| PIPELINER II WELD HEAD
MODEL 609A
The Pipeliner II is the first practical alternative to
manual welding of larger diameter and heavy wall pipes. It
produces the same weld quality as mechanized GTAW, but at 5 to 15 times the deposition rate. It
is ideal for orbital pipeline welding using GMAW/FCAW
processes. Used with the MPS4000 Power Source, the Pipeliner
weld Heads produce welds with robotic consistency and
precision. The Pipeliner is equally suitable for Fab Shop or
Site Use, and has a proven history of dependability and
productivity even in the harshest environments. The system is capable of producing
high-quality welds in all gravity positions - meeting ASME
IX and API 1104 code requirements.
The weld Head is mounted on the pipe by means of metal
Guide Rings which are available for all standard pipe sizes.
The weld Head mounts entirely on one side of the joint,
allowing use for pipe-to-fitting needs.
Flx-TrackŪ allows
long linear seam welds on flat or curved surfaces, such as
tanks and vessels, as well as ID, OD, and compound curvature
welds to be made. The track flexes to conform to different
diameters, and uses either vacuum or magnet attachment.
Mounting the Head on an oversize Guide Ring with adapter
feet allows use on CrMo and other alloys requiring preheat
Process:
GMAW/FCAW

Open arc. Entire Head rotates around pipe. Mounts on pipe
using guide rings
