Basic welding concept for sprinkler pipes
In order to produce these prefabricated tubes in a cost-effective way, AWL has developed three unique concepts which will meet your needs, depending on your requirements in flexibility, level of automation and of course output. All AWL concepts are based on standard proven building blocks, making them reliable, safe and fast to integrate into your production facilities. There is also the possibility to include pre-production processes like grinding and grooving.
Effective economic concept
This basic entry-level concept is a stand-alone welding machine based on welding a small mix of pipes with an average output.
Flexibility:
With the manufacturing of prefabricated pipes flexibility is important. Each building has its own special requirements. The machines of AWL are designed to work with different ranges of pipe diamaters and lengths, as well as with different sockets.
Ease of use:
AWL has integrated a HMI panel in the machine in which the operator only has to put in the requirements of the pipe like length, number of sockets, positions of sockets and number of pipes to produce a pipe with this characteristics.
Quality:
A leaking pipe can be a big problem. With the AWL machines the welds are done by a robot. This allows to do a weaving while welding, thus making a thicker weld seam. Optionally, the welding system can monitor the welding parameters. If one of the pre-established parameters is out of the defined values, this means that the socket just welded could have a fault. Our system automatically marks the sockets suspicious of having a welding error.
Reliability:
Robots are the most common solution for welding in many industries. By integrating commercial elements which have been proven in other industries, AWL brings the sprinkler segment state of the art equipment.
