The Specialized Automatic Welding Machine for Columns

Technical Parameter

Equipment Overview​

A column （in this article）is a component used to secure the motor in large wind turbines. It is formed by welding rectangular end plates to both ends of a square tube, creating an I-shaped structure.

Previously, manually welding the two square end plates to the square tube was not only inefficient and labor - intensive, but also carried poor working conditions and inconsistent quality. In response to these challenges in manual column production, the specialized automatic welding machine for columns was developed. It automates the welding of columns and reduces reliance on manual labor.

Operating Procedure​

•  After pressing the start button, the manipulator positions the end plates and square tubes at the welding station.

•  Pneumatic positioning and clamping are activated.

•  Welding begins. Following a pre - programmed routine, the CO₂ welding machine performs a 360 - degree circumferential weld on the rotating square tube and end plates.

•  After welding, pneumatic clamping is released, and the manipulator transfers the finished workpiece to the collection table. Once a certain quantity accumulates, the operator removes the workpieces for stacking.

During operation, the operator is only responsible for replenishing the end plates in the feeders, placing square tubes on the worktable, and removing the finished welded workpieces.
