Welding Positioners
Not sure which model fits?
Send the part weight, the reach you need and the cycle. We will name the model — and say plainly if a robot is not the right answer for it.
Robot positioners — welding positioners, also called rotary tables or turning tables — hold and rotate the workpiece so the robot always welds in the flat position. 25 models across single-axis, two-axis and three-axis configurations, including the WD linear track, with rated loads from 150 to 5000 kg across their variants.
Welding downhand is easier to control than vertical or overhead, and it removes the need for the robot to reach awkward angles, which often allows a smaller arm than the part would otherwise require.
Choose by part weight including the fixture, by the swing envelope at full rotation, and by whether the part needs one rotation axis or tilt as well. Headstock-and-tailstock arrangements suit long shafts and frames; single-axis tables suit flanges, wheels and short assemblies.
Frequently Asked Questions
It also removes the need for the robot to reach awkward angles, which often allows a smaller arm than the part would otherwise require.
Also check the swing envelope at full rotation, not just the footprint: the part sweeps a larger circle than it occupies at rest.
Tell us the part and the cycle and we will say which is justified.
For large-diameter thin-wall vessels that would deform on a chuck, roller supports are the correct choice.
Technical support is online: our engineers consult on setup, programming questions and fault-finding by video call. Spare parts are shipped directly from the factory.
CRP production is certified to ISO 9001, and the factory reports its products are certified to an MTBF above 100,000 hours.
