NEW KEY PLANT AUTOMATION ADR SERIES

Integrate your welding rotators and turning rolls with automated anti-drift systems.

Anti-drift rotator systems (ADR series) correct and minimize workpiece drift, whilst maintaining a constant center line height position. Originally developed for the nuclear industry, Key Plant anti-drift systems are designed to suit a range of applications and processes, such as; narrow gap welding, continuous overlay welding and long periods of vessel pre-heating.

The anti-drift system controls both wheel carriages and continually monitors the vessel position through a sensor on the edge of the workpiece. Our anti-drift system can control the workpiece to +/- 1mm. The sensor detects any movement of the workpiece either towards or away from it, and instructs the rotators to counter the drift, restricting the lateral movement of the weld seam.
