The A.I. Welding Systems for manufacture and repair of Anode Brackets/Rods are of vertical design enabling the machines to be interfaced with the plant conveyor.

This system allows the Anode Brackets/Rods to be repaired without the necessity for removal from the conveyor.

A.I offers a range Automatic Flash and Friction welding Machines for manufacture and repair of Anode Brackets/Rods.

Process selection is determined by Anode Bracket/Rod configuration and repair levels.

VERTICAL DESIGN interfacing with conveyor.

HANDLING SYSTEM for transfer of anode brackets/rods from conveyor to welding machine.

REPAIR PIN/STUD FEEDING SYSTEM to reduce operator fatigue.

AUTOMATIC WELD UPSET REMOVAL to eliminate further need for dressing operations.

COMPONENT LOCATORS AND BACKSTOPS for improved alignment and length control.

MACHINE SEQUENCING BY FULLY PROGRAMMABLE LOGIC CONTROL for increased reliabiltiy in operation.

  • Weld Programme Storage and Recall enables system to be set up for welding of a specifc component size by selecting the appropriate programme reference.

  • Programme selection Via Line Computer.
    Information sent via parallel signals or data highway.

  • Weld Recording/monitoring system for improved quality control.

 

  • Manufacture and repair of Single and Multiple pin Anode Brackets.

  • Welding of Steel Pins to Anode Brackets for manufacture and repair.

  • Welding of Copper Stems to Steel pins

  • Welding of Aluminium Stems to Steel pins (Friction Welding only).

  • Welding of Copper Stems in the recovery process.

A.I. Flash and Friction Welding Machines are designed to produce high strength welds with good electrical conducting characteristics in anode brackets with pin sizes ranging in diameter from 100mm to 180mm

Machines can accommodate single pin, 2 pin, 3 pin, 4 pin, and 6 pin Anode Brackets.
