| The fixed height mandrel is incorporated into the machine base with provision to attach gas purge and water cooling capability if necessary, water cooling requires an in-house water supply or water chiller with pump. A replaceable copper backing bar is attached to the top of the mandrel. Retractable alignment mechanisms are provided for aligning the plate . Machine equipped with aluminum clamping fingers for maximum conduction of heat away from weld and to prevent arc blow caused by magnetization of the ram (Optional replaceable copper tipped fingers tips are available). A stainless steel pressure support plate is provided at the loading end ofthe machine to guard against machine magnetization. Full-length precision custom side beam runs the full length ofthe machine. Side beam assembly is adjustable for aligning and leveling with mandrel and weld joint. The travel carriage is a rack and pinion design to provide positive travel. A cable carrier with supporting shelf is provided on rear of side beam to support and capture incoming cables and hoses to welding head. Carriage over-travel limit switches and adjustable weld length limit switches are standard. The side beam with rack and pinion driven carriage and optional welding equipment can be arranged to allow for specified travel lengths. Machine is freestanding and all controls are built into rearframe. Nema 4/12 Enclosure, with Circuit Breakers. A remote pendant control is provided for operator convenience with 1-Turn Potentiometer, Start/Stop, Forward/Reverse, and Auto/Manual SelectorSwitch. Operation of pressure finger banks is individual and controlled by foot treadle. A Microprocessor is used to control many welding wire functions, including speed control, start/stop delays, and wire retract distance. Standard controls include air pressure regulator.
