What is a positioner?

    The welding positioner is a welding workpiece positioner that rotates and tilts the workpiece, so that the welding seam on the workpiece is placed in a favorable welding position. It is mainly used for inversion and welding of non-long workpieces such as frames, bases, flanges and heads, and can also be used for assembly, cutting and inspection.

    According to the structural form, welding positioner can be divided into three types: outrigger welding positioner, seat welding positioner and two-seat welding positioner. In manufacturing industry, welding positioner has quietly become an indispensable equipment, and it is classified as welding auxiliary device in welding field.

 Working principle of welding positioner

    The welding positioner mainly makes the workpiece in the best welding or assembly position through the lifting, turning and overturning movement of the workbench.

    In practical application, the welding positioner can coordinate with the welding robot. In asynchronous coordinated movement, when the welding robot is welding, the welding positioner does not move, and after the welding is completed, the positioner acts according to the instruction to adjust the position of the workpiece to weld the next weld. This is repeated until all the welds on the weldment are welded. This method is very suitable for the welding of complex workpieces, because the weld seams of complex workpieces may exist on all surfaces, and the workpieces are large and complicated to shift. With the assistance of welding positioner, the labor intensity of workers can be greatly reduced and the production efficiency can be improved.

    The working principle of welding positioner makes it widely applicable. It can be used with different welding machines, and the product has wide adaptability. Whether it is manual welding, semi-automatic welding or automatic welding machine, welding positioner can cooperate with it, which is widely used in automobile parts, construction machinery, shipbuilding, storage tank, box, pipe fitting processing and other welding, cutting and spraying industries. At the same time, the welding positioner can also work with different types of industrial robots, so that any weld seam to be welded becomes an ideal position for fillet welding, flat welding and flat welding, thus facilitating welding operation and ensuring welding quality. So many users call it welding assistant.

    There are four types of welding positioner: single rotary welding positioner, double rotary welding positioner, single rotary lifting welding positioner and double rotary lifting welding positioner, which are suitable for welding components with different weld distribution characteristics.

    For example, in industrial welding, with the rapid development of the industry, welding positioner has become one of the indispensable equipment in the whole manufacturing industry. There are many large spaces to be welded in the construction machinery manufacturing, which will easily affect the work efficiency in the assembly and turnover work. If the welding positioner is used for welding, the welding work time can be effectively shortened, which not only improves the labor productivity, but also greatly reduces the labor intensity of workers and effectively improves the welding quality of products.
