Any suggestions or input is appreciated. Id rather die trying to live than live trying not to die. However the flange is in the same plane as the positioner platter rotating off center.

ESAB used to make welding positioners mainly for ASEAABB controlled as an external axis by the robot the smallest Ive seen could carry 160kg and the largest was 1600kg which manipulated tractor chassis at Terex. Well actually completed recently. In my experiences a welding positioner is for holding large pieces in a good welding position say flat versus overhead to get the best possible weld and sometimes rotating the workpiece as the weldor controls the foot pedal.

Hey guys Im new to Arduino. The stand is made from 1 square tube and 38 x 2 steel flat. This tube is 32mm and about 5 long i had to put a fair bit of force on the end to get the back of the positioner frame to lift off the table.

08-24-2016 0524 AM. Made 5 passes or so. Since Im required to do a 12 weld I must angle the joint so I am in position ie rotate and hold axis one of the positioner at 45 while the elbow rotates off center of the flange in question.

One problem this presented was that the ground COULD seek a pathway through the bearings and. Even though some us have a welding bench quite often there are those projects that arise that require multiple positions to hold tack up or weld your to be welded item.

The metal thickness is 14. The 16P-700 pipe welding positioner has a max capacity of 3000 lbs and max OD of 16. The table can be set from 0 - 90 degrees in 15 degree increments.

The machine is a 1400 series robot with a s4c controller. What is a good RPM to use for Using my mig or tig welder. My first post on the forum.

The length of weld is 52. The clamp to fix the angle of the table seems to work as well with no slipage at all. It will turn as slow as 14 turn per minute.

Return to Welding Forum General Shop Talk. Ive done this hundreds of times without issue. I was wondering if any of you have made or know of a resource for making your own welding positioner any links or and ideas of building one if so please share the info with me and again many thanks in advance.

Aug 22 2020. Certiflat Rotary Welding Positioner. To a weld positioner.

Heres my take on a welding positioner. Im using a NEMA 17 stepper and will probably step up to a NEMA 23 eventually. The key consideration is both the surface speed at the welding position which is a function of the radius of the welding position circle diameter and the rotation speed of the positioner.

Im going to weld up a 18 auto rim.
