ALL TIME‘s PWC Automatic Pipe Welder with gear positioner for pipe clamping and rotation

The system is typically composed of a manipulator on a motorized carriage, a set of welding equipment, idlers on carriages, and a system control with a pendant, highlighted by a precision positioner for rotation as well as tilting in some cases.

A pipe welder features a gear positioner that controls rotation with the precision necessary to achieve accurate travel speeds during the welding process, regardless of pipe diameter. The gearbox of the positioner produces the required ratio and self-locking function to maintain the weight in the event of stoppage or failure. Such features are critical for high-precision welding processes, such as TIG, PAW, and full-penetration root-pass welding.

The gearbox and motor assembly are located inside the welded structure, with panel access for easy maintenance and service. A 3-jaw self-centering chuck uses hardened tips to ensure a good grip on pipes or fittings with various diameter capacities. The center of the chuck is aligned with the base track system and the idler for ease of setup and to ensure a proper welding position.
