Model 15 Large-Diameter Pipe Weld Head

Product catalog summary

Specifications:
The document outlines the specifications for the Model 15 weld head, which is designed for GTAW welding. Key parameters include an AVC stroke of 1.75” (44 mm), torch oscillation stroke of 1” (25.4 mm), wire feed speed ranging from 5 to 200 lPM, and travel speeds from 0.1 to 20 RPM. Tungsten sizes available are 3/32”, 1/8”, or 5/32”, with filler wire sizes from 0.020” to 0.045”. The torch cross-seam steering range is 2.00” (50 mm), and the weight with the “A” torch is 18 lbs (8 kg). The equipment supports an OD range from 3” to flat and an ID range of 18” or larger, with a water-cooled, 300 A DC torch at 100% duty cycle.

Features:
The Model 15 includes features such as rotation, wire feed, automatic voltage control, cross-seam steering, and torch oscillation. It is adaptable with various configurations and accessories for specific applications. Standard torch features include cross-seam torch tilt, electrode-to-wire nozzle height adjustment, and a spring-loaded mount to prevent accidental breakage.

Benefits:
The Model 15 offers excellent visibility of filler wire position, supports wire sizes from 0.020” to 0.045”, and includes a water-cooled, 300 A torch. It allows for the addition of filler wire while welding in either direction and includes remote-controlled wire feed nozzle manipulators and a video system for remote operation.
