This bespoke manufacturing system was designed, developed and manufactured by PWP Industrial for the purpose of welding a spigot into the end of a thin walled aluminium tube up to three metres long and diameters from 63mm to 104mm without melt through. Fronius’ aluminium MIG welding technology coupled with PWP Industrial’s innovation: result …a machine that has been in continuous production for over eight years! Innovations like quick-change watercooled jaws on a power chuck to hold the work, and a torch that automatically locates the weld seam regardless of the diameter of the work, as well as the solid, “old fashioned” machine structure to maintain physical relationships of the components make for the process robustness this machine produces.
