Overview
The document describes a welding system designed for aerospace applications, specifically for welding elliptical flight refueling tanks used on fighter aircraft. The system utilizes GTAW (TIG) welding and features automatic clamping with a hydraulically-operated lock for securing the tailstock.
System Specifications
The system comprises three CW5 fixtures mounted on a common base with a track extending over the entire length. Each carriage carries a weld head with multi-axis slides to maintain the correct torch position. Automatic arc length control and cold wire feed facilities are integrated into each carriage.
Optional Items and Accessories
The document lists several optional components, including:
  • Arc Length Control: Jetline's Model 401 microprocessor-controlled unit for maintaining precise arc length, featuring touch retract facility and menu-driven software.
  • Cold and Hot Wire Feeders: Available for wire sizes from 0.020 to 3/32" (0.5 to 2.4 mm), with two and four drive roll varieties.
  • 9500 System Controller: A microprocessor-based system capable of controlling four welding parameters simultaneously, with storage for up to 25 weld programs.
  • Flexible Cable Carrier: For carrying supply hoses and cables along the track.
  • Mounting Brackets: A range of brackets with cross slides for adjusting torch position, including X, X-Y, X-Y-Z configurations.
  • Welding Gear: Integration with various welding processes, including GTA, Plasma, GMA, and submerged arc welding.

Circumferential Welders-1

Product Information Circumferential Welders Microprocessor Control Three Models For all Welding Processes Large Weight Capacities Operator Friendly Various Part Lengths Typical CWL-96 Circumferential Welding System Introduction Jetline offers a unique range of circumferential welding systems which have been designed for use with any arc welding process and for a multitude of industrial circumferential welding applications. All Jetline circumferential systems include a sturdy base unit, a powered headstock and a tailstock which can be moved along the bed to accommodate differing part lengths. A complete range of accessories and controls manufactured by Jetline Engineering complement the range of circumferential fixtures to permit them to be made into a fully integrated welding solution. The CW5 style is a heavy duty type with a standard weight carrying capacity of 5,000 lbs (2,250 kg). As an option, it can be supplied in a super duty version carrying up to 10,000 lbs (4,500 kg). Although the standard range carries parts up to 240" (6 m) long, there is virtually no limit to the maximum length to which this fixture can be manufactured. Standard Features All Jetline circumferential welding fixtures include a machined base. This permits the tailstock and the welding head to be easily relocated for different parts or for welding at a different position on the same part. Description All tailstocks are air-operated to apply a constant clamping pressure to the part throughout the welding cycle. There are three models of circumferential fixtures available: The rotation of the headstock on all systems is controlled by a Jetline 9640 microprocessor controller. This can provide closed loop control of the welding speed as well as control of the complete weld sequence. The CWB style is suitable for light duty work. It features an integrated welding head support column and is best suited for applications where the welding is carried out one weld at a time. This style consists of two models, the CWB2 has a maximum part load of 400 lbs (180 kg), the CWB5 has a maximum part load of 1,000 lbs (450 kg). The maximum part length for both models is 240" (6 m). The CWL style is suitable for medium duty applications. The head and tailstock part of the fixture is supplied with a separate track and carriage system. This makes it simple to carry multiple welding heads to carry out two or more welds at the same time. Optional powered carriages allow motorized linear movement. The circumferential unit has a weight carrying capacity of 2,000 lbs (900 kg) and can carry parts up to 240" (6 m) long. 15 Goodyear St, Irvine, California, 92618 Optional Items Cradle lifts are available on all models. The cradle lift assists in loading the part to the centerline of the machine. Cradle lifts are manufactured specifically to suit the diameter of the part to be welded. Expanding tooling can be provided to provide support and gas backing to the weld. This tooling is customized for the specific part diameter being welded and incorporates copper back up segments. A slide-away tailstock can be provided to be used in conjunction with the expanding tooling. It assists in the loading and unloading of the parts. U.S.A. • Tel: (949) 951-1515 • Fax: (949) 951-9237
