Folding arm flipping machine
Type
Welding Positioner
The orbital robotic welding station is a kind of intelligent welding equipment that uses ground rail movement to expand the working range. The ground rail bracket is 12 meters long, and work areas can be set up on both sides of the ground rail. Transportation work and welding work can be carried out at the same time, effectively improving production efficiency.
Rail-type Welding Workstation

This equipment is a specialized auxiliary flipping device designed for steel structure welding and assembly processes. Featuring a folding arm structure, it supports customized clamping and flipping solutions and can adapt to heavy workpieces of various specifications, including steel beams, steel columns, and box-type components. The equipment offers 90° step-by-step flipping capability and supports continuous multi-angle positioning, significantly reducing manual lifting and adjustment time. It is a key auxiliary tool for improving the production efficiency of steel structures.
Technical Highlights & Advantages
90° Step Flipping + Continuous Positioning
- Each flip is precisely controlled at 90°, enabling multiple consecutive flips until the workpiece reaches the target working surface
- No need for repeated hoisting and alignment; one-time clamping, multi-surface forming
Significantly Improved Welding Efficiency
- Traditional processes require multiple lifts and turnovers, which are time-consuming, labor-intensive, and pose safety risks
- This equipment allows in-situ flipping of workpieces with a fixed welding station, reducing crane occupancy time
- Field measurements show 30%～50% increase in single-piece welding efficiency, especially suitable for batch-produced custom-length components
Customized Clamping System
- Custom clamping jaws or pressing mechanisms based on workpiece cross-section (H-beam, box-type, etc.)
- Supports hydraulic/electric clamping with adjustable clamping force to prevent thin-walled workpiece deformation
- Can integrate mechanical anti-fall locking mechanisms to ensure absolute safety under heavy-load conditions
Heavy-Duty Design & Rigid Structure
- The machine body is formed by welding high-strength steel plates with integral annealing treatment, providing excellent rigidity and minimal deformation
- Standard configuration includes heavy-duty slewing ring bearings + hard-face reducers for strong load capacity and smooth flipping
- Maximum load capacity can be customized up to 5 tons, meeting most steel component processing requirements
Application Scenarios (Typical Steel Structure Industry Applications)
- H-beam/Box beam welding: Multi-surface welds requiring repeated flipping; the equipment quickly positions the optimal welding position
- Steel column splicing/stiffener welding: Complete four-sided welding with one-time clamping, reducing crane auxiliary time
- High scalability: Can be used in conjunction with welding robots and positioners for integrated operation
- Customizable rated load capacity of the flipper according to specific requirements
