Clad nozzle is a combination of carbon steel flanged pipe, with a 3 to 4 mm thick stainless steel layer on the inner surface. It combines the physical properties of carbon steel with the anti-corrosive properties of stainless steel. Hence these pipes are used extensively used in process plants.

Project Highlights:

• Designed and developed robotic arm for depositing steel in a spiral fashion
  
• Designed and developed TIG welding torch for reliable welding in a confined space
  
• Developed computer controlled operation sequence for motion control of weld tip
  
• Developed computer interface to automate welding parameters setup
  
• Developed several AI routines for error trapping and handling

Result :

The special purpose machine was developed deployed and tested at site. The system has completed 3 years in service
