EQUIPMENT DETAILS:
The TriPulse Cladding System is a PLC controlled horizontal cladding system that has the Tripulse software with data logging for each torch. The torch mount is a steel structure with precision guide ways to allow the torch carriage to move along while welding. The torch carriage has two hot wire gas tungsten arc torches with AVC linkage for each torch. The torch mount is secured to the machine cart that travels on a track to enter inside the part. The machine cart has some of the welding equipment mounted to it such as the wire feeders and wire spools. The part is rotated by turning rolls. The system has one driver turning roll assembly that is stationary and connected to the torch support base. The torch support base has a mating cut out that the torch mount drives into to steady and support itself while the torch carriage travels through the part during the welding process. The torch support base also has an end stop roller to prevent walking of the housing. The idler roller assembly is adjustable along a track for different lengths. The electrical enclosure and welding equipment is placed beside the machine for accessibility.
