GROWING LINES - TANK & VESSEL

Growing lines are ideal for welding long cylindrical weldments more efficiently and safely, all so you can remain ahead of your welding projects and efficiently increase shop productivity. If you can relate to less-than-optimal weldment procedures, especially when welding long cylinders, this page is for you.

The growing line system’s main functions are to save time during the fit-up process, improve worker safety and reduce welder fatigue. With growing lines, you can be extra efficient and produce much more, without sacrificing the quality of the work environment or product.

What You Can Expect

• Minimize crane usage
• Achieve faster alignment and indexing
• Reduce fit-up times by 65%
• Smooth precision in controlling the system

Why Use Growing Lines

• Superior fit-up capabilities including powered elevation, side shift, track drive features, and indexing features allow the operator to safely line up heavy vessel sections.
• Allows for the assembly of cans while minimizing the use of cranes, making it ideal for manufacturing applications where numerous sections are being joined.
• Enables operators to assemble and relocate a vessel or tower which may be heavier than the lift capacity of overhead cranes.
• Allows for growing of the fabricated vessel away from the welding system; this is more efficient because the column and boom welding manipulator can remain in the same location for maximum productivity during welding.
• Eliminates the need for wedges and inefficient/potentially unsafe manual jacking systems to align the cans.
