Short seam welding machine

Koike Aronson/ Ransome Inc. has introduced the LS- 48 longitudinal seam welding machine, a 48-in.-long version of its PS

series of seam welding machines.

The new machine features a fixed-height mandrel—a 4-in.-dia. tube— that supports the workpiece. The mandrel is available for different welding processes, gas purge and water cooling if desired, and plate thicknesses up to ³⁄ 8 in.

The welding machine uses replaceable copper clamping fingers mounted in aluminum retainers to conduct heat away from the weld, which prevents arc blow caused by magnetization of the frame. Replaceable copper-tipped fingers are optional. A stainless steel bushing on the clamping arm guards against machine magnetization.

A custom side beam runs the full length of the machine. The carriage is rack-and-pinion-powered and comes standard with a cable carrier and adjustable-travel limit switches. The side beam assembly is adjustable for aligning and leveling with the mandrel and weld joint. A powered torch lifter is available. The machine can be provided with factory-installed welding equipment, or the user can supply the equipment.
