Abstract

893,955. Welding by fusion. MITCHELL, SHACKLETON & CO. Ltd. Oct. 14, 1958 [Jan. 24, 1958], No. 2524/58. Class 83 (4). Apparatus for welding together parts of a crank-shaft using a submerged arc-welding head positioned above the joint to be welded, rotates the crank-shaft at a speed related to the number of deposited layers of weld so that the peripheral speed of the weld surface remains substantially constant as the joint is filled up. At the same time the welding head is moved away from the axis of rotation of the crankshaft. The crank-shaft 9 is supported on rollers 2 as described in Specification 893,356, and the welding head 5 is mounted on a beam 4 movable longitudinally of the crank-shaft to deposit beads side-by-side in the joint as is described in Specification 893,357. A motor 6 rotates the crank-shaft through a variablespeed device 7, providing continuous or stepby-step variations under control of a gear 11 driven by a gear 30 connected to the motor 6, so reducing speed as the welding progresses. The welding head 5 is moved vertically on its slide by a threaded rod 26 and nut 27 or a rack and pinion through a shaft 16 carried on the beam 4 and driven by the motor 6. If the head 5 is moved longitudinally of the crankshaft to lay a second bead, the speed is automatically increased and the head 5 is lowered. When a joint is welded the welding head 5 is traversed along the beam 4. The operation may be controlled by an electronic, hydraulic or other programmer.
