ADJUSTABLE WELDING POSITIONER

POSITIONER

Align Production Systems’ Heavy Duty Adjustable Headstock & Tailstock Positioners
deliver height adjustment & variable-speed rotation in either direction to optimize
your fabrication or assembly operation.

ADJUSTABLE HEAD & TAILSTOCK

Our positioners are designed to improve worker ergonomics for welding, torching,
cutting, or cladding operations by allowing for adjustable in-position welding.
Adjustable Head & Tailstock Positioners are offered in weight capacities ranging from
just a few thousand pounds and up to tens of thousands of pounds to handle large
weldments. Available options range from simple hand controls to robotic interfacing
servo package. We also offer custom designed Headstock & Tailstock solutions to fit
your project specifications.

Positioner for welding the tack welded hull module or block whereby the module or
block may be made by welding comprising a cage comprising rotatably mounted rings
and clamping means for the module or block, said clamping means being movably
provided along the inner ring, whereby modules or blocks of various shapes may be
clamped.

A welding positioner for clamping an object to be welded, comprising: a pair of rings,

and rollers mounting said rings for rotation; a stationary supporting bed secured to
each ring; movable supporting beds in each of said rings hydraulic cylinder means
provided on each movable supporting bed engageable with said ring to secure said
each movable supporting bed to said ring; additional hydraulic cylinder means
provided on each supporting bed for clamping the object to be welded; rails mounted
on each movable supporting beds in said two rings, and adapted to receive a carriage
carrying said object and to transfer said carriage to and from other rails positioned
adjacent said rings; lifting means adjacent said rings adapted to engage said
bedsupported rails for removing said movable supporting beds from contact with said
rings; and means for rotating said rings.

This welding positioner, also called welding positioning equipment, is mainly used for
some special structures, construction machines, small round workpieces, and more.
And it mainly consists of a working table, turning device, overturning device,
electricity-conducting device, stander and electric cabinet. Its working table is driven
by the turning device with 6 T-style slots to ensure workpieces strictly fixed on the
working table.

Its turning device is mainly composed of a motor, a speed reducer, and a swing set.
And its overturning device mainly consists of an electric motor, cycloidal gear speed
reducer, worm wheel speed reducer, and semicircular gear.

We can design and produce welding positioners in accordance with the specific
requirements of our clients.

Features of Welding Positioner:

1. Our welding positioner has employed frequency conversion speed regulation

system to change its running speed.

2. The stepless speed regulation is adopted to make this positioner easy to control
and cheap to maintenance.

3. Semicircular gears are equipped on both ends of the output shaft of the overturn
device.

4. One end of the electricity-conducting device is connected with the swing set, and
the other end has an electricity-conducting shaft. The electricity-conducting shaft is
linked with the working table so that the welding current can be directly transmitted
through the working table.

5. The box-shaped stander possesses high loading capacity. And it is made up of Q235-
A steel which has undergone annealing and finish machining treatment, thus
successfully avoiding the welding stress deformation.
