3. Process automation
Automatic welding covers a wide range of degrees of automation. It can be a simple mechanization of torch feed, or a machine that automatically controls all parameters. Examples of automatic welding include :
sheet metal joining benches ;
machines for splicing ferrules: turners, jibs ;
orbital welding machines for joining tubes and pipes. The welding head rotates around the tube;
guns for welding tubes to exchanger tubesheets;
machines for continuous tube production from unwound strip.
3.1 Orbital welding
Orbital TIG welding is an automated process that enables tubes...
