What is a 1-Axis Positioner?

A 1-Axis Welding Positioner is a robust rotating device that automatically tilts and flips heavy workpieces to optimal welding angles. Integrated with robotic welding systems, it enables continuous, precision welding without manual repositioning.

Core Functions:

● 360° Servo-Controlled Rotation - Precise angular control within ±0.1mm repeatability

● Synchronized Robot Operation - Can integration with robot controllers (Fanuc, Yaskawa, KUKA or other robot brand)

● Heavy Payload Capacity - 500kg to 100,000kg+ for large structural components

Industry Pain Points & Solutions

Robust Mechanical Design

1. Heavy-Duty Construction

● L-Type/U-Type Frames - Stable support for varying fixture spans (1600-3500mm)

● Servo Motor + Precision Reducer - Smooth acceleration & high torque output (1.3-7.5kW)

● Modular Components - Quick assembly and maintenance

● Recommended Visuals:
