Side Beam Welding System for Tank and Pipe Seams

haibao robot supplies mechanized longitudinal and circumferential welding of tank shells and large-diameter pipes, using a rail-mounted torch carriage with suitable workpiece support.

How the system works

A side beam carries the welding carriage along a straight joint. Combine the assembly with turning rolls or a headstock fixture to weld circumferential seams. The arrangement provides access for loading while keeping the torch travel path separate from the workpiece support.

Configuration and selection data

Unsupported thin-wall workpieces below 2 mm require particular care. A dedicated clamping or backing fixture may be more suitable than a suspended arrangement.

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.
