 TIG/Plasma Welding System
|
Griffin Automation's welding specialists can recommend the best welding process for applications to suit your specific product need, drawing on almost 40 years of welding experience. Our mechanical engineering department can design a system to suit your specific requirements and our manufacturing group will build and fully test to your specifications.
MIG, TIG and Plasma
Griffin Automation produces MIG, TIG and plasma welding systems to fit a wide variety of parts and materials depending on the application. Dual purpose systems (i.e. TIG and Plasma) can be supplied with programmable weld controls to provide the most versatile of welding systems.
Pulsed MIG welding of thin sheet metal components is another area of Griffin Automation expertise.
Resistance
If your interest is in acquiring a resistance welding system, Griffin Automation can readily service your needs.
Laser
Griffin Automation has produced numerous laser welding cells, incorporating both high and low power Lasers. The appropriate Laser power source will be selected to meet your specific requirements.
Beam directing optics and gas dispersion components, as well as water chillers for mirror optics and focus head cooling, are selected to provide a complete packaged Laser System.
The Laser System can incorporate manipulation of the focus head and/or workpiece, or a combination of motions can be employed. All motions are CNC controlled for precision accuracy.
Ultrasonic Welding Systems For Plastics
The plastics industry is one of the fastest growing in the nation. To complement this growth, new methods for splicing, mounting, and/or attaching molded plastic product to parent components are an everyday challenge, and one that Griffin Automation has successfully met.
The welding and staking of plastic to plastic, or metal clips and studs to plastic, is readily accomplished through the use of ultrasonic techniques.
The introduction of ultrasonics to generate localized heat for welding and/or staking offers product engineers a variety of fastening methods when establishing product designs. Typical products include automobile heating and air-conditioning ducting, computer printer housings, plastic louvers, and blower housings.
Manipulators/Positioners - Packaged Systems
With over 30 years experience in the field of automatic welding, Griffin Automation's welding engineering group can assist you in the proper selection and implementation of the latest "state-of-the-art" welding processes and equipment.
If you already have manipulators and/or positioners and wish to upgrade your systems, Griffin Automation can refurbish the "iron ware" and retro-fit with totally new control systems and welding apparatus. Positioners, turning rolls, and other workpiece manipulating components can be interfaced with your existing manipulator to form a complete welding cell.
If you wish to purchase a totally new system, Griffin Automation offers our own manipulators and positioners and/or turning rolls to meet your exact process requirements.
Precision "aircraft quality" manipulators can be provided where lateral run-out is held within .005"/ft. of extension. Precision (hardened) travel ways and bearings assure smooth ram travel motion, powered via closed loop feedback drive system and special thrust bearing arrangement. If precision positioning for ram extension is needed, a ball screw and closed loop dc servo-ram drive system can be provided on special order. Powered column rotation with pneumatic powered anti-rotation lock can also be supplied as an "option"; otherwise, (3) manual locking cams are supplied as standard. Multi-strand (heavy duty) chain lift provides constant vertical travel at approximately 45 IPM, powered via a constant speed ac brake motor/gear reducer combination. A safety ratchet and pawl system prevents ram from falling in the event of chain breakage. |
