Longitudinal Seam Welding Machine Schnelldorfer LINEARWELD XLS INEX 2600

Longitudinal Seam Welding Machine Schnelldorfer LINEARWELD XLS INEX 2600


LINEARWELD XLS INEX 2600 is a powerful and versatile industrial machine for longitudinal seam welding, part of the XLS series (eXtra Large and Strong). This model is engineered for the heaviest loads and maximum reliability, offering a significant welding length of up to 2620 mm. The key advantage of the INEX series is its unique ability to join sheets up to 15 mm thick from both the internal and external sides of the workpiece. Featuring an electrically height-adjustable clamping bed and SIEMENS-based controls, the XLS INEX is the ideal platform for large-scale, complex welding tasks in the production of tanks, vessels, and heavy-duty ducting.

Features and Advantages

Feature Description
INEX Versatility Unique design allows for welding from both the inside and outside of the workpiece, providing maximum flexibility for complex assembly geometries.
Extra Large & Strong Built for extreme durability and heavy-duty industrial cycles; capable of processing material thicknesses up to 15 mm.
Adjustable Geometry Equipped with an electrically height-adjustable clamping bed, offering nearly unlimited possibilities for positioning large-diameter workpieces.
Premium Seam Quality Ensures deformation-free welding (no warping) and maintains surface integrity without discoloration (heat tint) through precise gas shielding.
Industry 4.0 Ready Intelligent HMI "neXt" system with SIEMENS components, OPC UA connectivity, Remote Access, and OEE monitoring.
Process Modularity Supports all major industrial processes: TIG, Plasma, and MIG/MAG, with various backing bar options to suit different alloys.

Standard Equipment

  • Control System: SIEMENS PLC controller and a high-resolution SIEMENS Unified Comfort Touch Panel with the HMI "neXt" interface.

  • Drive Technology: High-torque SIEMENS servo drives for precise, dynamic torch carriage movement.

  • Rigid Frame: Heavy-duty reinforced frame with an electric lift system for the clamping station.

  • Clamping System: Pneumatic system featuring a pre-clamp function for secure and accurate alignment of heavy plates.

  • Mandrel & Cooling: Specialized mandrel with a quick-change system for the backing bar and an integrated cooling circuit for the torch and mandrel.

  • Gas Delivery: Integrated systems for Backing Gas (through the mandrel) and Torch Gas for comprehensive weld pool protection.

Options

  • Welding Enhancements: Cold Wire Feeder, AVC (Automatic Voltage Control), Torch Oscillation Unit, Dual torch setup (TIG & MAG), and modules for Plasma-Keyhole or Laser welding.

  • Automation & Logistics: Insertion aids for workpiece positioning, barcode scanners for instant program recall, and Remote Access routers for off-site diagnostics.

  • Advanced Control: Sm@rt Server functions, OPC UA data collection, and expanded memory for up to 200 welding programs.

  • Custom Tooling: Various backing bar types (UNI, SOFT, STRONG) and specialized mandrels (e.g., stepped) for non-standard geometries.

  • Quality Monitoring: Integrated digital recording device for all critical welding data.
