WELDING MANIPULATORS ARE DESIGNED TO MOVE THE WELD HEAD OVER THE WORKPIECE. THIS PROVIDES A SAFE AND EFFICIENT WELDING PROCEDURE. THIS DIFFERS FROM WELDING POSITIONERS OR WELDING ROTATORS, WHICH MOVE THE WORKPIECE RATHER THAN THE WELDING HEAD.

MISA have a huge inventory of welding manipulators including column and boom (C&B) manipulators suited to any welding application. All our machinery has a robust construction to cope with the most demanding of environments. Our welding manipulators are suited to all pipe and tank welding applications, pressure vessel boiler welding, tubular sectioning and can be integrated into all processes including SAW, TIG, MIG/MAG. The main difference between our welding manipulators and other ranges of machinery are that these are designed to move the weld head over the work piece rather than mechanically re-positioning the work piece. Welders can reach difficult to get to areas, achieve top quality welds with better deposition rates and work safer too. Our rigs range in sizes from 2m x 2m, going all the way up to 10m x 10m. Both the column and boom are made of 100% steel to cope with the harshest demands. We offer a variety of designs, configurations and customisations – guaranteeing you get the right machinery to deliver results.

The welding manipulator can be used together with the welding positioner and the welding rotator, which can better improve the production efficiency.

Welding rotators are similar to positioners, in that it’s a mechanical means to rotate cylindrical vessels. They minimise handling, increase efficiency, and dramatically improve the quality of workmanship from welders of all skill levels. MISA can supply conventional and self-aligning rotators to suit various sizes of weldments across a variety of sectors. Any steelworks with cylindrical vessels, be it small diameter piping to large industrial cylindrical vessels for windtower production, a rotator will be beneficial, sometimes a necessity. If the weldment is cylindrical, a rotator will make a huge difference to most welding processes including, SAW, TIG, MIG and ARC

Welding positioner consists of turning and overturning mechanism of working table .Turning and overturning make the workpiece to reach a reasonable welding and fitting angle by the elevating of the working table,the turning of the working table is frequency conversion which can get a satisfactory welding speed.Because of the offset from center and gravity center, to the longer and more offset from gravity center workpiece large model should be chosen.
