Half-Pipe Jacket Welding Machine for Reactors

haibao robot supplies automatic welding of half-pipe heating and cooling jackets on reactor vessels, with coordinated rotation, torch positioning and seam tracking options.

How the system works

The welding head follows the junction between the half-pipe jacket and the vessel wall. Coordinated vessel rotation and torch movement help maintain the welding path around the shell. Contact seam tracking can reduce the need for repeated manual torch adjustments as the joint position changes.

Configuration and selection data

Reference vessel diameter	800–3,000 mm
Reference shell section length	Below 2,500 mm
Reference shell thickness	3 mm and above
Joint	Half-pipe-to-shell fillet weld
Materials	Carbon steel and stainless steel
Process options	TIG or MIG/MAG, selected to the material and procedure

A half-pipe jacket welder welds the fitted jacket to the vessel; it is different from a half-pipe forming or winding machine. Gas composition, filler, travel speed and heat input must follow the qualified welding procedure.

Match the process to the workpiece

Material grade, wall thickness, joint design, fit-up and inspection requirements determine the welding package. TIG (GTAW), MIG/MAG (GMAW), plasma arc welding (PAW) and submerged arc welding (SAW) use different power sources, torches and consumables. Select the required process during application review; options listed on this page are not all included in one standard machine.

What is included in a proposal?

The proposed scope should identify the machine layout, fixtures, welding package, controls, workpiece handling and any tracking or shielding options. Confirm utilities, loading method, installation space and acceptance criteria before ordering. CAD images illustrate a configuration; actual equipment and accessories follow the agreed technical scope.

Request an application review

Send haibao robot a workpiece drawing, material grade, thickness, diameter or width, length and maximum weight. Include joint details, required output, preferred welding process and weld inspection criteria. Photos of your current loading and welding arrangement help us assess access and handling.
