Product Information AUTOMATIC SEAM WELDERS High Volume Production Microprocessor Controlled GTAW or Plasma Welding Aligns Seam Automatically Minimum Skill Required Short Payback Time Introduction This exciting new range of longitudinal seam welders brings together Jetline's proven design of seam welding machines, advanced microprocessor control systems and a number of innovative electromechanical mechanisms. This development represents an important step forward in the techniques associated with the seam welding of cylindrical and other shaped parts and will be of particular interest to companies requiring high volume seam welding output coupled with minimal operator intervention. Jetline's established leadership in the field of precision joining of metals is brought to the design and manufacture of this new range of machines. All the tried and tested features of the standard Jetline seam welder are embodied in these automatic models. This provides the user not only with the ability to produce seam welded parts at a production rate previously considered impossible, but also with welds with the highest integrity and joint prole. Description The Jetline range of automatic seam welders is based upon standard products with the addition of a number of features to enhance the loading, aligning, clamping and welding of the part. Although designed primarily for the welding of cylinders, these seam welders can be used for other regular shapes. LWA-24 Automatic Seam Welder To speed up the loading and unloading process, automatic seam welders are usually manufactured without a mandrel latch and with a larger diameter mandrel than normal. For special applications, especially where it is necessary to accommodate smaller diameter parts, a mandrel latch is available. Benets To operate the machine, the operator simply pushes the preformed tube on to the mandrel, it is guided by guide rails on the side and below the mandrel. From this point, the operation is completely automatic, the alignment and closing of the weld seam is carried out using special airoperated devices working with the clamping ngers. This is followed by a fully automatic, preprogrammed weld cycle. During the weld cycle, the operator is free to load/unload a second seam welder or to prepare parts for the next operation. At the end of the weld cycle, the seam welder automatically releases the welded part and resets itself for the next cycle. The welding cycle is controlled by Jetline's versatile 9500 microprocessor controller. This is simple to use and can store up to 25 weld procedures. And, with our rmware option, unlimited procedures can be stored on a host computer. 15 Goodyear St, Irvine, California 92618 U.S.A. • Tel: (949) 951-1515 • Fax: (949) 951-9237

AUTOMATIC SEAM WELDERS The 9500 microprocessor controller uses closed loop control for all the main welding parameters to achieve consistently high standards of weld quality at all times. Jetline's automatic seam welders are designed with safety in mind and, following a short period of training, can normally be operated by semi-skilled personnel. Training is provided by Jetline technicians when the product is ready for acceptance. An important feature of Jetline automatic seam welders is the ability to rapidly change from one part size to another. This is achieved simply by changing three...
