Minipalmek
Minipalmek is a tool designed for rapid alignment of bulb flats. It facilitates positioning and welding operations, improving overall efficiency. Under typical conditions, alignment time can be reduced by up to 30–40%. The tool can be positioned on either side of the weld seam, depending on the required alignment direction.

Version 1A: for HP 100–120 mm
Version 1B: for HP 140–160 mm

Welding efficiency can be significantly improved when a plate fitter and a welder work as a team and sufficient tools are available.

Used in shipbuilding and heavy steel structure installation.

  1. Remove possible burrs from the section ends
  2. Attach MINIPALMEK to the section in higher position by using the wedge.
  3. Align the sections in lateral direction by using a hammer or prybar
  4. Align the sections in vertical direction by using the vertical screw (can be used by pneumatic impact driver, wrench size 22 mm)
  5. Insert the ceramic backing with tape
  6. Lay the weld

Make sure that the screws are lightly greased at all times. This will prevent the welding spatter from adhering to MINIPALMEK.
