Headstock and tailstock positioners: benefits for welding applications
In the production of welded steel structures, it is important to ensure that the welding seam is conveniently positioned for the welder. For welding frame structures, Techvagonmash offers to use headstock and tailstock positioners. Read about the main advantages of using positioners for welding in this article.
1. Increased performance
Welding positioners increase productivity and reduce production downtime. They also make welders feel more comfortable, as correctly positioned parts and workpieces allow them to work faster and with less fatigue. Techvagonmash guarantees a 40 per cent rise in productivity and a return on investment in less than a year. In addition, welding positioners make it easy for inexperienced welders to master work processes quicker.
2. Better quality of welding
Welding positioners ensure consistently high weld quality by clamping the parts to be welded and preventing movement which could negatively affect the quality of the welding. As a workpiece is clamped well, welders can perform their work quickly and efficiently avoid distractions caused by workpiece movement.
3. Improvement of production and employee safety
Working with large welded parts can be dangerous and physically demanding. However, the use of a welding positioning device reduces the risk of injury and keeps welders safe in the workplace. Operators can easily lift and position welded parts in an optimal position without the need for chains, cranes and forklifts. This saves time and reduces the workload for the welders.
4. Better ergonomics
Improved work ergonomics is key to worker safety and comfort, especially for welders whose work can lead to fatigue and injuries.
