A welding positioner is a device used to hold and rotate a workpiece to the optimal position for welding. It allows the welder to work at a consistent angle, improving weld quality, reducing fatigue, and increasing productivity. A welding positioner consists of several key components designed to hold, rotate, and tilt workpieces to facilitate welding from optimal angles.
Rotating Table: The flat surface or platform where the workpiece is mounted. It rotates to allow access to different areas of the workpiece without manually repositioning it.
Chuck: A clamping device on the rotating table that securely holds the workpiece in place during rotation. Chucks can be three-jaw, four-jaw, or specially designed for specific workpiece shapes.
Tilting Table: Allows the rotating table or chuck to be tilted at various angles, providing the flexibility to position the workpiece optimally for welding.
Tilt Motor/Gears: Motor and gears control the tilting action, allowing precise adjustments to the tilt angle.
Control Panel: The interface used to control the rotation speed, tilt angle, and other positioner functions. It may include buttons, switches, or a touchscreen.
Foot Pedals/Remote Control: Optional control devices that allow the welder to adjust the positioner hands-free or from a distance.
Base/Frame: The sturdy structure that supports the positioner and ensures stability. It must be strong enough to bear the weight of the workpiece and resist vibration during operation.
Clamps/Fixtures: Devices used to hold the workpiece securely to the rotating table or chuck. These can be adjustable to accommodate different shapes and sizes of workpieces.
Rotation Motor: Powers the rotation of the table or chuck, allowing continuous or indexed rotation of the workpiece.
Gearbox: Transmits the power from the motor to the rotating table, often providing different speed settings.
Bearings: Support the rotating parts and ensure smooth, frictionless movement.
Contraponto: Utilizado em conjunto com uma cabeça, o contraponto suporta a extremidade oposta de peças longas, como tubos ou eixos. Pode ser ajustável para acomodar diferentes comprimentos.
Headstock: Provides the primary rotating force and supports one end of the workpiece. It usually contains the drive motor and controls for rotation.
Emergency Stop Button: A critical safety feature that allows immediate shutdown of the positioner in case of an emergency.
Overload Protection: Prevents the positioner from operating beyond its safe load capacity.
Limit Switches: Automatically stop rotation or tilting when the positioner reaches its maximum allowable angle or position.
Boom Arms/Support Arms: Additional supports or attachments that can be used to hold specific types of workpieces or to assist in positioning.
Counterweights: Used to balance the positioner when working with off-center or irregularly shaped workpieces.
These components work together to provide precise control over the positioning of the workpiece, enhancing the quality and efficiency of the welding process.No. 1 Intersection of Chuangye Avenue and Weilai Avenue,
