Tank And Vessel Turning Rolls — Welding And Positioning Equipment

Tank And Vessel Turning Rolls

For special operations where pipes or vessels have to be aligned quickly and precisely, Weld-Max pipe alignment rolling rolls are designed. As well as compensating for shop floor or ground inconsistencies, we offer our vessel pipe alignment rolls.

By reducing worker fatigue and securing cylindrical parts in their correct positions, our pipe alignment turning rolls enhance worker efficiency. The workpiece can be supported in a much larger area, reducing setup time. We offer pipe alignment roll solutions that are used in double-joining systems, such as pipe, tank, and vessel double-joining, offering maximum safety and efficiency, while reducing fit up times by up to 65%. The last feature of Weld-Max’s HGK-10 pipe alignment roll is that it automatically sets the centerline when the vessel is lowered on the turning rolls, enabling a fast fit up.

A wide range of workpieces can be accommodated by the HGK-10 without the need for separate adjustments. When rotating workpieces that are unbalanced, thin-walled or heavy, and have diameters ranging from 10 inches to 100 inches, HGK-10 is able to maintain constant rotation speeds and a constant centerline. It can carry up to 10 tons of load, distributed evenly between driver and idler. In addition, the height is adjustable up to 10 inches, the side shift feature is available, as well as powered track drive.

The Weld-Max pipe alignment turning rolls are ideal for pipe and vessel applications where precision, speed, accuracy, and leveling are needed for fit-up and welding. In addition, we provide solutions that compensate for inconsistencies on the shop floor or on the ground.

A 65% reduction in fit up cycle times can be achieved with Weld-Max’s HGZ-10, which offers maximum efficiency and safety. As the vessel is lowered on the turning rolls, our pipe alignment tank rolls automatically adjust the wheel centerline setting for a fast fit-up.

By providing constant centerline alignment, vessel pipe alignment rolls make set-up and alignment quick and easy, reducing an 8-hour job to two hours. In order to provide an efficient rotation, this load capacity of the idler and driver is evenly distributed. The pipe alignment rolling for welding are adaptable to a variety of workpieces without requiring separate adjustments. When rotating thin-walled, heavy, or unbalanced workpieces, they maintain a constant centerline and enable constant rotation speeds. Workpieces with a diameter ranging from just 10 inches to 100 inches can be handled with the HGK-10.

Pipes and other cylindrical workpieces are rotated and positioned with fixed height turning rolls. These welding machines are reliable for welding applications involving tubes or pipe with thick wall thicknesses. It is simple to integrate them with column and boom manipulators in order to increase vessel fabrication productivity.

The diameter range and load capacity of Weld-Max’s fixed rolling machines are unsurpassed. For quick changes between different sized workpieces, fixed height turning rolls are useful. Using synchronized rotation, welds are made easier and better and preparation costs are reduced. A dual drive system without a shaft and synchronized rotation provides maximum stability and control. By reducing idle time using cranes and manual manipulation, the HGK and HGZ series increase productivity and worker safety.

The rollers in the power section of Weld-Max are all power-driven. Depending on the request of the customer, they can adjust the diameter manually or through control options that the client can upgrade. Additional accessories and options can be combined with our products to meet our customers’ requirements.
