Welding Rotators
|
|
We manufacture high quality rotators which are being used with various processes such as SAW/ TIG/
MIG/ ARC/ etc., capacities upto 2000 Tons. Steel rollers or polyurathene lined rollers are provided as per application. For higher capacity rotators forged rollers are provided.
• Our Standard Rotators consists of drive and idler unit. The frame and roller brackets are fabricated with
heavy sections, relieved and precision machined.
• Overload disc to protect polyurethane roller.
• Steplessely variable surface speed from 75 to 1500 mm/min.or higher and controlled through AC
Variable frequency drives. For precision movement encoder feedbacks are provided on case basis.
• Forward/ reserve rotation and emergency stop facility on panel.
• Operator pendant with forward/ reverse inch or run speed variation and stop functions.
|
|

Welding of Pipes, API pipes, Boilers, Heat Exchangers, Pressure Vessels, Mounted
Vessels, LPG ullets, Barrels, Tanks etc. |
|
Advantages |
• An indispensable tool for shell fabrication shops.
• Attains exceptional quality circumferential joints on shells.

There Are Two Main Categorizes Of Rotators : |
|
|
|
The Self Centering Types :- Model 'SCR'- SERIES |
|
Construction of machine is similar to that of conventional type Rotators. However, Housing Brackets
are supported directly on the machine bed and are attached to the bed only with an L.H./ R.H. lead
Screw andnuts. When the leadScrew is rotated with the ratchet handle, the Roller Brackets move
simultaneously towards each other or away from each other. |
|
In this series there will be twin drive
arrangement. This type of design provides simultaneous and step less adjustment of the
Roller housings, and keep the job axis atways at the same position irrespective
of diameter setting. |
|
|
The Self Aligning Types :- Model 'SAR' - SERIES |
|
Self Aligning Rotators automatically adjust the Roller Housings to accept any job diameters within
specified diameter range. This type of machines are generally used to cope with the change in shell
diameter, job to job. The roller housings of this type of machine are hinged to the beds and open automatically when larger diameter job is introduced. In
this type of rotator. each roller bracket assembly has two separate roller assemblies,and thus
supports the job on wider area.The final drive is given to both the 2-sets of rollers of the Drive
Unit, provide better traction to the job. However,in this case a declutching arrangement is provided
to the top rollers,in order to protect the gear boxes, as when the job hits the top rollers first
while loading, there is a tendency of rotating the top rollers where as it is locked by the gear
boxes. |

Anti Drift System |
|
During C-seam welding of shell sections on rotators,axial movement of shell or shell
drifting invariably takes place.This drifting cannot be avoided. Reasons for this drifting could be geometrical inaccuracies of individual
shells.inaccuracies of drive unit and idler unit alignment,etc. Even if the drive unit and idler
units are aligned witheach otherinitially, duringshell loading,the algnment tends to get disturbed.
In lighter shells. this drifting can be stopped by positive stoppers. However in heavier shells. due
to axial drifting,tremendous pressure will get generated and this pressure will come on the
positive stopper, if provided, and will break it. Ideal solution is to prevent this happening, to
avoid creating such situation. This is achieved through anti-drifting arrangement. |
|
In this case
also, drifting will take place which cannot be avoided. But the movement will be restricted within
a band of "+ 1- 5 mm". Seam will keep floating forward and backward within this range. |
