  • Submerged arc welding system with pressurized flux delivery and welding torch
    Patent number: 9085043
    Abstract: A submerged arc welding system includes a robot having a first arm connected to a second arm, and at least one wire supply. A welding torch is connected to a first end of the second arm of the robot. A wire motor is mounted to a second end of the second arm of the robot. The wire motor moves wire from the wire supply along a wire path to the welding torch. The system further includes a flux supply and a flux delivery system configured to move flux from the flux supply along a flux path to the welding torch.

  • Submerged arc welding system with pressurized flux delivery and welding torch
    Patent number: 8552329
    Abstract: A submerged arc welding system. In one embodiment, the submerged arc welding system includes a robot, a flux supply distal from the robot, and at least one wire supply distal from the robot. The system also includes a welding torch connected to the robot, a wire path connecting the wire supply to the welding torch, and a flux path connecting the flux supply to the welding torch. A flux delivery system is configured to move flux from the flux supply to the welding torch. At least one vent is disposed on the flux path adjacent the welding torch, to evacuate air from the flux path.
