a) Head and tail Welding Positioner can be viewed as double body welding turntable, with the working parts connected in between. Or, it can be looked as two sets of L type Welding Positioner stand facing toward each other;
b) In Head and Tail Welding Positioner, the two mechanical body of supporting bracket can be either joint together into an integral frame, by means of a piece of horizontal beam, or individually separated from each other. Please check the above small photo;
c) Under the condition of separately arranged supporting brackets, one of the supporting brackets can move along the rail, to cater for changed length of workpiece in the Head and tail Welding Positioner;
a) In head and tail Welding Positioner, welding turntable in conventional standard Welding Positioner and L type Welding Positioner is reduced to welding fixture for securing workpiece;
b) In one set of head and tail Welding Positioner, there is one piece of securing welding fixture on each set of the two supporting brackets.
With reference to the two sets of lateral supporting brackets, the head and tail Welding Positioner has the flexible way of working. There are three optional ways in its welding turntable:
This is the basic and indispensable working axis of the head and tail Welding Positioner. As you can find from the above big photo of this page, operator was welding on the structure member after its welding point is turned to proper welding position;
When the working parts to be welded has fairly large size of cross section, the head and tail Welding Positioner should have ability of up and down within certain vertical stroke, from the frequently 800 ~ 1000 mm, to custom made higher level;
a) In complicated head and tail Welding Positioner, a smaller size welding turntable is installed on the horizontal beam, and rotates 0°~360° freely;
b) This additional degree of freedom makes the head and tail Welding Positioner applicable for welding irregular shape and distributed welding seams of working parts.
1) Head and tail Welding Positioner is developed specifically for welding working parts with long length (Longer than 2m);
2) As we discussed in the page of “Single Axis Welding Turntable”, the vertical revolving Welding turntable is used for welding short length parts, which forms complementary function with this Head and tail Welding Positioner;
3) For understanding on general picture and strong points, please visit thematic page of “Superiority of Wuxi JACK Welding Positioner”.
How to Find the Most Applicable Way of Elevation and other Motion Control on Welding Turntable in Welding Positioner?
1) As we discussed in the page “Three Axis Welding Positioner”, Wuxi JACK adopts the safest and the most reliable way of hydraulic drive elevation for Welding turntable in all our L Lifting type Welding Positioner;
2) Besides, as you can find from the above photos, in large scale Head and Tail Welding Positioner, especially lifting stroke above 2m, chain and sprocket is proper way of driving and transmission to guarantee both sufficient holding force and elevating stroke, making reliable running of the Welding Turntable;
3) Meanwhile, under the precondition of safe operation, eligible welding and convenient job, we always explore the most applicable way of motion control in our products, including welding turntable elevation in Welding Positioner. Taking the manual Lifting type Welding Positioner in the above photo as example, you can find its up and down of welding turntable is realized by means of fitting into different grades of mounting bolts. This may remind you of the HLK Bolt Adjusting Welding Rotator. Definitely, the two products have similar way of adjustment on fitting for changed workpiece size;
4) For more detail, please check the product introduction of Single Table Top Manual Vertical Lifting type Welding Positioner, and Double Table Top Lifting and Rotation Heavy duty Welding Positioner.
Here we divide the head and tail Welding Positioner into three branches of:
1. Single Axis Horizontal Revolving Fixed Height Welding Turntable;
2. Double Axis Horizontal Revolving Lifting type Welding Turntable;
3. Three Axis Horizontal Revolving, Rotating Lifting type Welding Turntable
Let us review the above three kinds of head and tail Welding Positioner one by one.
1) This kind of head and tail Welding Positioner is applicable for welding small cross section workpiece, with relative light weight. So, it is no need to raise welding turntable during working;
2) Both ends of working parts are joint with lateral sides of the welding turntable;
3) During working, the working parts and welding turntable revolve around the horizontal shaft connected between both sides of the head and tail Welding Positioner.
1) As you can check from the right hand photos, the fixed height head and tail Welding Positioner can be either splitting type, or integral type; The revolve of welding turntable can be either in motor drive, or hand turning;
2) The white color integral structure head and tail Welding Positioner is the overlapping product with Welding Fixture. The rotation of welding turntable is pushed by hand, and locked in angular position. Please check product Horizontal Revolving Welding Fixture type Welding Positioner with Double Connection;
3) The light green color head and tail Welding Positioner has splitting body. The revolve of working parts is driven with motor. Please check product Head and Tail Welding Positioner for Manual and Automatic Welding.
These are tailor made welding turntable, of which technical parameters differ case by case.
1) When the cross section of working parts become larger, and or welding points are distributed at different position, the head and tail Welding Positioner should have lifting function;
2) For smaller size head and tail lifting type Welding Positioner, it is usually has splitting structure, as shown in the top and bottom ones of left hand photos;
3) When the working parts grow higher and heavier, usually there is a solid horizontal beam connected between both ends of the head and tail Welding Positioner, serving as welding turntable, as you can check from the middle one of left hand photos;
4) Besides, the bottom one at left hand photos shows the head and tail Welding Positioner with moving side brackets. It is for working parts with wide range of length.
In the description on structure of head and tail lifting type Welding Positioner as above, we have mentioned its classification somewhat. Here is the complement:
1) The three photos at left hand reflect the three sets of head and tail Welding Positioner with elevating stroke of 800mm, 3000mm, and 2500mm respectively;
2) The corresponding transmission are leadscrew, chains and sprocket. You can name it medium duty and heavy duty head and tail Welding Positioner respectively;
3) For detail, please check product Chuck Fixing Lifting type Welding Positioner with Double Table Top, and Head and Tail Lifting type Welding Positioner.
These are tailor made welding turntable, which technical parameters differ case by case.
1) In practical application, such three axis head and tail Welding Positioner is usually heavy duty, for process large size, heavy weight, and complicated structure of working parts;
2) On the horizontal beam, there is piece of welding turntable, which can be turned 0°~360°;
3) In the working of such head and tail Welding Positioner, the 0°~360° revolving around horizontal axis, and 0°~360° rotation of welding turntable are all welding speed on working parts, which is controlled with inverter. Or, in strict condition, driven with servo motor;
4) For detail, please check product Three Degree of Freedom Head and Tail Welding Positioner, and Servo Drive Head and Tail Rotation Lifting type Welding Positioner.
These are tailor made welding turntable, of which technical parameters differ case by case.
1. Head and tail Welding Positioner is majorly used in Construction Machinery, Vehicle, and Engineering Machinery, for producing work in process, and structure members;
2. The related welding equipment with head and tail Welding Positioner are Welding Manipulator, Welding Rotator, and Special Welding Machine, etc.;
3. The overlapped product and supporting unit is Welding Fixture on welding turntable of the head and tail Welding Positioner.
