Rotating motor power 2.2 KVA Reductor IRMF161 22 cycle/min
Container compressing system and fixture Normally;  compression parts, which are open connected to two horizontal pistons, each in conic outer shape (inner shape of diameter) facing each other in half moon form, are closed and compress the diameter through back support part via withdrawing together with compressing pistons which are placed on another bearing arrangement. Each fixture and pneumatic parts are built modularly. This way, it is possible to remove the parts in between and cancel the functions. As air outlets of the fixture are built with one way Quick connection components, there will be no need  trying to close air while getting the fixture to the edge and will provide easy mounting and dismantling.
Loading method Lock parts, which are put to scaffold pipe manually by the operator, are placed between the support part and half moon shaped compression part, mouth facing up. During this process, diameter, approximate horizontal distance is taken into consideration. Normally;  compression parts, which are open connected to two horizontal pistons, each in conic outer shape (inner shape of diameter) facing each other in half moon form, are closed and compress the cup through back support part via withdrawing together with compressing pistons which are placed on another bearing arrangement.
Torch angular turn Pneumatic 0° - 45°
Rotation control Will be double speed, rotate in high speed and will slow down in second speed before arriving at stop point.
Motor drive Rotation of the pipe will be provided by transferring  the movement received from motor (which is accoupled directly to the mirror), to the spot via sprocket through direct transmission
Welding By the help of PLC control unit, the below mentioned steps are actualized in sequence. Choosing intermittent welding or full circle welding is possible via a selection key.

1-Torches (as the activated unit is indicated on panel board), are positioned to welding point pneumatically.

2-First spot is thrown before rotation begins and after waiting for 3 seconds, rotation and welding makes the half circle welding at the determined distance; while the rotation is continuing, welding stops. Welding starts at the beginning of second half circle and again stops at the end; rotation continues and arrives at the starting point.

3- Welding torches lift, compressing pistons open and return to its first situation. Spot and airy mirror opens and finished pipe is released.

Torch positioning 5 pcs. of welding modules can move 3000mm in horizontal axis. A mechanism which can be used for tweaking the torches is available at the body: which is compressed by adjusting the container in horizontal position.

On line Mounting the fixture, each fixture and pneumatic parts are built modularly. This enables to cancel the functions by removing the in between parts, at variable dimensions. As air outlets of the fixture are built with one way Quick connection components, there will be no need  trying to close air while getting the fixture to the edge and provides easy mounting and dismantling.
Welding torches Container adjustment will be made by sliding through the axis and will be fixed. Generally, the reason of the application required for this adjustment is; that although the start, for making horizontal element in varying pipe lengths, is stabile whereas the adjustment of torch which comes against to the torch at spot side is in variable dimensions.
