Range of roller beds

ESAB has launched a range of roller beds to help improve the productivity and quality of round fabrications such as wind turbine towers, pipelines and vessels.

All of these welding automation products are robust and are designed to withstand harsh conditions.

Customers have a wide choice, with sizes and features to suit diverse applications. The roller beds can be used in conjunction with ESAB's A2- A6 process controller PEK system for submerged arc welding, GMAW welding and arc gouging.

Depending on the model, maximum load capacity ranges from 2.5 to 60t per section and the roller beds can handle component diameters from 150mm to 8.4m.

Models include the CD 5-120 and CI 5-120 for relatively simple applications. These are conventional roller beds (driven and idler types), with features such as rollers with durable polyurethane tyres and oversized bearings. A solid-state inverter gives precise speed control, and a cast steel gearbox with double worm gears gives smooth operation.

For those who need a complete Fit-Up Bed, the FUB 30 consists of one powered and one ideler bed, four independently adjustable rollers and a robust frame.
