The Process Welding Systems' special lathe is used for welding components that are used for radiation detection in oil production equipment. The compact lathe design is for use in a glove dry box. The welding equipment used is a Miller Maxstar 200LX with a Weldcraft WP-50 small TIG torch with 50 amps maximum current. Head is only 58" in diameter. The SCS-102 solid state motor speed control provides speeds from 0.5 rpm to 25 rpm. The control has a forward and reverse function and automatic and manual modes. Contact PWS for custom designed turnkey welding systems for TIG, plasma and MIG welding or call us at 615-793-7020.

The welding lathe system includes a Process Welding Systems' SCS-102 Solid State Speed Control and a DT-100 Weld Controller. The lathe has 22" between centers. Standard 6" 3 jaw chucks or 5C collets can be used with the headstock and tailstock. The 5C headstock collet closer is activated by an openclose foot switch and the tailstock open and close is activated by a hand switch. The head stock and tailstock has separate regulators with gauges and speed controls. Welding equipment is a Miller Maxstar 200LX with the PWS DT-100 Weld Controller. The TIG torch uses an electro gauge to accurately set the tungsten stand off distance before welding. Motions and actions are controlled by a PLC. The system included all wiring, hoses, cables, regulators and manuals with setup and training.

The system includes a precision welding lathe with air collet closer, solid state motor control, torch tower with Arc Voltage Control, tailstock with gas back up through the tailstock, TIG welding power supply with welding programmer, PLC to sequence the movements of the welding system and an encoder to place the part to be welded in the home position. The operator control pendant includes sequence startstop, weldno weld, lathe rotation forwardreverse, lathe speed, shield gas purge, torch tower inout and tailstock inout.

The lathe tooling was designed and built to weld a valve assembly that has an electric motor inside. Also the valve had glass feeds that could possibly crack during welding. The motor could not reach a temperature above 350 degrees Fahrenheit during welding. A PLC was used to sequence the clamping, lathe rotation, find home position and reverse the rotation back to home after welding. The system included an operator pendant for shield gas purge, lathe rotation forwardreverse, sequence stop, weldno weld, home, dual palm buttons, torch tower and tailstock switches. The welding was done with a Maxstar 200LX and PWS DT-100 weld controller. All electronics are hardened against HF noise.
