Tube to Tube Welding Machine
WUXI ABK Tube to Tube Welding Machine offers advanced pipe joining solutions with GTAW/MIG hybrid welding and hot wire TIG technology. Featuring intelligent AVC control, ASME/EN certified performance, and 40% faster deposition rates, this welding machine ensures high-quality results for boiler, power plant, and industrial piping applications. The self-learning software further enhances welding precision and efficiency.
The tube to tube welding machine represents a breakthrough in pipe joining technology, integrating advanced welding processes, intelligent control systems, and adaptive software to deliver unmatched precision and efficiency. Below are the core innovations that set this tube welding system apart from conventional solutions.
1. Multi-Process Welding Capability for Enhanced Flexibility
This tube welding machine features a GTAW (TIG) / GMAW (MIG) hybrid system, allowing operators to switch between welding processes without equipment changes. The pulsed wave control technology reduces heat input by 30% compared to conventional welding, minimizing distortion while maintaining weld integrity. Additionally, the system is fully compliant with major boiler and pressure vessel codes, including ASME Section I, EN 12952, and EN 13445, ensuring reliable performance in critical applications.
2. Proprietary Hot Wire System for Superior Deposition Rates
The tube to tube welding machine incorporates a true sine-wave output system, eliminating magnetic arc blow for stable arc performance. Key benefits include:
-
Deposition rate increased by 40% compared to cold wire TIG welding
-
Travel speeds up to 25 cm/min, even in narrow-gap welds
-
Defect rate below 0.5% for lack-of-fusion incidents, ensuring high-quality welds
3. Intelligent Arc Voltage Control (AVC) for Precision Welding
To maintain optimal weld quality, the tube welding system utilizes real-time torch height adjustment with ±0.1mm precision. Its self-correcting algorithm automatically compensates for:
-
Tube ovality variations
-
Joint misalignment
-
Thermal distortion during welding
This ensures consistent penetration and reduces the need for manual intervention.
4. Adaptive Welding Software for Smart Process Optimization
The tube to tube welding machine is equipped with 200+ preset welding programs, optimized for various material types (P91, T22, 304H, etc.) and joint configurations (butt, socket, set-on). The self-learning function continuously improves welding parameters after every 10 welds, enhancing efficiency and reducing setup time.
By integrating these cutting-edge technologies, the tube welding machine delivers higher productivity, superior weld quality, and unmatched process flexibility, making it the ideal solution for boiler, power plant, and high-pressure piping applications.
