1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE MACHINE
The welding machine 6160/LI. was designed and manufactured for welding of pipes and/or fittings in
thermoplastic material for sewer pipelines and for stated diameters.
This welding machine is mainly composed by:
•
Basic machine with electric planing tool and thermoelement support.
•
Pair of main clamps for pipes fastening and relevant reductions.
•
Work bench frame/ protection for transport; tool box for thermoelement and reductions.
Basic machine with electric planing tool and support for thermoelement:
The basic machine is composed by two carriages in aluminum casting, one fixed and one sliding
provided with a spring device, which allows to determinate the pressure during various welding steps
and which is useful for the movement of the carriage itself.
This device is driven by a hand wheel (A) connected to a pinion-rack system, which maintains a
constant pressure (indicated by the reference C) when it is locked by the lever (B).
The movable carriage is equipped by 4 sliding sheets with a low coefficient of friction and high
abrasion resistance which are suitable for using in fields.
Carriage slides on two shafts, chromed and adjusted, anchored to two shoulders which can be fixed
to the work bench frame.
On the back side of the machine, the extractable thermoelement support and planing tool slide on a
chromed and adjusted shaft; the linear sliding and the turnover are assured by blow-by ball bearings.
The thermoelement support, manufactured in aluminum casting, allows the right positioning of the
thermoplate (already supplied), during the heating stage and its housing, when not used, helping the
operator during the following welding stages.
The electric planing tool, manufactured in aluminum casting too, allows a quick flat parallel on both
pipes and/or fittings end to be welded. Blades are mounted at 180° the one to each other and they
are sharpened on both sides. It will be only needed to turn them in order to use the second
sharpening. In any case, do not sharpen blades by yourselves, this will cause a bad electric planing
tool working.
The electric planing tool is equipped by a mechanical device (A) which allows the removal of jaws in
case they are turned to 7,5°, in order to obtain the right alignment of the elements which have to be
welded. The planing tool is provided with a safety micro-switch (B) which avoid the starting of the
planing tool itself if it is not positioned on the workplace, although accidental actuation of the switch
positioned on the handle (C). The planing tool has also a mechanical hanger for safety (D).
