Transformer Radiator Assembly Fixture

Product Introduction

The Transformer Radiator Assembly Fixture is designed for assembling transformer radiator panels into complete radiator banks before header pipe welding.

The fixture accurately positions multiple radiator panels according to preset spacing and provides hydraulic clamping to hold the panel stack and header pipes in the correct position during welding.

With precision locating combs, adjustable panel pitch, and stable hydraulic clamping, the equipment ensures consistent radiator assembly quality and improves welding accuracy.

It is an essential assembly solution for transformer manufacturers producing large radiator banks with multiple panels.

Position in Transformer Radiator Production Line

The Transformer Radiator Assembly Fixture is installed after the automatic stacking process and before radiator turnover and final welding operations.

Typical production process:

Steel Coil Feeding → Hydraulic Mandrel Decoiler → Radiator Panel Roll Forming → Panel Turnover & Joining → Multi-Spot Welding → Dual Seam Welding → Edge Trimming → End Cutting → End Welding → Straightening & Leveling → Automatic Stacking → Header Pipe Assembly

After individual radiator panels are produced and stacked automatically, the fixture organizes the panels into a complete radiator bank.

The fixture controls:

• Panel spacing
• Header pipe positioning
• Welding alignment

ensuring stable assembly before welding.

Key Features

1. Accurate Panel Pitch Control

The locating comb maintains consistent panel spacing during assembly.

• Standard pitch: 45 mm
• Optional: 40 mm

This ensures uniform radiator structure and simplifies downstream welding operations.

2. Hydraulic Positioning and Clamping

The hydraulic clamping system applies stable pressure along the radiator bank, keeping panels and header pipes accurately positioned during welding.

3. Large Radiator Assembly Capacity

The fixture supports:

• Maximum radiator length: 4000 mm
• Maximum panels per group: 40 panels

Suitable for large transformer radiator assemblies.

4. Heavy-Duty Base Structure

The fixture uses a robust welded structure with:

• 16 channel steel
• 6 mm steel plate
• 16 mm locating comb teeth

providing sufficient rigidity during assembly and welding.

5. Flexible Welding Application

The fixture can be used with:

• Manual tack welding
• Vertical seam welding fixture

according to production requirements.
