HEAD AND TAILSTOCK POSITIONERS

Capacities: from 4.000 kg (8,800 lb) to 15.000 kg (33,000 lb)

 

FEATURES:

Sideros Head and Tailstock Positioners can be used for a variety of parts and weldments. Typically a Head & Tailstock Welding Positioner is used for long rectangular shapes that must be supported from both ends.
Optional powered and manual mobile sub bases can be provided on rails for varying part lengths allowing different length weldments to be positioned with one station.
With a large rotation speed range all welding processes can be accommodated, such as MIG, TIG, SAW and laser welding.
A typical configuration consists of a driven Headstock Positioner with an Idler Tailstock. Dual Synchronized Headstocks can be used for exceptionally long parts or parts that have torsion concerns. Robotic versions to manual applications can be accommodated depending on your specific needs.

FUNCTIONALITY:

Perfect synchronisation for best results. In the case of Headstock/Tailstock Elevating Positioners, the synchronization between Head and Tailstock utilizes AC variable frequency drives that provide dynamic synchronization during the elevation cycle, as well as absolute mechanical re-synchronization at full stroke, at either top or bottom limits. The elevation axis uses two screw jacks for redundancy, coupled together and driven by a common motor.
