Climax BW3000 AUTOBOREWELDER – PORTABLE BORE WELDING MACHINE - Manual

BW3000 AutoBoreWelder
Advanced Automated Step Welding System
for Bore, Flange, and Valve repair.
The Climax BW3000 AutoBoreWelder is an
automated step welding system that provides
a new degree of welding performance and
precision. Weld time is dramatically reduced
while producing precise, uniform, high quality
welds as compared to hand welding techniques.
Unmatched Weld Quality and Precision
• Provides complete weld coverage at the start
and finish of the bore
• Reaches up to 5 feet (152.4 cm) into the bore.
Using torch extension support, can extend
upward using extended reach torch options.
• Lays up to 5 lbs (2.27 kg) of metal per hour.
• Arc time increases 50 - 100% over hand-
welding, cutting weld time in half.
Built-In Cost Savings
• Precise, uniform welds means less wire is
consumed, reducing cost.
• All configurations come ready for a push-pull
wire feeder which prevents wire buckling and
waste when using low column-strength wire.
• Consistent and uniform weld reduces cutting
tool wear, reducing cutting time by up to 50%.
Single Point PLC-Based Control System Enhances
Operator Safety and Control of Welding Process
• Adjust all welding functions from one central
location.
• Weld operator safety is enhanced by allowing
operator to stand back from the weld as it is
being laid.
• Quickly adjust “step” size and direction, rotation
speed and direction, wire feed rate, arc voltage,
arc interrupt, contractor control, gas purge and
extended utilization of Auto-Skip function.
Flexible and Versatile
• Welds in any orientation: vertical, horizontal, or
inverted.
• Allows alternating of uphill and downhill welds
in a horizontal bore when welding multiple
passes
• Patented “offset head” provides radial
adjustments of the torch while maintaining
proper torch angle in relation to the work
piece.
• Wide range of travel speeds and amperage for
challenging in-field conditions or working with
exotic metals.
• With proper options, can weld with any wire -
stelite, nickel, exotic metals.
• Can be configured to perform clad overlay with
nickel alloys, bronze, and exotic metals.
• Four operating modes available: Auto-Skip,
Pie, Carriage Return, and Contiuous Weld.
• Patented step process outperforms spiral
welding by providing complete weld coverage
with infinitely adjustable step, allowing bead
placement from 0.40 - 0.220 inches (1.0 - 5.6 mm).
• Auto-skip feature allows “weld only” or “skip
only” areas to be designated.
• Allows rapid completion of work on out-of-
round bores, bores with keyways.
• Precisely welds conical valve seats.
One Setup for Welding & Boring
• Climax BoreWelder Interface Kit simplifies the
boring & welding setup process.
• Quickly attach the BW3000 AutoBoreWelder
directly to the Climax BB3000, BB4500 or
BB5000 Boring Machine mounting fixtures.
• Interface kit makes it easy to switch between
bore welding and line boring without losing
bearing alignment.
• Interface kit ensures perfect alignment for both
welding and machining.
• One setup for both welding and boring saves
time and gets the job done quickly.
Weld & Bore at the Same Time
• Weld one section while boring out another,
using multiple bearing mounts.
• Simultaneous operation cuts work time in half!
Rugged, Fitted Protective Case for Easy, Safe
Transport:
• Packaged in heavy-duty, shock-resistant
case for safe, dust and water-proof storage,
convenient organization and easy transport
of the BW3000 AutoBoreWelder and its
components.
• Select from shop-style wire feeder, or
enclosed field-style wire feeder in shock-
resistent waterproof case.
