In a butt fusion welding system, the equipment is generally composed of core components and auxiliary configurations.
The machine frame, facer, heating plate, and hydraulic unit are the essential core elements required to complete the welding process and together form a complete butt fusion system.
In this article, “standard accessories” refers to the auxiliary configurations beyond these core components. Their purpose is to improve adaptability, operational safety, and convenience under real job-site conditions.
During the design of the FX series, one principle has been consistently followed:
only accessories that are repeatedly and inevitably used on real construction sites are included as standard.
The FX series is supplied with modular clamp inserts as standard, allowing the machine to accommodate different pipe diameters within its operating range.
This design is intended to reduce the need for frequent replacement of complete clamp sets and to improve efficiency when switching between pipe sizes.
In practical use, clamp inserts serve not only to hold the pipe, but also to maintain stable and repeatable alignment during repeated clamping operations.
An accumulator is included as a standard configuration to support hydraulic system stability during operation.
In large-diameter welding applications, the system is often exposed to continuous and repeated loading. The accumulator helps smooth system response and reduce uncertainty caused by pressure fluctuations.
Although this component may not stand out in technical specifications, its value becomes evident during extended engineering use.
Support shoes are supplied as standard with the FX series to assist with pipe or component support and movement during on-site operations.
While they are not directly involved in the welding process itself, they help reduce operator workload and maintain workflow continuity during positioning and adjustment.
Their usefulness lies in how well they align with actual job-site practices rather than in added complexity.
For FX series machines in the 800–1200 size range, certain accessory configurations are further reinforced to address higher loads and more demanding site conditions.
For example, anti-slip pad blocks are added to the upper and lower rings to improve stability when clamping larger-diameter pipes.
In addition, the facer clamping mechanism is optimized to support higher-frequency and heavier-duty facing operations.
A gear-driven facer solution for larger sizes is also under development and will be introduced to further enhance transmission stability in large-diameter applications.
The FX series does not aim to include every possible accessory as standard. Instead, each configuration is evaluated against a single practical question:
which accessories would repeatedly cause inconvenience if they were missing on real job sites?
From modular clamp inserts and accumulators to support shoes, wear-resistant plates, and size-specific reinforced configurations, these standard accessories collectively define the practical, job-site-oriented experience of the FX series.
