2. Workpiece Type in Special Welding Equipment:
1) The working parts can be: Metal steel plate, cylinder body, small tube, large pipe, flange, pipe flange, structure members, etc.;
2) Especially for pipes/ tubes, there are many kinds of Pipe Welding Machine, fulfilling tasks of:
a) Pipe tack welding;
b) Pipe back welding;
c) Pipe surface finished welding;
3. Welding Seams Fabricated from Special Welding Machine:
It can be:
1) Either longitudinal welding seam:
Wuxi JACK special machine on large pipe longitudinal seam welding: (Fig.4)
2) Or circumferential welding seam:
Wuxi JACK special machine on pipe flange circumferential seam welding: (Fig.5)
3) Or one machine fulfilling the both types of seams:
Wuxi JACK special machine on small to medium pipe longitudinal and circumferential seam welding: (Fig.6)
4. Welding Technique Adopted:
This can be divided as for:
1) SAW (Submerged arc welding);
2) GMAW (Gas shielded CO2 welding);
3) TIG, MIG, Strap Cladding, etc.
5. Wuxi JACK Strength in Developing Welding Auxiliary Equipment and Special Welding Machine:
