Very ignorant on welding positioners--help edumecate

With competitive price and timely delivery, OLIVET sincerely hope to be your supplier and partner.

I use my cordless drill with a 7/16" socket and an extension. I also found using this clamp helped regulate the speed a bit more consistently. I could set the speed using the squeeze clamp, then once the speed was found slide it off and slide it back on to remember the same speed setting.

The last photo is the permanent gear box and motor I will use to power the positioner, along with a rheostat to control the speed.

Welding Positioners 101 NEW Automated options

How often do you notice your welders working hunched over or welding above their heads? The welding position affects EVERYTHING about the end result. Without a reliable configuration, quality, productivity and safety all suffer. Cue the welding positioner.

We've put together this basic guide on welding positioners and run through the many options we have to not only improve your welding operation but make it a whole lot easier.

 

Weld Positioner Applications

Positioners can be applied to a diverse mixture of applications, but they are most commonly used for the rotation of parts during the welding or assembly process. They provide a consistent plane of rotation even bearing a significant amount of weight.

Weld positioners can be used for both manual welding, semi-automated welding or used to complement a robotic system. A few of the key industries currently utilizing weld positioners include:

  • Heavy construction or machine manufacturing
  • Military
  • Automotive
  • Aerospace
  • Steel & pipe industries

 

Standard vs Automated

The welding positioners designed by Bancroft Engineering can be custom configured to fit your needs. These innovative options allow the positioners to be even more flexible and satisfy the most stringent of customer demands. All of our standardized positioners can be fully customized with one or many of the following options:

  • Increased torque capacities
  • Digital displays
  • Hardware and special hole patterns for easy fixture mounting
  • On/off foot switches
  • Safety locking
  • Aluminum tables
  • Other customizations upon request

If it's more control you are looking for in a welding positioner then our line of automated positioners could be your solution.  Designed with both the harsh welding environment and cost in mind, these automated positioners can be integrated into any power supply.  They are PLC controlled and available with:

  • Programmable rotation distance
  • Variable speed and direction
  • Rotary delay and craterfill timers
  • A repeatable tooling home location
  • Manual or pneumatic torch shuttle
  • Live center
  • Tilt and pivot options for better weld positioning

Welding in the Right Position

One of the main perks of welding positioners is that you'll always be in the best position and angle to generate high-quality output. Positioners also save floor space, give the ability to manage higher load capacities in a safe way and decrease cycle times. Along with production benefits, positioners produce a quick return on investment!
