LE.DI.CA.: two new welding systems for thick-walled pipes delivered to Turkey and India

LE.DI.CA., a leading company in the design and production of customized welding solutions for tubes and pipes, continues to expand its international presence.

The company has recently delivered two new systems to the Turkish and Indian markets, designed for welding thick-walled pipes classified as ASTM A358 CL-1, CL-2, and CL-5, with diameters ranging from 160 to 505 mm. These systems incorporate a series of technological innovations that allow for simultaneous external and internal welding of the pipes, optimizing the entire production process. Let’s take a closer look!

Plasma Key-Hole technology for external welding of thick-walled pipes

External welding is performed in a single pass using a PLASMA-PLASMA-TIG tricathode torch with cold filler wire, leveraging Plasma Key-Hole technology. The cold wire acts as a filler material and is directly melted by the heat of the welding torch. This technique can weld pipes with up to 12 mm thick, head-to-head, and ensures a high-quality, durable, and homogeneous joint, free from inclusions. It optimizes the number of passes required, significantly reducing both operational times and production costs. This technology is ideal for projects demanding optimized mechanical performance in complex industrial applications.

Inside welding torch with with additional cold filler wire and built-in camera

Another key feature of the two LE.DI.CA. systems delivered to Turkey and India is the inside TIG torch with cold filler wire, which is equipped with a built-in camera. This torch is used for welding the weld seam inside the tube, refining the previously welded joint by eliminating defects like inclusions, thus ensuring a higher quality final product. The torch is designed for clean, precise operation.

Thanks to the camera mounted directly on the torch, operators can closely monitor the welding process, ensuring real-time control of the joint’s quality.

Additionally, the magnetic arc oscillator ensures precise distribution of the weld bead, further enhancing quality and continuity.

Efficient and safe solutions for industrial welding

LE.DI.CA. remains a reliable global partner, providing technological solutions that not only improve process efficiency but also ensure high operator safety standards. The combination of Plasma Key-Hole technology with the insidel TIG torch for refining ensures fast, high-quality, and safe welding, meeting the increasing challenges of the industry.
