摘要:
An endless-track type mobile climbing vehicle containing a suspension apparatus and tool manipulator to perform trackless, guide-free welding in all positions or other manufacturing tasks. The invention can conform to a wide range of surface irregularities while maintaining contact between the track and adhering members and uniformly distributing the climbing loads on the adhering members giving the system a high payload to weight ratio. The vehicle with tool manipulator provides all necessary tool motion and stabilizes tool motion for tasks with strict requirements such as welding. The invention allows an operator to supervise and control the weld process through a controller. The invention allows the operator to specify weld motion control parameters for five axes and provides closed loop motion control to track the settings input by the welding operator. The invention also provides closed-loop tracking control to maintain the position of the robot along the longitudinal weld seam.

Plasma cutter and welder units are provided for fabricating a pipe. The plasma cutter and welder unit include a support structure having a carriage rotatably supported thereon. A plasma cutter nozzle and a weld nozzle are mounted to the carriage. A drive mechanism adjusts positioning of the plasma cutter and weld nozzles through varying control by a controller during operation. Additionally, a bearing support is provided for cradling the pipe during fabrication. The bearing support includes a plurality of bearing plates. A wedge structure is secured to each of the bearing plates and to a fixture base to form a nest for receiving the pipe. An isolation pad is disposed between the wedge structure and the fixture base.

A welding apparatus is provided for carrying a welding gun across or past a surface for making welds. The apparatus may include one or more rolling components, such as wheels for example, that do not substantially plastically deform as a result of contacting or being in close proximity to recently completed welds or preheated joints and provide adequate traction to move the apparatus across or past the surface. A portion of the contact surface of the rolling component may be configured with a given surface roughness to provide sufficient traction.

An invention is provided which comprises a tandem welding carriage having at least two welding carriages coupled to each other. Each of the welding carriages having a base, rear wheel assemblies disposed at one end of the base, and welding attachment portions. The two welding carriages are coupled to each other using a coupling member, and each welding carriage is carrying an arc welding device and/or spool to allow for tandem arc welding.

A friction stir weld system for welding and weld repair has a base foundation unit connected to a hydraulically controlled elevation platform and a hydraulically adjustable pin tool. The base foundation unit may be fixably connected to a horizontal surface or may be connected to a mobile support in order to provide mobility to the friction stir welding system. The elevation platform may be utilized to raise and lower the adjustable pin tool about a particular axis. Additional components which may be necessary for the friction stir welding process include back plate tooling, fixturing and/or a roller mechanism.

An improved plasma arc welding arm method and apparatus for keyhole welding rotating workpieces has an arcuate gear track supporting a corresponding arcuate geared cart bearing a plasma arc welding torch prevents voids in keyhole weld starts and finishes. The gear track is mounted on a manipulator arm for positioning the welding torch in proximity to a rotating workpiece to be welded. The torch may be rotated on the cart and gear track in the same direction and at the same rotational speed as the workpiece.

The present disclosure provides a method of all-position plasma welding process for titanium alloy pipeline, which may be used for welding a titanium alloy pipeline made of TA2 or TC4, with a wall thickness of 3˜16 mm, and a pipe diameter of 108 mm or more. When the wall thickness is 3˜9 mm, a keyhole type technology may be used for one-time welding formation, and when the wall thickness is 9˜16 mm, grooving treatment needs to be performed for the pipeline, and the keyhole type technology is used for backing welding, and then filling welding and covering welding are performed using filler wire welding through a melt-in technology. The method includes following steps: S1: performing pre-welding treatment for the pipeline; S2: clamping the pipeline; S3: setting welding parameters; S4: starting the welding.

A friction stir welding apparatus includes: a rotating shaft, on which a thread for friction stirring is formed; and a drive unit rotatably supporting the rotating shaft. A rotating shoulder configured to rotate together with the rotating shaft to generate frictional heat between the rotating shoulder and back surfaces of workpieces is fixed to a distal end of the rotating shaft. The rotating shoulder is pushed against the back surfaces of the workpieces by a pushing mechanism. A stationary shoulder penetrated by the rotating shaft and configured to hold the workpieces in a sandwiching manner together with the rotating shoulder is non-rotatably mounted to the drive unit or a member connected to the drive unit.
