Seam Tracker Arc Voltage Control Magnetic Arc Control TIG Wire Feed Automation Systems Orbital TIG Welding Weld Positioners BE-CO Pipe Rotation

 


 

Arc Voltage Control is used in these industries:

 
 
  • Tank, Cylinder and Pressure Vessel Fabrication
  • Beam and structural assemblies
  • Pipe and tubing fabrication
   

Stainless Tube Mill
Using three AVC-5 arc length control systems, two MA-40 magnetic arc pattern controls and two MP-4 probes, the TIG arc is compressed and oscillated to reduce arc drag and porosity. Increased penetration, consistent seam fusion and very high travel speeds were achieved using the first arc for preheating (oscillating the arc longitudinally) and the second arc for compressing the arc for full penetration welding.

 
 
 
AVC with Seam Tracking AVC with Seam Tracking
This system utilizes several components to track the edge of a large-diameter pipe. A magnetic oscillator and TIG wire feed system work together with an AVC for high-deposition multi-pass welding. A seam tracking system compensates for side-to-side irregularities.
 
 

 

Tube-to-Fitting Stainless Steel

Tube-to-Fitting Stainless Steel
The AVC system enables a two-pass weld consisting of a precise, low-voltage fusion root and then a second fill pass and cap at a higher amperage and voltage. Magnetic oscillation and wire feed were used only on the second pass.
