2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, the problems to be solved by the invention
There is an automatic welding machine that moves the welding torch that welds the mating edge of the roll plate from one end of the mating edge to the other end, but accurately setting the roll plate on this automatic welding machine is done manually, This set requires highly skilled technology,
It is a very troublesome work and very inefficient,
It was also a dangerous work that could cause injury to the hands.

In this setting operation, a roll plate is laterally fitted and inserted into a support rod (core bar) installed on the machine body, and a skilled writer first uses one pressing fixing plate provided on the machine body to fix the roll plate. One side of the mating edge is pressed against the support rod and fixed.

Then, the other side of the mating edge is accurately butted against one side edge of the mating edge of the roll plate fixed by pressing, and one end of the mating edge is held by hand so as not to be misaligned. However, (specifically, they are abutted at the welding start end (front end), and gradually a slight gap is formed to widen toward the rear end, and there is no dimensional deviation from the front end to the rear end due to the heat effect during welding. Butt welding is performed.) In this state, the other pressing fixing plate facing the pressing fixing plate presses and fixes the other side of the mating edge of the roll plate to the support rod body, so that it can be done accurately and accurately. It takes a great deal of skill and is a tedious task.

Further, when the setting work is completed, the mating edges are automatically welded by the welding torch, but after the welding work is completed, the roll plate is removed and the roller is formed in order to eliminate the beat generated in the welded portion of the roll plate. It had to be replaced with a beat crusher by one, which was very troublesome.
