Vertical weld overlay / cladding

Installations designed for cladding in a vertical position (2G) are usually dedicated to perform cladding operations on cylindrical parts. In most cases the workpieces are positioned on a turntable or positioner. However, there are other, much more complex scenarios, where it is impossible to set the workpieces in motion, either due to their size and weight, or quite simply because of their geometry (e.g. eccentric bore holes or nozzles). A group of endlessly rotating collector welding and cladding heads, with torches which can be rotated without twisting the cable/hose bundles, has been specifically designed for such situations. These machines handle cladding operations on fixed workpieces with a high level of automation.
For even more complex workpiece geometries, such as manifolds with intersections or cross sections, ‘bore-to-bore’ functions, supported by Polysoude’s CN-Controller can complete the installation.
