What Is a Welding Rotator?
A welding rotator is a machine designed to rotate the workpiece during welding to provide uniform heat distribution.
It is primarily used in industrial machinery and the manufacturing of large structures. The operating principle involves the rotation of the workpiece around a central axis driven by a motor. This rotation ensures even heating of the welding area, contributing to the uniformity of the welding process. It proves effective in the manufacturing of industrial machinery, bridges, and the welding of large structures such as iron towers, leading to improved welding quality.
One notable feature is the ability to provide consistent heat distribution. Common applications include the manufacturing of industrial machinery and the welding of large structures, with specific examples including automotive components, bridges, and shipbuilding. There are two main types: direct current (DC) welding rotators, known for their ability to uniformly heat the welding area, and alternating current (AC) welding rotators, favored for their cost-effective power supply.
