Column and Boom Manipulators Manufacturer from India

Key Features of INNOVIC Welding Positioners:

• Precision Cross-Roll Bearings: These bearings ensure smooth and accurate rotation of the column, eliminating any free play that can lead to instability during operation. Larger machines come equipped with pre-loaded cross-roll bearings for added precision.
• Manual or Motorized Column Rotation: Column rotation can be motorized or manually locked in any of the 360° positions, allowing for flexibility in welding applications.
• Boom Elevation with Rack and Pinion Drive: Boom elevation is powered by a high-torque AC geared motor with an electromagnetic brake, providing smooth and reliable movement. Unlike chain or lead-screw mechanisms used by some competitors, INNOVIC uses a rack and pinion system to eliminate bounce and ensure consistent boom movement.
• Counterbalanced Design: The boom, welding head, and accessories are counterbalanced by a weight inside the column, reducing strain on the elevation gearing. This system enhances the stability of the machine, particularly when operating at full extension.
• Advanced Boom Traverse Drive: The boom traverse is driven by an AC frequency variable drive system, featuring a rack and pinion setup for smooth and controlled movement. A two-speed gearbox allows for slow retraction during cladding operations, accommodating processes such as spiral cladding using strip or wire electrode methods.
• High Load Capacity with Minimal Deflection: INNOVIC’s manipulators are designed to minimize deflection, even when carrying loads of up to 300 kg at the end of the boom. The combination of a precision cross-roll bearing and wide rollers ensures better stability and accuracy during operations.
• Customizable Configurations: INNOVIC Column and Boom Manipulators are available in five different designs, each tailored to meet the specific needs of various applications, such as cylindrical vessel manufacturing or high-precision welding tasks.

Base and Travelling Carriage Options:

• Free-Standing Base or Travelling Carriage: The manipulators are designed with a robust base that provides maximum rigidity. The base can either be stationary or supported on wheels to form a travelling carriage, depending on the requirements. Travelling versions include either constant-speed or variable-speed drives for accurate tracking and movement.
• AC Motorized Column Rotation: Larger machines are equipped with motorized column rotation through an AC motor and heavy-duty reduction gearboxes, providing smooth start-stop movement and reducing strain on the system.

Speeds and Performance:

• The manipulators offer precise control over speeds, ranging from as slow as 5 mm per minute to 1000 mm per minute, ensuring flexibility for various welding and cladding operations.
• These machines are ideal for applications requiring high stability and minimal deflection, such as spiral cladding or when handling heavy loads at extended boom lengths.
