Welding Positioner/Welding Turntable Industry knowledge

In heavy manufacturing industries such as wind tower wind power, storage tanks, and pressure vessels, welding operations face core pain points including large workpiece size, difficult posture adjustment, and high requirements for consistent welding quality. Traditional manual welding relies on operators' experience, leading to low efficiency (single workpiece welding cycle extended by over 30%) and increased weld defect rates due to improper welding angles. As a professional automated welding equipment supplier with 20 years of industry experience, Wuxi WeldNice's Welding Positioner/Welding Turntable is technically positioned with "stepless posture adjustment, advanced structure, and easy operation," serving as a key supporting equipment to address the above pain points and providing stable and reliable automated welding support for various industries.

I. Basic Cognition: Core Definition and Classification of Welding Positioners

1. Core Concept

A welding positioner is an automated equipment that adjusts workpiece posture (rotation, tilting) to place welding joints in the optimal welding position (flat welding, fillet welding, etc.). Widely used in the machinery manufacturing industry, it is a core supporting device to improve the efficiency and quality of welding, polishing, and spraying operations.
