A method and apparatus for mechanically controlling the flame cutting and/or connection welding of workpieces. The difficulty encountered during the mechanized burning of holes in vessels, containers or tanks and the welding of connecting members into these holes is that the cutting and welding apparatus need to be guided in such a way that not only do they not contact the surface of the vessel, container or tank, but they are also kept a fixed distance from this surface. Therefore, control of the cutting and/or welding process is effected in conformity with the actual dimensions of the workpiece that is being worked on. In particular, this control is undertaken in conformity with the circumferential line of the hole for a given connecting member, and also in conformity with the curved surface of the vessel, container or tank. The peripheral line of the connecting member is first sensed and is graphically or electromagnetically recorded. The subsequent control of the cutting and/or welding process is then effected by following this recorded line.
A method for controlled flame-cutting burning-out of a hole of a workpiece with a curved surface and a welding-in of a cylindrical second workpiece into the hole, with which during the flame cutting out respectively welding, the required tool is pivoted about an axis of the second workpiece and is moved corresponding to a circumferential line of the second workpiece parallel to the axis of the second workpiece, especially for flame cutting-out of connecting-member holes, in vessels, containers, tanks and the like, for connecting members, and the welding-in of connecting members into the connecting-member holes;
A method for controlled flame-cutting burning-out of a hole of a workpiece with a curved surface and a welding-in of a cylindrical second workpiece into the hole, with which during the flame cutting out respectively welding, the required tool is pivoted about an axis of the second workpiece and is moved corresponding to a circumferential line of the second workpiece parallel to the axis of the second workpiece, especially for flame cutting out of connecting-member holes in containers, vessel, tanks and the like and welding-in of connecting members into the connecting-member holes, said method comprising the steps of:
An apparatus for mechanically controlling the flame cutting and/or connection welding of workpieces, especially the cutting-out of holes, in tanks, for connecting members, and the welding of connecting members into these holes;
An apparatus for controlled flame cutting out of a hole in a workpiece with a curved surface and welding of a cylindrical second workpiece into the hole, with which during the flame cutting out respectively welding the required tool is pivoted about the axis of the second workpiece and is moved corresponding to the circumferential line of the second workpiece parallel to the axis of the second workpiece, especially for flame cutting out of connecting-member holes in containers, vessels, tanks and the like and welding-in of connecting members into connecting-member holes, comprising, a control unit arranged horizontally and vertically shiftable on a carrier, said control device being connectable with an apparatus carrier for receiving a burning-respectively welding device as well as a sensing element connected therewith.
