Internal elbow welds
The articulated arm reaches inside curved elbows of different radii.
Elbow Welding System
DIG Column and Boom Elbow Welding System
Column and boom with articulated arm for internal welding of curved elbows
The DIG column and boom elbow welding system welds the inside of curved pipe elbows. A five-section articulated arm on the boom follows the elbow radius, and TIG, MIG/MAG or SAW welding can be used.

Overview
An articulated arm for inside elbow seams
Column and boom manipulators carry out circular or longitudinal welds with TIG, MIG/MAG or SAW. An elevation mechanism raises or lowers the column to set the boom height for different workpieces and weld positions.
For curved elbows, an articulated arm is mounted at the end of the crossbeam. Its five hinged sections can be angled and locked, so the arm takes the shape of the elbow radius. A motor slide kit and an electric rotary bearing give three degrees of freedom for different welding postures.
Applications
Welding jobs for the system
DIG designed the system for curved elbows and column and boom seam work.
Circular and longitudinal seams
The column and boom positions the torch for round and straight welds.
Shipbuilding
Automated welding of pipe elbows and shell parts.
