Swept outlet similar to ANSI B 16.19 / ANSI B 36.10 Swept outlets in pipeline construction A swept outlet is used in pipeline construction just like a welding outlet, a socket welded outlet or a threaded outlet for a 90 ° branch. A swept outlet is an alternative to the T-piece / red. In comparison to the T-piece / Red.Tee, the installation effort for a swept outlet is lower because only one hole has to be drilled into a pipe. The swept outlet can then be welded into this hole. A swept outlet differs from a welding outlet in the type of welding. While a welding outlet is only placed on the run pipe and then welded, a swept outlet is welded directly into the run pipe. Ideal stress distribution Swept outlets were developed in order to achieve the best possible stress distribution for internal pressure and pipe forces. Due to the favorable voltage level, swept outlets are often used in highly stressed pipes in the oil and gas industry.

The mta OEM soldering robot for integrator can be used for semi or fully automatic operations of selective point to point soldering from above. Thanks to its unique concept, the OEM robot is delivered to the system’s manufacturer with a process guarantee. The OEM robot can be equipped with any of mta’s soldering heads: soldering iron, induction, microflame; except for the mta MLH45 laser head. The 3 or 4 axes of the OEM robot are fully programmable through the mta-MotionEditor software, including soldering parameters such as: Solder quantity, wire feed speed, preheating/postheating times, automatic tip cleaning cycle intervals and other parameters for each soldered point. With its flexible and modular concept, the OEM robot can be fully and easily integrated into a production line.

The TR300 is mta’s table-top soldering robot platform. This robot is purpose-built and standardized for semi-automated applications that require point-to-point soldering. The table-top platform is a cost-effective solution to automate existing hand-soldering processes without the cost of fully-automated systems. Automating the solder process has several advantages over hand soldering. It produces highly consist joints, improved quality, higher throughput, and it requires less skill and training than hand soldering. This table-top soldering robot platform is also ideal for applications where human dexterity is required to position the parts. This is because operators can load and unload the parts in offline fixtures to minimize machine downtime. Because the TR300 is a purpose-built solution, it can support any of mta’s soldering heads without compromise. The ball-screw axis and motors provide fast repeatable motion.

As a complement or an alternative to wave, mini-wave and traditional selective soldering techniques, the MPS700 bottom side selective soldering machine provides maximum accessibility and meets mass production requirements of quality, reliability and cycle times. The iron head is equipped with a powerful heating element and a high precision wire feeder. The solder point positions are adjusted using a compact vision system close to the iron head. A 4-axis system guarantees quick and precise movements. The MPS700 can be equipped with mta classic soldering iron head and MSH150 soldering iron head.
