LJ's Pipe Titan HD system solves the problem of longer cycle times for welding heavy-wall piping with different diameters. The system uses a direct Root-to-SAW process, allowing operators to perform a manual GMAW root-pass followed immediately by a mechanized AC SAW hot-pass. This results in up to 5X faster cycle times compared to traditional manual methods. Interested in learning more about our Pipe Welding Systems? Click below:
Pipe Titan HD uses EWM Titan XQ 500 power supply with a modified short arc process, known as "rootArc" for open root welding.
The "rootArc" waveform provides excellent gap-bridging and control of the weld pool, with reduced heat input and spatter compared to conventional short-circuit roots.
The transition to the AC SAW hot-pass is done using the Lincoln Powerwave AC/DC 1000 SD. Its superior root welding performance makes it possible to substitute a conventional GMAW 2nd (hot) pass with AC SAW process, up to 4-5x faster.
Using the direct root-to-saw process, operators can perform a manual GMAW root-pass, followed immediately by a mechanized AC SAW hot-pass. That results in allowing a 3/16” thick manual GMAW root-pass be immediately followed by a mechanized AC SAW hot-pass, providing up to 5X faster cycle times compared to traditional manual methods.
