ESAB has added a range of roller beds to its line of products. Designed to help improve the productivity and quality of round fabrications including wind turbine towers and pipelines, the roller beds can withstand the harshest conditions. The beds come in a variety of sizes and features to suit every application. They can also be used in conjunction with ESAB’s A2 A6 process controller PEK system for submerged arc welding, GMAW welding and arc gouging. The maximum load capacity, depending on the model selected, ranges from 2.5 to 60 tons per section. The beds can handle component diameters ranging from 150mm to 8.4m. For less complex applications the CD 5 120 and CI 5 120 are traditional roller beds (driven and idler types) that feature rollers with durable polyurethane tyres and oversized bearings. A solid state inverter offers exact speed control and a cast steel gearbox with double worm gears provides smooth operation and a minimal amount of backlash. The SD 5 100 and SI 5 100 roller beds offers a self alignment feature where the workpiece is supported by two pivoted roller pairs. The FUB 30 is a complete Fit-Up Bed consisting of one powered and one idler roller bed, four independently adjustable rollers aligning the two sections of the fabrication, and a robust frame onto which the other components are mounted. ESAB also offers customized models.
