Welding automat EWR 500.28
MACHINE VARIANTS
Necesary choice
The green color indicates an element or the part that have to be installed to the machine in one of the offered variants already during its production and the machine cannot be forward into the operation without it, or order it.
Construction surcharge
Yellow coloring means an element or the part which have to be installed into the machine in some of the offered variants already during its production. In principle it is a device extending functionality.
Free equipment
The gray coloration indicates an element or the part which is possible to fit the machine at any time later. Assembly is possible by the end user. In principle it is an equipment which expands functionality.
Purpose of machine is to work in precise production of light machine components, measuring and laboratory equipment, etc. Machine is remarkable for its precision and sophisticated design which guarantees welding results comparable with standard single - purpose machine construction. Precise construction and factory adjustment of parallelism within tolerance of <0,2mm enables the welding of small and precise parts. In addition, the spindles holes offers the possibility of welding tubular and rod material or forming root of the weld with an inert gas. The RCS 06 control system brings to the operator perfect functionality for full automation of the rotary welding process.

EWR WATCHMAKER 500.28 is precise rotary welding automat with maximum turning diameter of 340 mm and maximum static loading of 25 kg. The distance between the spindle flanges is 500mm. EWR WATCHMAKER machines are suitable for PLASMA WELD, TIG, or LASER, not for MIG/MAG.
- Automat can be supplied in three production versions - Mk.I, Mk.II, or Mk.III. The spindle speed range for Mk.I version is set higher for rather lighter products of smaller diameter for rotation at higher speed however less torque is available. The Mk.II version has universal torque and spindle speed range for use with the standard sizes of welded products. The spindle speed range of Mk.III version is set lower. However higher torque is available for use with bulkier products of larger diameters with weight closer to the maximum allowed loading of automat. Therefore the choice of version should depend on the expected use.
-
Tailstock can be equipped with own drive. Main spindle and tailstock drives are synchronized and designed as backlash-free. The stepper motor spins precise planetary gearbox that propel belt and gears wheels with transverse teeth. Main spindle and tailstock have the same standardized flanges with 28mm hole for mounting of 125mm universal chuck.
-
Tailstock pressure is designed as linear with drawbar with precise mechanical adjustment of pressure force by nut and control lever or can be equipped with automated pneumatic pressure.
-
The whole central beam can be tilted in the range of 0 - 90°. Tilting is control manually with handle through snail gearbox. Therefore it is possible to accurately set any of the positions in order to optimize the welding process.
-
Welding arm has pneumatic stroke and three degress of releasing. At the end of the arm there is precise support of the torch position with backlash-free adjustment in two axes +/- 15 mm and the possibility of rotation by 90° with position locking.
-
Machine can be equipped with cold wire feeder HST CREATIVE CW 03. The cold wire feeder is fully controlled by the RCS06 control system and brings to the operator the maximum possibilities of setting of the feeding parameters including the reversation of the feeding of the wire.
-
Significant simplification for the operator can be the equipment of the machine with a special digital Remote Control Mighty Controller which increases the flexibility and variability of the basic machine.
-
Automat is controlled by the excellent control system RCS 06 which provides all conceivable functions for circumferential welding, including accelerations and decelerations of rotary movement, control of the welding source with separate programming and advanced functions of regulation of welding power. The possibility of saving programs and creating program compilations underline the sophistication of the control system.

- Welding torch manual tilt button.
- Button for manual closing of the pneumatic elements (for example tailstock pressing).
WELDED PARTS
- The machine is a universal and sophisticated production unit with the ability to weld any of the industrial production within the dimensional and weight limits of the machine. It is possible to perform rotary circumferential welds, fillet welds in the PA / PB position thanks to the tilting tailstock (only in the case of some of the machines) and it is also possible to perform full-fledged longitudinal welds (only the machines with controlled X axis).
- Typical is the production of pressure and non-pressure tanks from all materials with all of the methods of arc welding with the exception of the SAW method. Thanks to the high overall accuracy the machine enables welding of machine parts, flanges, shafts, heat exchangers, tube sheets.
- The machine is able to work in a layered screw welding mode (only the some machines) on the surface of the cylinder and also on the surface of the plate by the spiral layered welding tilted to the 90° (only the machines equipped with the tilting tailstock). Spiral layered welding has interpolated rotation and torch movement - change spindle rotation speed depending on the current diameter. The special software also provides the possibility of welding individual layers of layered welds (it uses a controlled Z axis of the torch stroke). It is also possible to equip the machine with the controlled preheating system of the welded part with digital surface temperature measurement.
TIPS FOR BETTER USE
- An excellent addition is the sophisticated Mighty Controler remote control. It is a freely programmable device by which is possible to control all of the necessary machine functions directly during the welding.
- The control system of the machine is well developed, it provides on-line information about the current rotation speed and the current progress speed. Operating is done using the standard multi-layer MENU.
- Software compilations provide perfect possibilities for fully automated production composite of many different welds.
- Double Torch versions does not restrict the users in the production of technologically complex products and aplications. One method can be used for welding of the root of the weld, another one can be used for the covering layers.
- The tilting tailstock significantly expands the usability of the machine by position welding at angles of 0 - 90°.
- Digital cold wire feeders provide precise welding results in the widest range of applications.
