In structural steel and railway wagon manufacturing, a large share of the time goes not into welding itself but into turning the workpiece so the welder can reach the joint. A beam has to be slung, lifted by a crane, flipped and re-aligned, often several times per cycle. A chain beam rotator solves this differently: the workpiece stays at one station and is turned at the push of a button. Below we look at the benefits this brings to production and what to check when choosing equipment.
Chain beam rotators help automate the welding process of heavy metal structures, reduce production time, and improve the quality of welded joints. Learn how using modern equipment can reduce production costs, improve work safety, and increase welding efficiency.
This article discusses the main advantages of using positioners when welding.
