POLES PRODUCTION MACHINES
Automatic Single Shell Welding Machine
Automatic Single shell poles welding, starting from bended shells.
AUTOMATIC SINGLE SHELL WELDING MACHINE
OMM provide wide and flexible solutions by its latest single shell welding machine with continuous welding, high welding quality, high welding penetration, conical round & polygonal welded poles, straightened poles, that make this machine suitable for poles production plant with a wide range of poles production typology.
OMM’s single shell welding machine can easily be operated and carried thanks to its user-friendly interface. It’s produced with the latest production technologies able to guarantee the best results in term of poles welding.
It is used for steel poles production, it represents the solution for companies that want to produce poles (conical round & polygonal poles) with very wide range of poles typology and a very high quality, reduced poles handling time and high production rate.
OMM’s single shell welding machine process independently conical round & polygonal poles starting from the top diameter or from the bottom diameter, up to 650 mm diameter. This machine is suitable for being inserted in an automatic line, downstream of the presses.
This machine allows, starting from a bended trapezium, to weld the joint applying the correct force from the two horizontal sides and from the top in order to close the joint without any shape deformation. In order to do so, the machine, which is fully automatic, checks the value of the force applied and changes it in according to the mechanical resistance (diameter and thickness). By using this machine, it is possible to manage the position and pressure control of 5 axes in total, driven by hydraulic cylinders.
The welding machine allows to weld the joint also realising a complete penetration (100%) thanks the use of a device (“scarpetta/back welding support”) that supports the welding bath.
Tecnichal and main features
OMM’s single shell welding machine simultaneously with the welding phase, straights the poles without using fire, guaranteeing a maximum bending on the total length no more than 2 mm (i.e. L = 16 m, Thickness = 5 mm). The whole process is managed by only one operator for parameters setting (poles length, top and bottom diameter, thickness) and survey.
Making a good pole, straight and well welded, it’s the main issue in order to don’t waste time and money on the repairing station.
This machine as all our machines/systems has been designed and manufactured respecting all the norms, in term of safety and respecting the environment (noise, fumes aspiration, energy recovery back), given by the European Community:
• Complies with all applicable requirements of the machine directive 2006/42/EC
