WELDING POSITIONERS

KNOWLEDGE BASE [KB]

Welding Positioner moves the workpiece under the welding process equipment; instead, the Welding Manipulators move the equipment over the workpiece. The Positioner provides powered 360° variable speed rotation and table tilt from (0°) horizontal to 120°. Welding Positioners are mechanical devices used to rotate or position a workpiece to the best possible angle or position for welding. They are essential tools for improving weld quality, efficiency, and safety, especially when dealing with large or complex components.

1. Key Features:
Load capacity: Ranges from a few kg to several tons.
Rotation speed control: Variable speed for different weld processes.
Tilt angle: Usually adjustable from 0° to 135° or more.
Remote control: For safety and efficiency.
Integration: Can be integrated with robotic arms or automation systems. 
2. Benefits of Using Welding Positioners:
Improved weld quality (better bead placement and penetration).
Increased productivity (less downtime and rework).
Enhanced safety (less manual lifting and repositioning).
Reduced operator fatigue and risk of injury.
Compatibility with automation and robotics.
3. Applications:
Pipe and pressure vessel fabrication
Aerospace and automotive components
Heavy machinery manufacturing
Shipbuilding and offshore structures
General metal fabrication shops
