Welding Station
The
LoneStar automatic
welding station consists of two orbital welding robots
traveling around the pipe on a guiding band, with each
robot welding 180 degrees - one half of the pipe.

Each orbital welding robot
independently controls the wire feeder unit and welding
power source, which adjusts according to welding
parameters as the welding position changes.

In addition to orbital
travel around the pipe, the welding robot provides
three-axis movement, controlling the welding working
distance, oscillation and angle of the welding head.

Typical welding set-ups
have multiple welding stations where each station
performs a welding pass. The number of passes is
dependent upon the pipe wall
thickness. The
LoneStar
automated welding system can perform any welding pass on
any welding station and multiple welding passes in one
station, increasing flexibility and ease of use.
Welding parameters are developed for specific welding procedures
and downloaded to the orbital welding robot
upon approval of the welding procedures by client.
Actual welding parameters are recorded for easy
historical look-up of performed welds.
