Compact Cladding Cell

PLC-controlled turnkey cladding system with TIP TIG hot wire — for ring grooves, tee joints, and weld overlay up to 1200 mm diameter.

Compact Cladding Cell

Overview

A fully automated weld overlay system built around TIP TIG hot wire. PLC-controlled with AVC, stepper-driven axes, and a 3500 kg turntable. Handles pipes, vessels, flanges, and valve bodies up to 1200 mm diameter and 2000 mm height. Optional laser tracking. All parameters adjustable on the fly from a hand-held pendant, with data logging and remote diagnostics.

Key Features

1
PLC Control with AVC

Fully automated welding with Arc Voltage Control, constant surface speed, and override of amps, wire feed speed, and table speed during welding. 50 internal programs, 2 GB compact flash storage, and multi-language HMI with metric/imperial switching.

2
Stepper-Driven 3-Axis Motion

X axis (1300 mm travel), Z axis (1300 mm travel), and oscillation axis (100 mm travel) — all stepper-controlled for precise, repeatable torch positioning. Real-time position measurement ensures accuracy on every pass.

3
3500 kg Turntable

1200 mm table with 3500 kg capacity, bore torch access at 110 mm, and constant surface speed control. Handles parts up to 1200 mm diameter and 2000 mm height. Optional slip ring for preheating.

4
Ring Grooves & Laser Tracking

Designed for ring groove welding, tee joints, X joints, and upper/lower minor bore applications. Optional laser tracking enables easy-to-use seam following without programming.
