Rail-welding machine B120AC
BAIDIN GmbH offers suspension-type AC flash butt rail-welding machine B120AC. It provides in-field flash welding of rails by continuous or pulsating burning-off, followed by flash trimming. Rail cross sectional area ranges from 6500mm2 to 12000mm2.
The welder B120AC can be powered from AC mains, diesel-generator plant and motor-generator set.
Advantages of the flash butt welder B120AC:
- The guaranteed high stability of welding quality according to the European standard EN 14587-2
- Powerful performance
- Completely automated process of rails centering
- Completely automated process of welding
- Possibility to weld the long strings of welded rails direct on the way due to big travel (150 mm) of the welding machine mobile case (tightening of strings).
- Completely automated and independent process of rag cutting (flash) without unclamping movement of both ends of the welded rails
- Computer documenting (certification) of each welding seam (joint) with registration of all operational parameters
The primary side of a welding transformers of a machine is powered by a 3-to-1 phase converter. This converter rectify 3-phase genset voltage and creates a single-phase 50 Hz sinusoidal voltage. This innovative solution creates more uniform load on a genset, without major imbalance. Also this solution enables on-the-fly regulation and stabilization of the primary voltage on welding transformers.
More than that, use of such converter for a voltage regulation allow one to refuse from using SCR regulation and bulky autotransformers, while maintaining more favorable conditions for welding process, as the current is sinusoidal also.
