Design and fabrication of an universal balanced positioner / Abdul Halim Minar

Welding table are a necessity in doing welding jobs. They come in all kinds of shapes and sizes. The use of particular welding table depends on the welding job to be performed. Common types of welding tables are:- 1. Tilt table positioners, 2. Turning rolls, 3. Head and tail stock positioners, 4. Balanced positioner. Here, I run designing a welding table that incorporates most of the flexibilities of the above mentioned welding tables. It is called the Universal Balanced Positioner and it can be adjusted to any welding position without effecting the stability of the system. The greatest advantage of using the universal balanced positioner is that the workpiece can be tilted at an angle where downhead welding can be performed. This is especially important when a work piece requires awkward angles for welding. So, by using the ·universal. balanced positioner, welding jobs can be done more easily, more quickly and produce better welds. However, its use is limited to gas and arc weldings only.
