A welding complex in accordance with the invention comprises a machine for resistance butt welding, means for supporting the end part of the pipeline and holding means including a platform reciprocable axially of the pipeline and a plate with a device for carrying the pipe section to be welded, rotatable by a drive between the positions of loading a pipe section and aligning it with the pipeline. For loading the holding means with the plate rotated into the loading position, by longitudinally displacing a pipe section from the accumulator, the latter is arranged alongside the platform, so that the pipe section it delivers extends at an acute angle relative to the end of the pipeline.

Welding complex

A pipe resistance butt welding apparatus comprises a body with an elongated arrying member and two internal expanding clamps including current-feeding shoes. One of the clamps is rigidly attached to the body, whereas the other is movably mounted on the elongated carrying member and connected with a drive intended to communicate reciprocating motion to the other clamp. A trimming mechanism for removing flash is mounted on at least one of the internal expanding clamps. The body of the apparatus mounts centering supporting rollers and driving wheels, the former and the latter being secured thereto by means of spring-loaded levers. The driving wheels are connected with a rotation drive intended to rotate the wheels. The body carries a powder cylinder and spring-loaded three-arm rockers, the latter being turnably mounted. The first arm of each of said three-arm rockers carries a driving wheel, the second arm carries an additional supporting roller, and the third arm is connected with a rod of the power cylinder.

To control the plasma arc in accordance with the present invention, the pressure change characteristics or curve in a torch is determined from the moment a plasma forming gas is delivered thereto until this plasma forming gas reaches the pressure in the supply manifold. Such a measurement is done for each selected cutting condition characterized by a constant flow rate of the plasma forming gas. The arc supply current is then fed in two stages: at first by a jump to a current amounting to approximately half the cutting current for a selected condition and then by gradually increasing the current in compliance with the pressure change characteristics or curve until the cutting current value is attained. Also described is a device to realize the method, comprising a torch pressure sensor, a means for shutting off the torch nozzle, a memory unit registering the signals of the pressure sensor and a rectifier regulator control means which controls the regulator in accordance with the sensor signals recorded in the memory unit.

A power supply source is provided for use in apparatus for the welding of workpieces. It contains several parallel - connected charge-discharge circuits connected to electrodes via a choke or resistor, each of these circuits consists of storage capacitors, elements for the switching-over of the capacitor discharge and isolating diodes with common-polarity electrodes of said diodes being interconnected and connected to the electric network via a thyristor. Such arrangement allows generating current pulses of a complex shape, including nearly rectangular shape, and provides for controlling welding thermal cycles over a wide range. The arrangement is also of a small size and weight.
