‘Make your first step into Weld Automation with the Key Plant Flange Cladder’

By utilising our standard products, PPC and AHVP range, we now offer an automated turnkey solution with touch screen data entry and PLC control of the weld sequence. This system has been developed to make the first step into weld automation for circular weld seam, butt welds, overlay pipe, ring groove and plate welding.

The system can integrate to any welding equipment manufacturer, all you need is to trigger the welding equipment and clamp the MIG/MAG welding torch.

It has the built-in ‘step’ function for programmable start/stop points and multi-layer/multi-pass stepping facility as well as weld speed stabiliser when the diameter changes during face welds.

The control system of the PPC can be integrated into various Key Plant positioning & rotating equipment, and is also supplied with weld start/stop functionality.
