Vietnamese Engineers Create Lower Cost Welding Machines Than Same Imports

Designed by 2 Vietnamese engineers, those welding machines with cost and time advantages will soon come into market.

Dr. Nguyen Thanh Phuong from Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology and Dr. Nguyen Van Hieu, deputy director of A41 aircraft repair factory have created an automatic pipe welding machine with much lower production cost than the same imports. This locally made welder will aid engineers in saving money and time for operation and maintenance.

Made-in-Vietnam automatic pipe welding machine

The robust development of Vietnam’s industries has resulted in much higher demand for welders, welding equipment, and state-of-the-art welding technology. All the welding equipment for pipe shaped metal components have been imported, which financially challenges enterprises. Indeed, just foreign-invested companies and large corporations can afford buying the technologies and machines. 

The two engineers kicked off work on an automatic pipe welding machine with high cost efficiency and higher productivity than the conventional welding methods.

This machine consists of 3 parts – those are, electrical-electronic, mechanical, and operation units. Each of them has its own function.

The machine base is designed in a way that enables operators to put it in the areas with different terrain. It can run with one-phase and three-phase AC power sources.

This product has come into operation at shopfloors of A41 factory – a unit of Ministry of National Defence.
