Welding Manipulator is the core equipment of automatic welding production. Proper model selection directly affects welding efficiency, finished weld quality and overall production cost. With rich industry experience, Jinan Xinhao Welding Technology Co., Ltd. summarizes key selection points and typical application scenarios of Welding Manipulator, helping global customers choose matched equipment accurately and improve production benefits.
The first selection factor is workpiece size and welding range. Customers need to confirm the length, diameter and weld distribution of workpieces to determine the lifting, stretching and transverse stroke of the manipulator. Workpieces below 3 meters choose 1–3m stroke manipulator; 3–6m workpieces match 3–6m model; large workpieces over 6 meters adopt 6–10m heavy-duty Welding Manipulator.
The second point is load matching with Welding Positioner. Light-duty positioner below 5 tons matches small manipulator; medium 5–50 tons positioner supports medium manipulator; heavy-duty positioner over 50 tons needs heavy-load manipulator to ensure overall rigidity and stable welding without shaking.
Customers also need to select structural type according to production demands: fixed type is low-cost and stable for fixed-position welding; mobile rail type can move freely for multi-station production; gantry type features super high stability for large heavy workpieces; cantilever type is compact for narrow workshop space and precision small parts.
It is necessary to match welding technology and material as well. For submerged arc welding with large current and long welds, high-power driving structure is recommended; for TIG precision welding, high-precision servo driving Welding Manipulator is the best choice. Jinan Xinhao manipulator adapts to carbon steel, stainless steel and aluminum alloy welding with multiple welding processes compatible.
Control system and linkage capability are also important selection standards. It is recommended to choose PLC touch screen intelligent control with simple operation and program storage function. Meanwhile, confirm that the manipulator can synchronously link with Welding Positioner and roller frame to realize fully automatic unmanned welding.
Typical application scenarios cover multiple industries: pressure vessel and boiler manufacturing adopt manipulator and positioner linkage for cylinder circumferential and longitudinal seam automatic welding; steel structure industry uses mobile and gantry manipulator for long fillet weld production; pipeline and flange welding matches light combined equipment for high-precision circumferential seam welding; engineering machinery and new energy manufacturing apply medium and light manipulator for complex component welding.
