Overlap welding line

seamspot weldingcomputer-controlled

Product overview
Automatic welding production line for plates and support meshes designed for the welding of electrode frames, pole/pressure plates and nickel/electrode meshes used in alkaline electrolyzers. The line integrates automated handling, precision assembly and flexible welding processes to meet different product designs and production rates.

Main components

• Automatic loading and unloading stations
• Assembly and welding stations for support meshes and pressure plates
• Assembly and welding stations for pole plates and nickel meshes

Equipment features

• Rail-mounted robots combined with vision systems for fully automatic, high-speed loading and unloading enabling unmanned line operation
• Nickel meshes can be processed by spot welding, seam (line) welding or full-area welding depending on product design to reduce electrolyzer contact resistance and lower power consumption
• Adaptive force-control grasping algorithm for reliable handling and precise assembly of large-area flexible materials such as nickel and support meshes
• Automatic placement and welding of pressure plates; pressure plate process validated by 72-hour salt spray test for corrosion resistance
