1) Single axis Welding Positioner, as its name suggests, has only one degree of freedom in the way of 0°~360° revolving for its welding turning table, removing the original 0°~120° tilting of the welding turning table as in the case of two axis Welding Positioner;
2) Depending on revolving plane of the welding turning table, the single axis Welding Positioner has two types of horizontal and vertical rotation style, please check below two photos for compare:
What is the Position of Supplementary Units for Running of Rotary Welding Positioner and Welding Turning Table?
1) Welding Positioner has the main task of all direction management on its welding turning table and working parts. Many times operation of the Welding Positioner needs assistance from its supplementary mechanisms, such as Welding Fixture installed on its welding turning table, and other types of assistant locating units. These supplementary units are indispensable for normal running of the Rotary Welding Positioner, making it having complete function;
2) Wuxi JACK has very rich experience in supplying the complete set of Welding Positioner together with supplementary units, from various welding fixture fixed on the welding turning table, to different kinds of splitting type locating equipment;
1) The second example is the conductive unit applied in Rotary Welding Positioner and welding turntable, as you can check from the above photo: With this exclusive and ingenious design by Wuxi JACK engineers, the working of the conductive unit and its cables will not be entangled during revolving of the welding turning table;
2) Or, in other words, there is no confinement on rotation of the Welding Turning Table which may lead to negative impact on conductive unit, totally making sure its safe and reliable performance, during working of the Welding Positioner;
3. For more detail, please check the product introduction of Single Table Top Special Made Servo Drive Welding Positioner.
As we mentioned at the beginning of this page, the single axis Rotary Welding Positioner can be further divided into two groups of:
1. Horizontal revolving single axis Rotary Welding Table;
2. Vertical revolving single axis Rotary Welding Positioner;
Going forward, the single axis Rotary Welding Table can be divided into two small branches of ordinary A.C. motor drive and servo drive Welding turntable.
Let us review the above two kinds of single axis Welding Positioner and Welding Turning Table one by one.
1) The right hand photo and design sketch of horizontal Welding Turning Table denote its structure: A piece of round shape (Minority condition is square shape) welding turntable is assembled onto a piece of vertical standing solid base, with the driving and transmission motor reducer installed beneath the welding turntable;
2) There is a piece of installation plate at the bottom of the vertical base, keeping balance and stable running of the entire set of Welding Turning Table;
3) To get the compact size and symmetric structure of the whole set of the single axis Rotary Welding Table,motor and reducer are assembled in symmetry at both sides of the vertical base.
1) Based on type of driving motor, the horizontal Welding Turning Table has two types of ordinary A.C. motor drive and servo drive;
2) The loading capacity of ordinary A.C. motor drive Welding turntable can be up to 50 Ton to 100 Ton;
3) The loading capacity of servo drive Welding turntable has the max. tonnage of 10 Ton, of which the common seen is 3 Ton to 5 Ton;
4) The servo drive Welding Turning Table usually works with robot working station and or other sophisticated control case. The corresponding revolving speed of the welding turntable is obviously wider than that of the inverter control on ordinary A.C. motor single axis Rotary Welding Positioner. Usually the 20 to 30 times speed change scope is available.
Below parameter table is the brief specification of single axis horizontal Rotary Welding Positioner:
Degree of Freedom | 0°~360° revolving of welding turning table in horizontal |
Linear Revolving Speed of the Welding Turning Table | 0.2 ~ 2 rpm for ordinary Motor drive; Custom made for servo drive |
Max. Loading Capacity of Rotary Welding Table | 2, 3, 5, 10, 50, 100 Ton for ordinary A.C. motor drive Up to 10 ton for servo drive |
1) Looking at its appearance, the frame of vertical revolving single axis Welding Positioner is similar to a set of L type Welding Positioner: Its upright square column serving as trunk of the main body, and 2 pieces of long extending “feet” as its grounding installation base;
2) The difference is, there is no L arm in this single axis Rotary Welding Positioner. Instead, the welding turning table is assembled directly onto the square column, in the direction of vertical plane;
3) The balance and steady standing of the welding turntable is very important on such kind of vertical revolving single axis Welding Positioner. As you can check from the left hand photo, besides the above mentioned 2 pieces of long feet, control board of the Welding Turning Table is integrated into cavity of the Welding Positioner rectangular body, which improves and increase stability of its gravity center location.
1) The working parts processed on this structure of vertical single axis Rotary Welding Positioner should have “stout” or “stumpy” figure, instead of “Slender” figure;
2) Which means, the length of the workpiece should be short compared with its cross section size. This is considered out of stable running of the vertical revolving Welding Turning Table.
Below parameter table is just the brief specification of such single axis vertical Rotary Welding Positioner:
Degree of Freedom | 0°~360° revolving of welding turning table in vertical |
Linear Revolving Speed of the Welding Turning Table | 0.2 ~ 2 rpm for ordinary Motor drive |
Max. Loading Capacity of Rotary Welding Table | 2, 3, 5, 10 Ton |
Recommended Length of Workpiece | Not up to 2 ~ 3 |
1. These simplified Rotary Welding Positioner and Welding Turning Table are basically for welding cylindrical parts, which are often seen in industries of Pipeline, Oil and Gas, Pressure Vessel, etc.;
2. The mated equipment are Welding Manipulator, Welding Rotator, and Special Welding Machine, etc.;
3. The necessary and requisite working cell on the single axis Welding Positioner and flat Welding turntable is Welding Fixture of different design, for securing working parts onto its welding turning table;
4. After welding, these working parts are sometimes sent to Beam End Face Milling Machine for polishing.
