Abstract
1438674 Welding by fusion MITSUI SHIPBUILDING & ENG CO Ltd 1 June 1973 [2 June 1972] 26326/73 Heading B3R In a machine for tack welding flanges 24 to the ends of a pipe 1, upper and lower jaws 2, 2a, arranged to support the pipe ends and abut the flanges, carry torches 9 which are directed towards the junctions of the pipe and the flanges. In preparation for welding the flanges to the pipe, (i) the upper and lower jaws are moved to radially inward positions and members 8 are also moved radially inwards to positions in which spring-pressed plungers 10 thereof are in position to enter respective flange bolt holes, (ii) the flanges are caused to fall on to pins 5 of the lower jaws to be thereby positioned with their axes slightly lower than that of a notional pipe, (iii) conical centres 13 are axially advanced pneumatically to press the flanges against the jaws and align the flanges with the notional pipe axis; (iv) the centres are rotated by stepping motors 22, via gearing 23, 21 and cylinders 16 fast in rotation with, but slidable with respect to, the centres, to frictionally rotate the flanges until the plungers 10 are able to move to enter respective flange bolt holes and station the flanges and to actuate switches 12 to stop the motors 22, (v) the cylinders 16 and hence electromagnets 15 thereon are axially advanced pneumatically to attract the flanges thereto, (vi) the electromagnets together with the centres and the attracted flanges are withdrawn, (vii) the upper jaws 2 and the members 8 are withdrawn, and the lower jaws 2a are moved to their pipe engaging positions, (viii) the pipe is placed on the lower jaws and gripped by lowering of the upper jaws, and (ix) the centres and electromagnets are advanced with the flanges, the centres acting to centre the pipe along its axis, and by engagement of the cones of the centres with both the flange apertures and pipe bore ends, to locate the flanges with respect to the pipe. After welding, all the jaws are withdrawn and the flanged pipe is allowed to fall to a further operational position. Of the two parts of the locating apparatus at each end of the pipe, one is stationary and the other, B, is axially movable to suit pipe length. The jaws 2, 2a and the members 8 are moved by feed screws 4, 7 driven by stepping motors 3, 6.
