Designing and Manufacturing of Automatic Welding - Cutting Fixtures for Steel Pipes with Medium Power

Abstract

In mechanical processing, the cutting of long steel pipe billets into short steel pipe billets or the welding of short steel pipe billets,... are frequent activities. To ensure the accuracy of required sizes, shapes,... as well as high productivity, it is necessary to use fixtures. The aim of this paper is to design and to manufacture automatic welding and cutting fixtures for steel pipes with medium power. The result of this research shows that the completed fixtures work reliably and the products made with these fixtures have high quality. Besides, the advantages of these fixtures are their compact structures, which results in their mobility in construction sites, high applicability, low cost and easy operation. These fixtures can be employed in factories or mechanical processing facilities for welding and cutting
