The application relates to the technical field of
plasma arc welding, in particular to a positioning
welding equipment and method for bridge
steel structures, which mainly comprises a
plasma arc equipment, a lifting mechanism is arranged on the
plasma arc equipment, a horizontal moving mechanism is arranged on the lifting mechanism, the lifting mechanism can drive the horizontal moving mechanism to move in the vertical direction, and a translation mechanism is arranged on the horizontal moving mechanism. The movable
welding frame length can be adjusted through the spliced joint head-to-
tail insertion and length adjusting lever, different lengths of bridge steel structural members can be adapted, and the problem that the length of the traditional integrated
welding table is unchangeable is solved; the movable welding frame is driven to overturn around the adjusting base plate through the
deflection angle mechanism, the first positioning probe detects the inclination of the welding surface, the automatic
adaptation of the inclination angle is realized, the complex operation of manually arranging the
cushion block is replaced, the
adaptation range covers steel structural members with different sizes and different inclination angles, the
adaptation is better, and the limitation is smaller.
