Traversing extra heavy duty 7m x 6m tandem circumferential seam column & boom welding system.

We designed and manufactured the worlds first telescopic column & boom with a tandem welding system.

The advantage of using a telescopic type column and boom is to save space at the opposite side of the column.When the telescopic boom retracts it fits inside the main boom arm, therefore it is not required to have the same amount of area behind the column as in front of the column.

This 5.4m x 9.5m telescopic system incorporated 2 power sources, 2 submerged arc welding heads, motorised slides, tracking systems, camera monitors and a flux recovery system. The weight of the welding head at the end of the boom is 620kg at a distance of 10,500mm from the centre of the column. There is minimal welding head vibration or movement with the boom arm fully extended.
