ZF-500 automatic longitudinal seam welding machine is specially designed for straight seam welding of cylindrical tanks, pressure vessels, water tanks, palm oil storage barrels and conical tubes with weld length within 500mm.
Adopts cantilever annealing frame + full pneumatic key pressing mechanism, evenly compresses workpiece along weld line to reduce welding deformation. Equipped with water-cooled copper mandrel for back gas protection, realizing single-sided welding & double-sided forming without secondary polishing.
All motion axes driven by servo motor, stable travel speed 0.2-2.2m/min, PLC English touch screen stores 99 groups of welding parameters, one-key recall for mass production. Widely matched stainless steel, carbon steel, aluminum alloy, perfectly fit small & medium tank manufacturers, palm oil factories, water heater production lines from Southeast Asia, Middle East, Latin America.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What workpieces can this ZF-500 welder process?
A: It is suitable for stainless steel, carbon steel and aluminum cylinders within 500mm welding length, including water tanks, palm oil storage tanks, small pressure vessels, lamp posts and boiler barrels. The workpiece inner diameter ranges from 65mm to 900mm, welding thickness 0.3-6mm.
Q2: Does the machine realize single-sided welding double-sided forming?
A: Yes. It comes with water-cooled copper mandrel and argon back protection. The weld surface is smooth without secondary grinding, greatly cutting post-processing costs.
Q3: Is the control panel available in English?
A: Standard English PLC touch screen. It can save 99 groups of welding parameters for one-click calling during mass production. We also support other language customization on request.
Q4: Can I customize parts or functions of the machine?
A: Full customization supported. We can adjust welding length, workpiece diameter range, upgrade hydraulic clamping, add laser seam tracking, and match TIG/MIG/Plasma welding power sources. Voltage can be modified to 220V/415V for different countries.
Q5: What supporting equipment can be matched with this straight seam welder?
A: It can form a complete production line with our welding turning rollers, welding positioners and circumferential seam welding machines. We provide whole-line solution design.
Q6: How long is the warranty period?
A: Core electrical and transmission parts enjoy 1-year warranty. We supply free spare parts within warranty and offer lifelong online technical guidance.
