Using a chain welding machine for making heavy-duty chains is a pretty straightforward process. However, it is not so simple when it comes to the type of machines used to weld chains. There are several types of chain welding machines, each suited for a different type of chain.
Roller link chain and Drive chain Form:
The heavy-duty roller link and drive chains are welded using specific machines. These machines are tailored and can adjust to size links. The First type of machine to weld drive and roller link chains is the automated Rotary Disc machines.
Robotic welding:
Robotic welding is a very flexible method. It can be used to make different-sized chains with various shapes. The machines use a programmed robot arm that has a welding gun attached to it. This machine is very precise when it comes to the welding. It can strike in the exact location needed with the optimal amount of heat required. The machine also has the ability to change the welding speed to match various chain sizes. This helps to give a strong and smooth weld.
Heavy duty link chain welding machine:
Specialized link chain welding machines are available to handle specific types and sizes of chains. They ensure a consistent and uniform weld along the joints. These machines are designed to cater for the unique requirements of particular link shapes and dimensions.
Laser chain welding machine:
Laser welding is based on using focused light beams to create heat. This heat will cause links to fuse together. Laser chain welding machines are very efficient and are known for accuracy. They create precise welds to link chains, especially when working with delicate and intricate chain designs. These machines are very easy to control and make it possible to get a high level of precision.
Multi-spot chain welding machine:
Multi-spot welding machines create welds at various points along the chain in a single operation. This facilitates increased production rates as well as improved chain strength and durability. Besides, they offer better accuracy and control than conventional machines. This helps to ensure that the chain is properly made and long-lasting.
Specifications for a chain-link welding machine are based on its type and the features that each type has. The machine's power requirement is around 3-5 kW for low to medium power, which is sufficient for running the machine without any interruptions. The voltage varies from 220 V single-phase to 380 V three-phase. The frequency will be around 50 Hz. In terms of size, these machines are small and compact, occupying anything from 0.5 to 2 square meters of floor space. The commuting speed of the machine is up to 20 meters per minute, and the welding speed can be anywhere from 2 to 10 pulses per second. The air pressure and gas flow requirements are up to 5 bar or 0.5 M3 per unit.
In terms of maintenance, it is important to maintain the machine so that it works for a long time without breaking down. Generally cleaning the machine and removing any rust or paint is the first step in maintenance. The power source is then disconnected, and any removable parts are looked at closely. If there are any worn-out cables, they should be replaced, and the machine should be lubricated at welding points, hinges, and moving parts. The machine manual should be referred to for any specific instructions regarding clean, repairs, or lubrication to ensure bespoke-thinking maintenance for the machine. Regular servicing by an expert is also a good idea.
The machine is multifunctional and can be used in various industry applications.
Welding chains in the automotive sector
Automotive manufacturing uses the welding link machine when constructing chain parts, such as transmission systems. The machine joins links securely to support the weight of the vehicles.
Building infrastructure
In the construction industry, the machine helps to create strong, secure links when building infrastructures like roller gates, lifters, or fencing. The secure links enhance secure lifting and load capacity.
Aerospace engineering industry
This highly-specialized industry uses a chain link welding machine to make durable and lightweight links used in aerospace products like security parts. This engineering also requires quality control to meet industry standards.
Marine engineering applications
Marine applications use the machine to weld chains used in ships and submarines. The machine creates links that can withstand harsh marine environments and won't break easily.
Medical devices manufacturing
Some medical devices require chain links. The welding machine is used to create links for medical devices like surgical instruments and catheters. The secure links support the device's functionality.
Lumber industry
In the lumber industry, operators use the machine to make chains for saw mills. The chains assist in securely cutting timber with precision.
Farming equipment
In agriculture, the welding machine is used to create chains for farm equipment like tractors and harvesters. Durable and secure links enhance farming operations efficiency.
Several factors must be considered before purchasing welding machines to make sure they will meet particular requirements. The first important factor to consider is the supply voltage. It needs to be established whether the machine will be used on AC or DC and if it requires a single- or three-phase supply. Domestic supplies are usually AC and single-phase, while industrial supplies are usually DC and three-phase.
The type of metal to be joined is also an important factor to consider. A chain link spot welding machine is ideal for welding metals with thin sections, while interlaser machines work well for non-ferrous metals with low conductivity, such as copper and brass. Transformer-based secondary circuit spot welding machines are better suited for thicker metals.
The environmental conditions also need to be considered. Chain welding machines, such as the chain link spot welding machine, are better suited for outdoor use, where protection from the elements is required because they are AC rather than DC. The location of the welding work plays an important role in determining whether machine operators can move the machine or not. If in a remote indoor area, but far from the power source, a portable welding machine with a generator will be required. Manual machines allow operators to turn pieces, but automated ones run on a conveyor belt without further assistance.
The thickness and type of material that needs to be welded are also very important. The choice of chain welding machines changes according to these factors. The frequency at which the material needs to be welded affects the kind of welding machine required. The more often welding is done, the more power and capacity are required to weld efficiently.
Q1: What are the production capabilities of a chain welding machine?
A1: The production capabilities vary depending on the machine model, setup, and chain specifications. Some automated machines can produce thousands of welded links per hour.
Q2: What are the nearest chain welding machines in size?
A2: Chain welding machines are usually classified according to their welding methods, such as resistance, laser, or electric. They may also be distinguished by their capacity and features.
Q3: What are the main components of a chain welding machine?
A3: The principal parts of a chain welding machine vary according to the predominant type of welding it employs. However, there are several common features, such as a welder, a positioner, a control system, and a cooling system.
Q4: How does a chain welding machine work?
A4: The operation of a chain welding machine varies according to its kind and model. Generally speaking, the link chains are arranged, then the two ends of the chains are heated and pressed together using different welding techniques, which fuse them together. Finally, the newly formed links are cooled.
