Butt fusion welding can be managed automatically by using the Delta Dragon CNC gearcase; this would eliminate any risk of error due to the operator. It is available in two versions: SA, Semi-Automatic and FA, Fully Automatic.
The CNC gearcase is available for the Delta Dragon 250 B and 315 B models. It is equipped with a compact and innovative plastic casing, which can resist to the most extreme job site working conditions; particular attention was paid to the connections as well, by applying military type plugs.
An easy to use software and control panel allow to view the most widely used welding standards. By selecting any one of the standard and pipe diameter / SDR, all the welding parameters would be automatically calculated according to the standard itself. If the chosen welding cycle is not included in the standards listed above, it is possible to manually input the welding parameters by simply entering the out of standard mode. In both cases, the machine is able to automatically manage all the phases of the welding cycle, including milling and heating control.
At the end of the welding cycle, all data are stored in the in-built memory, up to 600 records. Serial ports enable the operator to connect the gearcase to a portable serial printer (to obtain an immediate report) or to a PC. Using Ritmo data management software, the operator can create a database for the records of the whole welding history of each machine.
CNC hydraulic gearcase is usually provided as a component of Delta Dragon 250 B and Delta Dragon 315 B.
The complete configuration includes:
- a linear transducer applied to the machine body;
- a manually extractable heating element (SA) or an automatically extractable heating element (FA);
- a milling cutter;
- hydraulic hoses with non-drip quick couplings for connecting the gearcase to the machine body;
- a transducer cable for connecting the gearcase to the machine body;
- a milling cutter/heating plate support;
- a PC data transfer/management software.
