How to choose a good welding positioner?

Welding positioners are used to put metal workpieces in the correct position for welding operations, whether manual or automatic.

Welding positioners have become indispensable equipment for the manufacturing industry; we classify them as welding auxiliary equipment. In recent years, welding positioners have made great development and have been widely used in the welding field. It has become a small industry with more than 10 varieties and 100 specifications.

How to choose the right welding positioner is a small and simple question for technical engineers, but you may want to know more. We have listed some tips for choosing a welding positioner.

This passage is going to talk about the followings of rotary welding positioner:

1) Selecting the right type of welding positioner

2) Choosing the right motor for a welding positioner

3) Conclusion

1) Selecting the right type of welding positioner

First you should confirm the type of welding positioner you need. There are various types of welding positioners, from 10KG to 600KG for light duty and 1 ton to 100 ton for heavy duty. Which type is right for you? The welding angle and the weight of the workpiece will be two factors to consider. For example, if you have a welding positioner for a 100KG load, if your workpiece is 100KG and you need to weld in a horizontal position (0 degrees), then a 100KG welding positioner will be sufficient. But if you need to weld in vertical position (90 degree), then 200KG will be the right choice. The above is a simple reference example. If you want to choose the right welding positioner for your project you can contact us, we have professional staff to serve you.

2) Choosing the right motor for a welding positioner

Manufacturers in the market today offer AC motors, DC motors, stepper motors and servo motors for driving welding indexers.

A DC motor would be the best choice for welding positioner light weight workpieces where accuracy is not required; it needs to be controlled by a single button.

Light weight, high precision workpieces require a combination of stepper motor and welding positioner.

Only the welding positioner with servo motor is better matched to the welding robot with high precision.

Workpieces with high weight and low accuracy can be turned and rotated with AC motors.
