In the production process of longitudinal submerged arc welded pipe (LSAW steel pipe), pipe manufacturers usually use laser weld seam tracking system. So what role does it play on LSAW steel pipe’s production process? Prime Steel Pipe will introduce it below:
1.Improved the weld quality of LSAW steel pipe:
The main quality benefits of using the laser weld tracking system are: the system can always ensure that the weld is formed in the correct position, which greatly improves the quality of the welding. For example, Prime Steel Pipe’s system can better control the penetration of the roots than manual or mechanical tracking, as well as the penetration between the inner and outer joints.
2.Progressive productivity:
The use of laser weld tracking system can significantly improve productivity. In the manipulator or operator-operated pipe press, the system is very easy to set up, the operator no need to worry about the location of the torch, can engage in other work. In the production of multi-station welded pipe, a manipulator can control multiple equipment, reduce the rejection rate, and thus improve the quality of welding, while reducing production costs.
Since the laser tracking system can accommodate up to 10 m / min of welding speed, the actual welding speed in the welded pipe depends only on the welding process, rather than the operator's skills.
3.Production of low-capacity pipes:
Tubes, containers and coastal structures for pipe fittings are widely used in the operating / operating frame mode.
