The ESAB CI-15 Idler Roller Bed is a critical component in the automation of circumferential welding processes for heavy cylindrical vessels. Designed to work in tandem with a powered drive unit, this idler unit provides the passive support necessary to rotate pipes, tanks, and pressure vessels smoothly and consistently. With a substantial load capacity of 7.5 tons, the CI-15 is engineered to handle the rigorous demands of industrial environments, including shipyards, pressure vessel fabrication shops, and pipeline construction facilities.
Constructed from high-grade steel, the frame of the CI-15 offers exceptional rigidity, preventing deflection under load which is crucial for maintaining weld seam alignment. The unit features adjustable wheel spacing, allowing operators to easily reconfigure the bed to accommodate a wide variety of workpiece diameters. This versatility makes it an invaluable asset for shops that handle diverse project specifications. The adjustment mechanism is typically a robust bolt or pin system, ensuring that once set, the wheels remain securely in place during operation.
The wheels themselves are designed to support heavy loads while minimizing rolling resistance. Depending on the specific configuration, they may feature durable rubber or polyurethane tires that provide necessary grip and protect the workpiece surface from marring, or steel wheels for high-temperature or extreme load applications. By utilizing the CI-15 Idler in your production line, you ensure that the workpiece remains stable and level, enabling the use of automated welding processes such as Submerged Arc Welding (SAW) or mechanized MIG/MAG, resulting in higher deposition rates and superior weld quality.
Integration of the ESAB CI-15 into your workflow reduces the need for constant crane usage to reposition parts, thereby enhancing shop safety and efficiency. It is a dedicated solution for fabricators seeking to optimize their welding logistics and achieve consistent, high-quality results on large-scale cylindrical projects.
