Slides 2: The Three Critical Control Points of Wuxi JACK Welding Manipulator:

This page of slides starts on introducing the three crucial control points of Welding Column and Boom:

1. Cross slides for guiding X/ Y axis movement of boom in the Welding Column and Boom:

This is the central working action of the Welding Column and Boom, for accommodating varied diameters of workpiece, and performing welding operation;

2. Safety Assurance on Running of the Welding Manipulator:

1) During working of the Welding Column and Boom, its horizontal boom rises to higher level, which has potential danger risk of falling down and do harm to people around;
2) Besides, column revolving may do harm to adjacent operators;

3. Solid Upright Column of the Welding Column and Boom:

Especially for large models, such as from LHZ40xx, the solid and perfect erected upright column, is critical on determining performance and stability of the Welding Manipulator.

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

This page of Slides is for illustration on the 2 types of cross slides adopted in Wuxi JACK Welding Column and Boom:

1. Light duty Welding Manipulator: Shown in the left photo, there are 4 pairs of rollers equipped in the V cross section cross slides, giving flexible and smooth movement of boom along both X axis (Horizontal direction) and Y axis (Vertical direction);
2. Medium and Heavy duty Welding 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, giving stable and reliable movement of boom along both directions.

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

This page of Slides is on graphical demonstration on measures taken for safety assurance of Wuxi JACK Welding Manipulator:

To prevent sudden falling down of boom during running of the Welding Column and Boom:
1. Motor for driving boom elevation is braking type;
2. A row of rectangular safety holes cut into the upright column, shown in the left and middle photos, for being plugged with safety pins in case of contingency;
3. Limit switches: Installed at both ends of movement stroke;
4. Boom elevation transmission: Shown in the right photo, leadscrew in light duty Welding Column and Boom; Chain and sprocket in medium and heavy duty Welding Manipulator.

Slides 5: The High Strength Solid Upright Column in Wuxi JACK Column and Boom Automatic Welding Equipment:

This page of Slides is on upright column, which is the most important assemblies in Welding Column and Boom:

1. Vertical Stroke of Boom in Welding Manipulator:

a) Similar to DX series Beam End Face Milling Machine, in LHZ series Welding Manipulator, the No.1 important specification of this welding equipment is vertical stroke of boom;
b) For example, LHZ50xx Welding Column and Boom refers to 5000mm vertical stroke;

2. Development and Workmanship of the Upright Column in Welding Column and Boom:

Correspondingly, the three critical process control points during design and manufacturing the Welding Column and Boom are:

1) Design and Machining in Order to Delivery of the Welding Manipulator:

a) Leaves sufficient margin of the column cross section size during design;
b) Integrally precisely machined;
c) Heat treated for guaranteeing mechanical property;
2) Guiding Rails: Heavy duty precise rectangular cross section guiderails for guiding boom movement in the Welding Manipulator;
3) Column Revolve: The right photo shows the precise slewing support for guiding of the column revolve.
