The Koike Aronson / Ransome VUP single pass automatic welding system delivers faster, consistent, x-ray quality vertical welds on field erected storage tanks and other applications.
The VUP can handle vertical joint welding on plates 3/8" to 1" thick 6' to 10' high. With the optional oscillator, plates from 1-1/4" to 2" can be joined together.
The VUP's power supply consists of a skid-mounted Lincoln® DC-1000 with NA3 control and water flow panel.
The standard Lincoln NR-431/NR-432 Innershield® Processes offer significant savings, providing deposition rates of 48 lbs./hr.
The VUP is also ideal for other applications, including shipbuilding and manipulator-mounted butt-welding of 6' to 50' vertical plates.
The VUP's sturdy mainframe features a vertical column mounted on a carriage and roller assembly that rides on the top of tank plates. Its self-locking gear reducer with variable speed drive is electronically integrated with the welding control, which automatically adjusts speed to maintain the optimum copper-shoe-to-weld puddle relationship.
The lift controls include an up/down switch, low/high speed potentiometers and rapid speed selector.
Requiring just one operator, the VUP can complete 10 to 12 vertical seams per work shift.
Options available are water re-circulating system, power lateral travel, nozzle oscillator for plates 1-1/4" to 2" thick, electrical other than 230/460-3ph-60Hz, or other-than-standard wiring, and wiring for cable spans longer than 200' (61 meters).
