WIND TOWER
HIGH PRODUCTIVITY
WELDING SOLUTIONS
Reduce Arc Time By Up to 75%
Wind Power
The demand for wind power is continually accelerating. As a result, the need for efficiency in tower fabrication has become more prominent. Lincoln Electric leads the industry with revolutionary power sources, specially engineered consumables, unmatched application and process knowledge, and globally available technical support and distribution.
Wind Tower Fabrication Operations
As part of its integrated solutions, Lincoln Electric works with customers to provide custom systems to offer maximum productivity and efficiency. In order to provide the best in welding automation systems and workpiece handling equipment, we partner with a number of companies with specific expertise in related fields and, when appropriate, integrate their systems and equipment into a full welding solution, and provide single source responsibility for your total satisfaction.
Long Stick Out
In submerged arc welding, Stick Out, is the distance between the contact tip and the work piece. This distance can be increased using dedicated extensions of various lengths to obtain what is known as Long Stick Out (LSO). The wire electrical resistance increases with its length. Thanks to the “Joules” effect, the electrode is pre-heated and melts faster than it would, at the same amperage, with standard Stick Out.
Solution Benefits
High quality welding results
Excellent bead appearance
Highest deposition rates
Deep penetration
Increased productivity
The long stick out process is the most productive of the single power source processes. With Triple Arc AC LSO, over 200 hours can be saved per tonne of welding wire deposited compared to Single Arc DC+.
Subarc Equipment
The Power Wave® AC/DC 1000® SD is the power source of choice for the most efficient wind tower manufacturers.
It delivers Waveform Control Technology® to submerged arc welding. Software-driven AC, DC positive or DC negative output allows the user to control the deposition rate and penetration. The advantage over conventional power sources is higher deposition rates without an increase in heat input, increased weld speeds, improved mechanical properties, lower electrical energy consumption, and easy set up and controls in a single or multi-arc applications.
Today’s lean manufacturing environment demands accountability, constant monitoring and quality control. Lincoln Electric’s proprietary software makes it easy to ensure the highest quality and efficiency.
