Automatização do processo de soldagem da tubulação de óleo de motores e geradores

Abstract

In the company WEG Electrical Equipment - Energy division, several welding processes are used for the manufacturing processes of parts, such as welding TIG (Gás Tungsten Welding) welding, MIG/MAG (MIG- Metal Inert Gás and MAG- Metal active Gás) welding, submerged arc welding (SAW), oxyacetylene welding, etc. The demand for versatile and high productivity welding processes is a continuous need, especially in the union of tubes that are used to transport oil and water in various situations that we use in our company in motors and generators. The present work deals with a proposal to replace the process of manual welding of the lubrification tubing of the oil bearings of the generators and motors for the automatic orbital welding process, focusing on improving quality and consequently increasing productivity. The orbital heads are used in the mechanization of welding pipes and ducts in a variety of thicknesses, in situations where the quality of the weld must be in conjunction with the productivity. With the presentation of the concepts of several authors of the welding processes used today and the concepts of the orbital weld to be proposed. They prove that the production process is effective, with better quality and increased productivity.
