Types of Welding Positioning Equipment

Here is a comprehensive list of equipment used for positioning welds to ensure proper alignment and access during automated welding operations.

Rotating Equipment

Welding Rotators

• Rotator handling equipment is used to rotate all thing cylindrical. This includes pipes, pressure vessels, silos, storage tanks, and positions for circumferential, longitudinal and specific point of access welds. The whole purpose is for controlled automated welding.
• Self-Aligning Welding Rotators ‘SAR’ adjust wheel centres automatically to the size and weight of the workpiece.
• The SAR model reduces denting by spreading the load across extra wheels, and cusps further up the cylinder side wall to maintain the shell shape, preventing bellying out.

Lift, Tilt, and Turning Positioners

Welding Positioners

• Equipment with tilt, rotate, and lift capabilities for positioning steel into optimal weld angles.
• Allow controlled rotation of workpieces for consistent welding.

Positioner Clamping and Fixturing

Modular Jig Bracket Systems

• Reconfigurable clamps and brackets for diverse welding setups.

3-Jaw Clamping Chucks

• Specifically designed to align and secure pipes and attachments.

Column and Boom Welding Manipulators

Column and Boom Manipulators

• Up / Down / Left / Right adjustable boom arm that maneuvers the welding tip into a fixed position within the weld prep ie. for circumferential or longitudinal welds.

Alignment Tools for automated welding

Laser Alignment Systems

• Ensure precise workpiece alignment for welding such as ESAB A6 Arc Master and Versotrac submerged arc welding heads.
• ESAB Seam Tracker with probe and powered slides system.

These tools and equipment are essential for ensuring high-quality welds by improving access, accuracy, and efficiency in the welding process.
