Welding Machine for Single & Double Shell Poles

Single shell & Double shell poles welding, starting from bended shells.

WELDING MACHINE FOR SINGLE & DOUBLE SHELL POLES

OMM provide wide and flexible solutions by its latest welding machine for single & double shell poles with an innovative shell coupling system, high quality welding, high welding penetration, conical round & polygonal poles welding, poles straightened, that make suitable this machine for poles production plant with a wide range of poles production typology.

OMM’s welding machine for single & double shell poles can easily be operated and carried thanks to its user-friendly interface. It’s produced with the latest production technologies able to guarantee the best results in term of poles welding.

Used for steel poles production, it represents the solution for companies that want to produce poles (conical round & polygonal poles) with very wide range of poles typology with very high quality, reduced poles handling time and high production rate, covering the production of lighting poles, distribution poles and high mast.

OMM’s welding machine for single & double shell poles process independently conical round & polygonal pole starting from top or bottom as well, up to 1,250 mm of diameter and process single and double shell poles. This machine is suitable for being inserted in an automatic line, downstream of the presses.

The innovative coupling system is fully automatic; the shells are located on two different lines. One of the shells is raised through a cylinder and locked, thanks to the couplers is overturned on the second shell. The pole is pulled in the welding machine in order to start the welding operation. Thanks to its innovative coupling system, no bridge crane or special tools will be required to manage and couple the shells, reducing the coupling time (20 sec), making it accurate and safe.

This machine allows, starting from a bended trapezium, to weld the joint applying the proper force from the side and from the top in order to close the joint but without any shape deformation. To make it happen, the machine checks the value of the force applied and change it according to the mechanical resistance (diameter and thickness).

Tecnichal and main features

OMM’s Welding Machine for Single & Double Shell Poles, in case of double shell welding, weld simultaneously two joints with two torches. This allows to reduce the cycle time because at the same time is able to weld two joints and there is no need to rotate and move twice the pole through the welding machine.

All the process is managed by only one operator for parameters setting (poles length, top and bottom diameter, thickness) and survey.

Making a good pole, straight and well welded, it’s the main feature in order to don’t waste time and money on the repairing station.

This machine as all our machines/systems has been designed and manufactured respecting all the norms, in term of safety and respecting the environment (noise, fumes aspiration, energy recovery back), given by the European Community:

• Complies with all applicable requirements of the machine directive 2006/42/EC
• Conforms with all applicable provisions of the directive 2006/95/CE (low tension)
• Conforms with all applicable provisions of the directive 2004/108/CE (electromagnetic compatibility)
• Conforms with the standard EN ISO 12100 (General principles on machine design)
• Conforms with the standard EN 60204 (Machine Electrical Equipment)

OMM implement the management system in conformity with the European norm ISO 9001:2015 for the designing, construction, installation and maintenance of the industrial automatic equipment for steel fabrication (EA 18).
