A compact rotary welding positioner of a table design with a maximum static load of up to 50 kg, designed for basic welding operations on smaller products in metal workshops or light industry. The machine provides stable rotation through a stepper drive with digital control and can be equipped with accessories for semi-automated welding.
Machine design and manufacturing decisions are reviewed against the intended industrial application.
Mechanical movement, controls and operator access are considered together in the machine concept.
The welding method and workpiece requirements inform the available equipment and configuration.
HST can review the workpiece, process and production sequence before confirming a machine scope.
Product description
POTTER 50 is a compact rotary welding positioner of a table design with a 370 mm working height and a maximum working load of 50 kg. It is a simple yet highly effective positioner specifically designed for basic welding operations on smaller products in metal workshops or medium-sized industrial enterprises.
An efficient and reliable steel construction carries the spindle, allowing comfortable use of the appropriate working plate or universal chuck. This rotary welding positioner is equipped with a quality stepper drive and digital control, ensuring perfectly smooth and constant rotational speed during welding to achieve a consistent weld around the entire circumference of the product.
Control system R3 is integrated into the machine chassis and protected by a steel cover with the polycarbonate glass cover against splashes of welded metal. The positioner has a table design for placement on a working table.
Operation of the positioner can be made easier by using the foot controller for proportional speed regulation, which allows the spindle rotation speed to be adjusted during welding. A hand controller is another alternative for remote control of the positioner. In addition to controlling the rotation speed, both the foot controller and hand controller may include a selector for changing the rotation direction.
The spindle has a variable tilt range of 0 - 110°, ensuring the optimal welding position. The tilt can be adjusted manually in steps using a locking pin.
The positioner has integrated anchor points for the installation of a supporting column, which enables the positioner to be equipped with an advanced welding arm system. The welding arm has pneumatic control and three degrees of position adjustment.
At the end of the welding arm, there is a precise mechanical cross head for two-axis torch position adjustment in the range of +/- 15 mm. It features a backlash-free structure and allows the torch to be rotated by +/- 90° and tilted within a range of +/- 20°, with both movements featuring position locking in steps.
This rotary positioner is equipped with digital control system R3, specially designed by HST CREATIVE for circumferential welding and effective automation of this process. The positioner also has a controlled output for switching the welding source arc ON.
