VARB XL (Europe)
The automatic half shell welding machine
The VARB XL is the big sister of the VARB and is suited for particularly big pipe bends with a diameter of up to 315 mm (12”). In the VARB XL, work pieces are clamped and welded in a horizontal position. This allows for a more precise guidance of the work piece at higher weights. The system concept is designed for fully automated operation.
The VARB XL requires a separate clamping and holding tool for each pipe bend diameter. No more than 10 minutes are necessary for retooling, including change of material and adjustment of parameters.
Benefit at Glance
- Production of very big pipe bends with thin material raduis 1.5
- High quality because the weld process is guided with shells
- Integration in a fully automated production line easy possible
- Only 10min. for a product change
