Application of Laser Weld Seam Tracking System in Longitudinal Submerged Arc Welded Pipe

Straight seam welded pipe application overview

As the world's leading supplier of pipeline weld tracking systems, Meta has extensive experience in weld seam tracking of straight seam welded pipes, including:

UOE straight seam welded pipe

Meta's product line for straight seam welded pipes is perfectly suited for the production of welded pipes of all sizes, from pipe assembly to full-size continuous welded pipe.

Meta's product range includes:

Low-cost system for simple applications such as pipe assembly and small-scale production of tubular components on the manipulator for high-speed multi-gun single-pass welding systems, such as high-capacity UOE pipes;
More advanced systems for multi-gun multi-pass welding, such as the production of thick-walled tubes for the nuclear industry and the seabed. Our systems generate the following benefits for welded pipe producers:

Quality productivity

Improve weld quality:

The main quality benefit of using a laser weld tracking system is that the system always ensures that the weld is formed in the correct position, which greatly improves the quality of the weld. For example, our system can control the root penetration better than manual or mechanical tracking, and the interlayer penetration of the inner and outer seams is very consistent. Since the Meta Laser Weld Seam Tracking System controls the horizontal and vertical position of the torch, it can achieve better quality because it can precisely control the dry elongation.

Meta's VistaWeld system has been used in point soldering at speeds up to 10 m/min and is fully adapted to the harsh field environment of spot welders.

Improve productivity:

The use of a laser weld seam tracking system can significantly increase productivity. In the operation machine or the operation frame type pipe welding machine, the system setting is very simple, and the operator does not need to worry about the position of the welding gun, and can perform other work. In the production of multi-station welded pipes, one operator can control multiple equipments and reduce the scrap rate, thus improving the welding quality and reducing the production cost.

Since the laser tracking system can accommodate welding speeds of up to 10 m/min, the welding speed in the actual welded pipe depends only on the welding process, not the skill of the operator.

Production of low volume pipes:

Pipeline production for pipelines, vessels and coastal structures is widely used in manipulator/operator mode. Meta offers high-end systems for low-cost systems and automated multi-gun multi-pass applications for such applications.
