WELDLOGIC FDRMING & WELDING SOLUTIONS WELDING SOLUTIONS FOR ADVANCED MANUFACTURING Square Tank Manufacturing Line Sheet Metal De-Stacker, 5 Axis Specialized C.N.C. Plate Roll, Transfer Cart & Elevated Seam Welder with Catwalk Challenge: Our customer needed to manufacture a range of square tanks at a reduced price in both materials and labor content to compete with offshore tank manufactures. Solution: Weldlogic developed a specialized 5 axis CNC rolling system to form the square tanks with a 2” radius from a single sheet of S.S., eliminating 2 piece construction, 2 seam welds and lots of part handing. Additional savings were also found in a single sheet of Stainless vs 2 sheets of Stainless required in the past. Hydraulically Controlled Transfer Cart transports 500-lbs tanks from forming system to elevated seam welder. This system was designed to enable 1 man to produce up to 60+ tanks per 10 hour working day vs 3 men to produce 50 tanks in a 10 hour day.

WELDLOGIC FDRMING & WELDING SOLUTIONS WELDING SOLUTIONS FOR ADVANCED MANUFACTURING Sheet Metal De-Stacker Weldlogic engineers designed a de-stacker to enable material lengths of up to 144” length x up to 60” width with a vacuum lift and sheet transfer system. A PLC is provided to manage the system and vacuum lift and transfer program. This special engineered machine de-stacks the sheets from pallet without operator labor and delivers the sheet to the C.N.C. roller in feed table. The automatic De-Stacker accommodates a wide range of lengths and widths with sensors to determine which vacuum...

WELDLOGIC FDRMING & WELDING SOLUTIONS WELDING SOLUTIONS FOR ADVANCED MANUFACTURING Transfer Cart The transfer cart was designed and provided to move the full range of tanks from the roll forming system to the seam welding system. The cart had to accommodate tanks up to 500+ lbs and adjust to the proper seam height depending on the tank size. The cart was hydraulically driven on tracks to move the tanks to and from seam welder as well as the required up and down motion. A joy stick control was provided to move the cart in both required axis. PLS-72 Elevated Seam Welder with Catwalk Weldlogic...
