Description

General Features

  • Type: Welding Positions (various models: GPA, GPD series)
  • Purpose: Provides controlled rotation and tilt for welding, cutting and assembly operations
  • Applications: Suitable for pipe welding, circumferential welds, fabrication shops, and industrial use

Construction & Design

  • Drive System: High quality worm gear reducers for smooth operation and minimal backlash
  • Rotation: 360º continuous rotation on all models
  • Tilt: Up to 135º tilt for flexible positioning
  • Table: Machined Tslot table with center through hole for clamping and purging
  • Grounding: Maintenance free grounding system for safe welding current transfer

Performance

  • Load Capacity: Models range from 220 lbs (100 kg) to 44000 lbs (20,000 kg) depending on series
  • Speed Control: Variable speed rotation (commonly 0.3-4 RPM or 1-16 RPM)
  • Power Input: AC100-240 V, single phase, 50/60 Hz
  • High Frequency Protection: Built in to withstand welding environments
