flux conveying tube;

b) Recycling tube;

c) Welding wire feeder and straightening unit:
