1. The Wide Application and Importance of LBS series L type Welding Positioner:
1) If dividing the product family of Weld Positioner into two groups of routine type (The HB series Single Work Table Welding Positioner as introduced in the previous product sections) and particular type, this L type Weld Positioner is the first Welding Positioning Equipment which should to be mentioned;
2) As an important Welding Turning Table, the LBS series L type Welding Positioner is widely used in Vehicle Industry, Construction Machinery Industry, and Engineering Machinery Industry, for welding long length structure members which are used as sub assemblies during vehicle construction;
3) A supplement on this Section of L type Welding Positioner:
a) There are many variations in terms of degree of freedom, mechanical structure, quantity of Welding Turning Table in the sub group of LBS series L type Welding Positioner, depending on specific application demand from customers;
b) This product section is just the starting point of such Welding Turning Table. Due to its stationary linear motion along Z axis, which means, height of L arm can not be changed during working of the L type Weld Positioner, there is certain restrictions to function of its Welding Turning Table. So, many more types of complicated L type Welding Positioner are waiting ahead to be discussed in the later on product sections: Elevating type Single Table L type Welding Positioner, and Elevating type Double Table L type Welding Positioner, etc.
2. Distinction and Similarity of the LBS series L type Welding Positioner with Respect to HB series Single Work Table Welding Positioner:
1) Disparity between the Two types of Weld Positioner:
a) The L type Welding Positioner has different mechanical structure, and hence appearance at first glance compared with the Single Work Table Welding Positioner. Sometimes it is also called as I type Weld Positioner, depending on how you view it;
b) The L type Welding Positioner does not have working mode of tilting its Welding Turning Table, as in the case of Single Work Table Welding Positioner, because of no need; Instead, the L arm in this L type Welding Positioner can be revolved 0°~360° in vertical plane;
2) Common Points between the Two types of Weld Positioner:
a) Both types of the Weld Positioner have its Welding Turning Table capable of 0°~360° infinite rotation, and the corresponding revolving linear speed is adjustable with inverter;
b) As can be found from the above discussion, the L type Welding Positioner also has 2 control axes, or, in other words, 2 degrees of freedom.
3. Structure and Main Units of the LBS series L type Welding Positioner:
Please check attached design print and below sketch on L type Welding Positioner: (Fig.1)
A set of typical LBS model L type Welding Positioner is composed of:
1) Machine bed of the L type Weld Positioner:
This is the trunk of the Welding Positioning Equipment, for holding the entire L type Welding Positioner as a solid base;
2) Machine Column of the L type Welding Positioner:
This is for guiding the vertical plane revolve of the L arm, during working of the L type Welding Positioner;
3) L Arm of the L type Welding Positioner:
a) This is where this specific type of Weld Positioner got its name from. It is used for leading its Welding Turning Table rotation and revolve in the range of 0°~360°;
b) There is counterweight at its top (black color), to offset weight of Welding Turning Table and workpiece, maintaining balance on the whole set of L type Welding Positioner during running;
4) Welding Turning Table in the L type Welding Positioner:
a) Same as the Single Work Table Welding Positioner, the Welding Turning Table here is for fitting workpiece on its top;
b) Its revolving linear velocity is adjustable with inverter, and displayed with digital meter. In this sense, it is a variable speed Weld Positioner, or Weld Positioner with digital display, whatever.

4. Technical Parameters of LBS series L type Welding Positioner:
Due to its tailor made, the detailed technical specification of this L type Welding Positioner varies on specific models. Please see the subsequent product sections, such as 1Ton, 1.2Ton, 2Ton, 3Ton loading capacity of Welding Turning Table, etc.
