WELDING EQUIPMENT


WIRE MESH WELDING EQUIPMENT

Welded reinforcement and masonry mesh, also known as construction mesh, is used for reinforcement of brickwork, foundation screed, plastering works. Besides, such grid is used for fencing of building objects, manufacturing of various pens, enclosures and cages in livestock industry and on poultry farms. In agricultural complexes, the welded mesh is used as a frame for greenhouses. Welded mesh can be used for reinforcement of reinforced concrete structures, monolithic slabs and coatings, monolithic belts, protective steel fences, reinforcement of existing overlaps during reconstruction, any other purposes where it is necessary to install fittings.

Specialized equipment is used in production of reinforcement base. The principle of its work is to weld parallel and intersecting at an angle of 90° wire strings with a diameter of 3 - 5 or 8 mm.

Brief description of mesh welding equipment

Previously cut off cross bars by the straightening machine are fed by the operator to the hopper of the cross bar feed module by means of a girder crane or hoist.

Longitudinal measuring bars are charged directly into the longitudinal bar feed module. This reduces the downtime of the welding machine by loading the bars in the feed position to the welding portal during the production of the previous mesh.

After the start command is given, the mesh starts welding on the welding portal. The mesh is then moved all the way through with the servo drive of the longitudinal module. The baling module stacks the mesh in a stack.

A straightening and cutting machine is required for the production of measuring bars.


Longitudinal bar feed module

The longitudinal bar loading module allows the loading of bars (maximum 60 pcs) and their feeding to the welding portal during the production of the previous mesh, thus reducing the downtime of the line, increasing the productivity on average by 1.5-2 times.

The longitudinal bar is inserted by the operator manually into the guide bushings. The longitudinal bars are moved to the welding portal by means of a carriage. Wire sensors make it possible to exclude the possibility of manufacturing defective wire mesh.


Accumulation unit

The equipment has 2 sets of wire feeders. The first set is driven by the motor, directing the longitudinal bars into the storage bin (maximum 60 longitudinal bars). The second set is driven by a servo-driven roller conveyor to transfer the longitudinal bars to the welding portal.



Welding portal with cross bar feed module

The welding portal is the main machine of the line. The maximum line capacity, the diameter of the bars to be welded, the geometric dimensions and the mesh design are determined by the characteristics of the welding portal.

The welding gantry is equipped with a cross bar feed module (with a 2 ton hopper), which is fed automatically during welding.

Cubic shaped electrodes made of special material (base - copper, reinforcement additives - TiC, TiO2) allow to increase their service life due to repeated use of faces.

The productivity of the welding portal of 60-80 cross bars per minute (depending on the diameter of the bar), welding speed is 0.5-1.2 seconds.

An air compressor is not included in the basic scope of delivery.



Control system

The welding equipment control system includes a Programmable Logic Controller and an operator panel with HMI interface. An integrated fault diagnosis system is available. Welding portal operating modes are controlled by a microcomputer using a thyristor converter.


Water cooling system (optional)

For efficient operation of the welding transformer it is necessary to use a water cooling system of the flowing or closed-loop type. The system consists of the following main components: frame, pump, radiator, control unit, water tank.

Wire unwinder (optional)

The wire unwinder is used when the initial workpiece for feeding longitudinal bars is wire in coils. Capacity - 60 pcs. The wire unwinder is equipped with a motor and a wire feed speed inverter.



Stacker (option)

The main task of the bundling and rolling module is to free the welding portal from the finished mesh. The baler is located directly below the longitudinal transport module, where the stack of mesh is formed. At the end of the production process, the next baler blade is lowered and stacked into a stack.

Roller conveyor length7 meters
Mesh interval:100×100 mm – 250×250 mm

Bonding speed:< 35 sec/stacking kit
Time to unload the finished product:15-20 sec.


Mesh longitudinal movement module (roller conveyor)

The module of longitudinal mesh movement through the welding portal, because of the use of servo drive, allows to produce mesh with variable pitch of cells. The spacing between the cross bars is set via the control panel and can be changed smoothly.

EQUIPMENT CHARACTERISTICS


Manual feeding of longitudinal wire

feeding of longitudinal wire

The main loading platform is a plug-in trolley, which includes fixed guide channels, to where the operator inserts longitudinal wires and rows of fixed locking clamps.

The cart is activated when the operator has finished loading the longitudinal wire. The locking clamps place longitudinal wire that has been loaded and moves it to the welding point. The welding machine automatically continues welding work.

Applicable wire diameter: 5 - 12 mm


WELDING MACHINE FOR MESH WELDING

WELDING MACHINE

In accordance with the welding step, the operator can adjust the upper cylinders and electrodes. Welding time and welding current are regulated and controlled by thyristors and a microcomputer timer for a more accurate electrode pitch and flawless use of electrode arrays. Water-cooled welding transformers are installed at the bottom of the welding machine and are connected to the holding electrode using flexible distribution cables, also cooled by water.



TRANSVERSE WIRE FEEDING

TRANSVERSE WIRE FEEDING

Transverse wire feeding is performed through a special automatic bar loading hopper, which is preloaded manually with the necessary number of straightened and cut wires. The automatic loading carriage for the transverse wire is equipped with a hopper for sorting, positioning and ejecting the wire.

Maximum drive load for the transverse wire: 2 ton


GRIPPING DEVICE FOR WELDED MESH

GRIPPING DEVICE FOR WELDED MESH

The device is equipped with a serve-motor and clamping handles that hang the mesh panel of the first row of transverse wire. Then the grippers pull the mesh for the remainder of one meter, based on the size of the transverse pitch.

Maximum step size: 3m at a time.



CONTROL SYSTEM

CONTROL SYSTEM

The equipment has a HMI interface that runs on a Windows system and based on a software logic controller (PLC). All parameters are set immediately on the panel. There is a system for diagnosing problems with displaying pictures to quickly eliminate and avoid excessively long stops of the machine. Feeding pushing and unloading of the longitudinal wire are driven by a servomotor with an inverter, while the welding machine itself is controlled by the S.C.R and microcomputer controller. The workflow is connected to the PLC and is displayed on the screen in a graphical form as well as fault notifications.

Trouble analysis:

  • Trouble with wire feed
  • Lack of wire
  • Error when unloading longitudinal bars
  • Error in pushing cross bars out
  • Failure to feed longitudinal bars forward
  • Lack of welding force during servo motor overload
  • Incorrect positioning
