Haeusler Crocodile Clamping and Welding Device

The HAEUSLER Crocodile can be classified as a mobile work centre which, when assembling cylinders, enters one cylinder at a time, positions it correctly with the help of individually adjustable rotating rollers and then welds it over its entire circumference. Due to the very simple positioning and clamping of the cylinders, time savings of up to 85% can be achieved compared to the manual process.

Work Sequence

Loading the rotating rollers with the 1st and 2nd shell
Retracting the HAEUSLER crocodile between the two shells
Sliding together shell 2 and shell1 butt-to-end by means of slide
Longitudinal and radial alignment of the butt joint and manual stapling of the two shells
Raising the clamping jaws and retracting the HAEUSLER crocodile
Lifting the section at the rear end from the rotating roller device
Advancing the section and depositing the rear end of the section centrally on the divided, driven roller block device
Returning the HAEUSLER crocodile to the rearmost position for loading the next shell
Load the next shell and start according to step 2 to step 8
