Product Description

Selecting the right positioning device for the job involves accounting not only for the weight and size of the weldment, but also for the center of gravity (COG) and how far it is from the positioning device. COG is the point at which the weldment balances on all axes equally. As the distance increases from the device, more torque is applied to the positioner. The COG changes as the welder adds material and parts to the positioner, so these changes must be taken into account.

The table rotates by a variable-speed electric motor and can be hand- or foot-controlled. The positioner motor and control should be selected based on the size and speed that are required to perform the desired welding operation.

The positioner specifications will guide the motor and control choice. Its important for welders to check the specifications for both horizontal and vertical loading to make sure capacity is adequate to handle the weldment. Our positioner is certainly able to withstand the largest possible load.
