Lift-and-rotate positioner WB1KZ

Lift-and-rotate positioner WB1KZ: welding positioner for robotic welding cells

Lift-and-rotate positioner WB1KZ is a 2-axis welding positioner with a capacity of 1000–2000 kg depending on version. It holds and turns the workpiece so the robot welds in the flat position.

The system combines synchronized lifting and rotary positioning. Servo-driven axes, RV-type gearboxes and industrial-grade guides provide smooth motion, stable holding and reliable operation during long welding cycles.

Rotation plus tilt brings seams on several planes into the flat position — welded frames, brackets, gearbox housings and machine bases. Without tilt the robot must reach over the part at an angle that degrades both the weld and the reachable envelope.

Capacity figures include the fixture. Check the swing envelope at full rotation as well as the footprint: the part sweeps a larger circle than it occupies at rest.
