1. What is the welding rotator?
The welding rotator is auxiliary welding equipment. It uses the friction between the welding workpiece and the roller to drive the cylindrical (or conical) welding workpiece to rotate. Welding rotators are usually used in combination with welding manipulators. The inner and outer longitudinal seams and inner and outer circumferential seams of cylindrical workpieces can be welded.
The welding rotator is similar to a positioner because it is a mechanical device that rotates a cylindrical container. They greatly reduce operations, increase efficiency, and significantly improve the process quality of welders of all skill levels. For any steel plant with cylindrical vessels, from small diameter pipes to large industrial cylindrical vessels for wind tower production, rotators are necessary.
2. Welding rotator composition
Next, we will introduce the main parts, main parts and parts details of the welding rotator.
The main unit of the welding rotator
The traditional welding rotator consists of two parts:
Roller support unit
Electric drive
Roller support unit
The idler bracket, more commonly referred to as the "base", is the component that carries the wheel or the medium that performs the rotation or twisting of the workpiece.
The components of the idler support unit include:
Drive steering wheel
Driven wheel frame
Electric drive unit
Similar to the idler support unit, the electric drive unit is also composed of different parts. For the benefit of everyone, the electric drive is a part of the rotator, which emits power and energy to make the welding rotator work.
The main parts of the welding rotator
Different welding rotators have different parts. In addition, some manufacturers have added certain components to it.
However, the parts that will never be taken out include:
Idler
Driving wheel (something used to rotate material or workpiece)
Wheel frame (the thing that supports the wheel)
Transmission (a device that controls the speed of rotation)
Controller (something used to change and modify the rotation speed)
Direct current (DC) motor (what makes movement concrete and real)
Even if only one of the components is missing, the welding rotator will not work properly.
These are the parts of the welding rotator. Some welding rotator manufacturers and suppliers may add some parts to supplement it, but these are parts of traditional rotators and are indispensable.
Part details of the welding rotator
The rollers can be steel wheels or polyurethane wheels.
The drive motor adopts an AC variable frequency motor. If high precision is required, servo motors can be used.
The roller support bearing adopts the spherical roller bearing, which has the characteristics of strong load-bearing capacity and impact resistance.
All shaft parts are quenched and tempered, and the tooth part is quenched and tempered.
Welding the base profile and plate welding, stress relief. In addition, the frame has undergone shot blasting and rust removal treatment, which has sufficient strength to ensure long-term use.
lThe electric control system consists of a control box and a hand control box. The control box and the hand control box are connected by super soft multi-core cables to ensure reliable use.
3. Is there a manual adjustment of the welding rotator
Yes, manual adjustment of the welding rotator is not as simple as the name, because it does not mean that manual interaction is required.
Manually adjustable welding rotator refers to the rotator without computer numerical control or CNC function.
Then the worker's operating room needs to manually input the control system to manually adjust the speed, frequency and height of the welding rotator.
Regarding your control over it, if you are an expert, then I suggest you buy a large number of manually adjustable welding rotators.
4. Welding rotator type
Next, introduce the basic types of welding rotators.
Common types of welding rotators
welding rotators are divided into many types, and their functions and functions are also different. Some of the most common types include:
Adjustable steering rotator
These are welding rotators whose steering rollers can be easily adjusted to suit the circumference and width of the workpiece or the material you are welding.
Pipe clamp rotator
The pipe clamp rotator, in its terminology, is a welding rotator that is clamped on pipes or any type of cylindrical object to help them perform automatic welding.
These machines are the best and most ideal machines to solve the problem of inclined or rotating pipes and other materials of similar state, size and size.
Install the welding rotator
Similar to the adjustable steering roller, the welding rotator can be adjusted according to the size of the workpiece. This is to ensure the accuracy and precision of the weld.
Self-aligned welding rotator
As the name suggests, you can directly understand the meaning and function of self-aligned welding rotators. They are welding rotators, which are automatically carried out when aligning the workpieces to maintain balance.
Most self-aligned welding rotators contain two devices that continuously align and align with the workpiece.
These are some of the most common welding rotator types you can buy on the market
What type of welding rotator can we provide?
We can provide you with the following types of welding rotators:
Self Aligning Rotator
Hydraulic Formation Rotator
Movable Type Rotator
Special Flange Rotator
Screw Adjustable Rotator
Screw Rod Adjustable Rotator
5. The role of welding rotator
During the welding process, the welding rotator will be used to complete related operations. The design and production of the rotator frame adopt advanced technology, and at the same time, the automatic tracking system is used to achieve the application purpose, so that the positioning is more accurate. When the roller frame is processed and produced, the process design can be carried out according to the operation requirements, so that the roller frame can better meet the needs of the industry.
In the process of processing and production, any problems encountered can be analyzed, controlled and adjusted by appropriate methods. In addition, the welding rotator will be tested with appropriate process parameters, which can make the parameter setting more reasonable, make the processing operation consistent with the equipment set, and achieve better operation control effects.
When processing by welding the rotator, the welding process is more stable and reliable. It can not only reduce the probability of failure, but also has a good isolation effect, preventing air from entering the equipment, and the equipment will not be affected by the high-temperature environment.
The use of welding rotators can improve the quality of machining operations. Make the product processing and production effect more reasonable and achieve a more ideal application effect.
6. The difference between welding rotator and welding positioner
The welding positioner is a device that can clamp and rotate the workpiece according to the set angle. It can be at different angles so that you can weld on a stable level. Workpieces of any shape can be loaded on the welding positioner.
welding rotators are different. After the workpiece is loaded, it will continue to rotate according to the speed you want. The wheels on the rotator allow movement; this is why only round and cylindrical objects can be used with it.
