HOGI Automatic Longitudinal Seam Welding Machine
HOGI Manufacturer presents the horizontal lifting longitudinal seam automatic welding machine, a general-purpose solution built for high-quality, deformation-free butt-joint welding of cylindrical bodies, flat plates, and open-ended square boxes from 0.6mm to 4mm wall thickness. Compatible with argon arc (TIG), MAG, or laser welding sources, this system covers carbon steel, cold galvanized sheet, and stainless steel fabrication.
- Multi-process flexibility: Configure the system with TIG (filler or non-filler wire), MAG, or laser welding sources to match your material and throughput needs — one platform, multiple welding processes.
- Motorized height adjustment: The main beam raises and lowers electrically to accommodate different pipe fitting sizes, reducing manual handling and speeding up loading with dual linear guide sliders for stronger load-bearing capacity.
- Stable, repeatable welds: One-piece spindle with built-in copper bar and split full-copper platen, driven by PLC control, TBI linear guide and ball screw for smooth, consistent welding motion.
- Flexible torch control: Pneumatic torch lifting with fine up/down and left/right adjustment, plus pneumatic clutch travel mechanism for quick torch positioning without touch-screen programming.

HOGI Longitudinal Seam Welder — Technical Advantages
PLC-Controlled Motion System: The host control system runs on PLC for stable, highly reliable operation. The welding torch travels on TBI linear guide and TBI ball screw, ensuring smooth motion throughout each weld pass.
Adjustable Positioning Column: The main beam’s electric ascending/descending mechanism adapts to different pipe fitting sizes, cutting manual handling time and speeding up loading with dual linear guide sliders for stronger load capacity.
Copper Backing for Weld Quality: The bottom spindle sets into a copper groove with a backside guarantee device to control weld melting depth. The airbag compression device uses flexible copper plate pressure to maintain thermal conductivity across the weld surface.
Multi-Process Welding Source: Standard configuration includes a Panasonic YC-400TX IGBT-controlled DC TIG arc welding power source. TIG (with or without filler wire), MAG, or laser welding sources can be selected based on your material and application.
Segmented or Continuous Welding: The system supports both continuous and segmented welding passes with high control precision, giving operators flexibility for different seam lengths and joint types.

Technical Principles: The HOGI longitudinal seam welding machine uses a single‑axis PLC control system to drive the welding torch along the seam via TBI linear guides and ball screws. The welding table and truss can be adjusted motorized for different part heights, while pneumatic systems lift the welding gun and inverted head to reduce manual handling. With optional TIG, MAG or laser sources, the system provides stable arc or laser heat input for butt welding of cylinders, flat plates and square boxes, ensuring uniform seams with minimal deformation.
Technical Highlights
1. Precision and Consistency: Single‑axis PLC control combined with TBI linear guides and ball screws ensures stable torch travel and repeatable positioning accuracy of ±0.2 mm, delivering consistent longitudinal seams on cylindrical and box‑shaped parts.
2. Fast Pneumatic Response: Pneumatic lifting of the welding gun and inverted head provides quick, reliable actuation with minimal mechanical wear. The pneumatic clutch travel mechanism allows rapid torch positioning along the seam without complex programming.
3. High Efficiency for Batch Production: Welding speed of 3–5 mm/s, combined with program storage for up to 999 sets, enables fast changeover between different diameters and lengths, improving overall production efficiency for multi‑size orders.
4. Simple Structure, Low Maintenance: The mechanical structure relies on linear guides, ball screws and pneumatic components, without complex hydraulic systems. Routine maintenance mainly involves lubrication of guide rails and periodic inspection of pneumatic and electrical connections.
