What is Three Axis Welding Positioner and its Applicable Workpieces?

1. Three axis Welding Positioner is the upgrade version of two axis Welding Positioner. Which, on the basis of 0°~360° revolving and 0°~120° tilting of its welding turning table, also add the additional movement along vertical direction;

2. The Common Seen Form of Three Axis Welding Positioner:

1) The three axis Welding Positioner is majorly in the form of L type Welding Positioner, or to be more specifically, L type Elevating Welding Positioner, as shown in below photo. Because in the product page of “Two Axis Welding Positioner”, we introduce a kind of L type Welding Positioner which has its welding turning table in solitary height;

2) Another minority of Three Axis Welding Positioner is a variation from the conventional single welding turning table Welding Positioner as shown in below photo. Which, has its welding turning table can be adjusted in several grades of height;

3. The Fitting Parts to be Welded on Three Axis L type Elevating Welding Positioner:

1) Those working parts applicable for three degrees of freedom welding turning table:

a) Relative large size: More than 1.5m longer and or wider;
b) With light to medium weight: The most suitable for welding turning table of the L type Elevating Welding Positioner is from 1 ton to 5 ton, majority 1~3 ton;
c) And multiple distribution of welding points in one piece of workpiece;
2) When the weight of working parts grows too heavy, for example, above 5ton, you may need to select a set of Head and Tail Welding Positioner.

1. Advantages of Three Axis L type Elevating Welding Positioner:

2. Working Mode of Three Control Axis L type Elevating type Welding Positioner:

2) Design sketch of a set of typical three axis L type Elevating Welding Positioner is as below: (Fig.3)

1. The Structure of L type Elevating Welding Positioner with Lifting Welding Turning Table:

As you can check from the right hand design sketch of LBS25 (2.5 ton loading capacity of Welding Turning Table), a set of typical L type Elevating Welding Positioner is mainly composed of:
1) Horizontal installed L arm, which is installed on the uptight standing rectangular column;

2) The uptight standing rectangular column in the L type Elevating Welding Positioner:

a) Which is installed with 2 pieces of “long feet” secured firmly into workshop floor, keeping balance of the entire set of L type Elevating Welding Positioner;
b) The L arm and column are perpendicular with each other, forming the shape of “L”, which is vividly shown in the drawing. This is where the name of “L type Elevating Welding Positioner” got from;
c) Horizontal Welding Turning Table, which is assembled onto front end of L Arm;
3) The 2 pieces of long and sturdy holding racks, “long feet”, which maintain the total weight of L type Elevating Welding Positioner and its workpiece;
4) The hydraulic oil cylinder system for driving up and down of L arm and Welding Turning Table;
5) The A.C. motors for driving vertical rotation and horizontal revolve of the L arm and Welding Turning Table, during welding operation of the L type Elevating Welding Positioner;
6) The 4 pieces of heavy duty precise linear guiderail, for guiding the vertical movement of L arm and Welding Turning Table;
Working moment of this LBS model L type Elevating Welding Positioner please see the right hand photo.

2. The Classification of L type Elevating Welding Positioner with Lifting Welding Turning Table:

1) This is on the basis of expected size and weight of working parts to be processed on the LBS series L type Elevating Welding Positioner;
2) The recommended models are from LBS10 to LBS50, or from 1 ton to 5 ton loading tonnage of its welding turning table, and majority in the range of 1 ton to 3 ton;
3) For example, LBS10, LBS12, LBS20, and LBS30 L type Elevating Welding Positioner.

3. Technical Parameters of L type Elevating Welding Positioner with Lifting Welding Turning Table:

Below parameter table covers the frequently selected models of LBS10 to LBS30 L type Elevating Welding Positioner:

1. The Specialty of Welding Positioner with Height Manual Adjusting Welding Turning Table:

Just as you can check from the left hand photos, it looks like a conventional Welding Positioner with “long neck”:

1) The welding turning table is installed on vertical body of the Welding Positioner in detachable bolts. There are three grades for fitting of these bolts, 300mm interval between every two adjacent grades: In other words, the total vertical adjustable scope of the Welding Turning Table in this Welding Positioner is 900mm;
2) Judging from these descriptions, you can draw conclusion that such kind of Welding Positioner has the similar adjustment way as HLK series Welding Rotator. The difference only lies in direction and specific specifications of the two products;
3) For detail, please check product of Single Welding Turning Table Manual Vertical Elevating type Welding Positioner.

2. Applicable Application of Welding Positioner with Height Manual Adjusting Welding Turning Table:

1) This is a niche product in the sub group of three axis Welding Positioner, let along the entire product family. Due to characteristic of its structure, only light to medium weight working parts are suitable to be welded on such Rotary Welding Positioner;
2) Besides, because its way of welding turning table height adjustment is relatively time consuming, usually this type of Rotary Welding Positioner is applicable for welding working parts with limited variation of size, and relatively large volume in each grade.
