KNOWLEDGE BASE [KB]
The terms "Headstock" and "Tailstock" are used in the context of equipment used in welding and fabrication. In this context, they may refer to components that hold and support the workpiece during fabrication and welding processes. The Head & Tailstock Positioner rotates long rectangular steel structures supported from both ends. Headstock Positioner is fixed to the floor and has 360° variable powered rotation speed and adjustable center rotation height (up/down). The tailstock has idler rotation and adjustable height-powered center rotation. The unit is mounted over idler bogies to adjust the workpiece length. The set allows the welder to have ergonomic accessibility to the workpiece welds. Headstock and Tailstock Welding Positioner, also known as Headstock Positioner and Tailstock Positioner.
The Headstock is a component located at one end opposite the Tailstock. The primary function of the Headstock is to support the main spindle, which holds and rotates the workpiece. The headstock contains the motor, gears, and other components that drive the spindle. It provides the rotational power needed for turning. The Tailstock serves as a support for the opposite end of the workpiece; it has an idler spin which can be adjusted by idler wheels running on a rail, allowing it to accommodate different lengths of workpieces.
