Pipe Welding Unit
 The modified submerged-arc welding automat of the type KA 1-UPP is designed for joining rolled sheets with a thickness of up to 40 mm to form pipe lengths and segments. The steerable automat is suited for processing cylindrical and conical components which are joined by using the parallel-wire technology.
When designing this pipe welding unit the focus was on optimising the application. Using the twin-wire technology guarantees an increased deposition rate and reduces production times. Due to modified power sources for high process stability even over long distances and standard shaft extensions on the carriage, the processing section is only limited by the length of the supply lines.
The consequent optimisation of the unit to suit conical and cylindrical pipe geometries makes it the ideal welding system for tower building. Due to the fully automated welding of inside seams high productivity can be achieved which reduces the working time by up to 30% compared to similar automats without steering function.
