Circumferential Seam and Flange Welders for Duct, Tanks and Cylinders

Double-torch girth welder, vertical ring-seam welder for stainless, and a large-duct flange welder up to 3500 mm

Circumferential Seam and Flange Welders

Overview

What it does

These machines weld the round seams: cylinder to cylinder, flange to duct, and end caps. The work turns under a fixed torch, so every point of the seam sees the same speed and torch angle.

The double-torch welder runs two independently controlled torches at once, with arc-voltage height tracking and external gas shielding. The vertical ring-seam welder holds stainless cylinders and cones upright on a turntable and reaches inner, outer and corner seams from a multi-axis cross arm in one clamping, with TIG and filler wire.

For large air and exhaust ducts, the flange welder turns duct sections on roller beds and welds flanges and duct-to-duct joints on diameters from 300 to 2000 mm, up to 3500 mm at the limit, and sections up to 4500 mm long.

Frequently asked questions

About this machine

Which machine for which job?

Cylinders, flanges and end caps where two seams can be welded at once: the double-torch welder. Stainless cylinders and cones that need inner and outer seams in one clamping: the vertical ring-seam welder. Large air and exhaust ducts with flanges: the large-duct welder.

How must the parts be prepared?

For the ring-seam welder the setup needs tack welds about 3 mm long every 50 mm and a joint gap of 0.5 to 1 mm. Send drawings of your parts and we confirm the fit-up for each machine.

What diameter can the large-duct welder take?

300 to 2000 mm as standard and up to 3500 mm at the limit, with sections 1200 to 4500 mm long.

What lead time and warranty apply?

Lead time and warranty for this machine are confirmed in the quotation for your configuration.

Is the machine CE marked?

CE marking is confirmed at quotation. Tell us the destination country and we check what documents come with the machine.
