1. Cross slides for Guiding X and Y Axis Movement of Boom in Column and Boom Weld Manipulator:

This is the central working action of this Column and Boom welding machine, for accommodating on varied diameters of workpiece, and performing on high standard welding operation;

2. Safety Assurance on Running of Column and Boom Manipulator Welding Equipment:

1) During working period, to fit in workpieces of different diameters, horizontal boom of this equipment rises to higher level, which has potential danger risk of sudden unexpected falling down, and thus do great harm to people around;
2) Besides, the upright column revolve may bring along harm to adjacent operators;

3. Solid Upright Column of Weld Manipulator:

Especially for those large models of the equipment, of which from LHZ40xx, the solid and perfect erected upright column, is critical on determining performance level and running stability of the column and boom Weld Manipulator.

Slides 3: The Structure and Workmanship of Cross Slides in Wuxi JACK Column and Boom Manipulator Welding Equipment:

This page of Slides is for illustration on the 2 types of cross slides adopted in Wuxi JACK different models product:
1. Light duty Weld Manipulator: Shown in the left photo, there are 4 pairs of rollers equipped in the V cross section cross slides, making sure flexible and smooth movement of boom along both X axis (Horizontal direction) and Y axis (Vertical direction);
2. Medium and Heavy duty Weld Manipulator: Shown in the middle and right photos, there are 8 groups of rollers in cross slides; With 3 pieces of rollers in each group, which lean against three surfaces of rectangular rails, making sure stable and reliable movement of boom along both directions.

Slides 4: The Complete Safe Operation of Wuxi JACK Column and Boom Weld Manipulator:

This page of Slides is on graphical demonstration on measures taken, for guaranteeing on fully safety assurance of Wuxi JACK Manipulator Welding Equipment operation:
To prevent sudden falling down of horizontal boom during running, which will smash onto workshop floor, or even people or utilities underneath:
1. Braking Motor for Driving Boom Elevation: Motor for driving horizontal boom elevation is braking type;
2. Boom Instant Locking Unit: A row of rectangular safety holes are cut into the upright column, as shown in the left and middle photos, for being plugged with safety pins in case of contingency. In this way, the broken boom will be secured firmly at its original place, instead of falling down;
3. Limit Switches against Extreme Position: Installed at both ends of each movement stroke;
4. Boom Elevation Transmission: Shown in the right photo, leadscrew in light duty Column and Boom Weld Manipulator; Chain and sprocket in medium and heavy duty models.
