2) Bending into Structured Part: Then bend the cut out steel plates into shape by means of different tonnage Press Brake;
3) Fabrication: Next fabricate the cut and bent steel structure plates into final shape of rectangular column;
4) Heat Treatment: Finally, carry out advanced and strict heat treatment on fabricated assemblies, to acquire on stress relief and gaining tough mechanical strength of mechanical frame;
5. Guidance and Transmission: The heavy duty linear guide rail/ gear and rack/ pivot cross slides, are all assembled onto cross slides of Welding Console Manipulator.

B. Ingenious Design and High Strength Cross Slides in Welding Column and Boom:

1. Key Role of Cross Slides in Operation of Welding Console Manipulator:

1) Function: The movement of welding torch for welding operation is realized by means of its horizontal boom movement with respect to upright column, in the direction of horizontal X axis and vertical Y axis. Such both direction position management is guided and transmitted by way of cross slides, which is assembled at intersection point of horizontal boom and upright column:
2) Up and Down Movement: With elevation of horizontal boom, the welding torch height level can be managed, based on size and diameter of workpieces;
3) Leftward and Rightward Movement: By means of horizontal extending and retreating of horizontal boom, the operating reach of welding torch can be controlled;
4) Welding Speed: When performing on longitudinal seam welding, horizontal movement of boom equals to movement of welding torch. For this reason, horizontal boom leftward and rightward speed is working welding speed of Welding Column and Boom, which is controlled with A.C. inverter, and displayed in digital manner in real time on operating panel;

2. Different Structures of Cross Slides in Wuxi JACK Light / Medium / Heavy duty Manipulator Welding Machine:

1) Task and Working Force: As shown in the above 4 photos, movement of horizontal boom along X and Y axis are driven with rolling friction force, instead of gliding friction force. This means, contact surface between 2 moving surfaces is guided with rolling rollers in cross slides, instead of direct touch and sliding force;

2) Light Versus Medium and Heavy duty Welding Console Manipulator:

The cross slides structure in different loading capacity Welding Column and Boom are different:
a) The above 1st and 2nd photo shows the cross slides in light duty models welding equipment;
b) The above 3rd and 4th photos show the cross slides in medium and heavy duty welding equipment;
3) Cross slides of Wuxi JACK light duty Welding Column and Boom: (Fig.8)
Fig8 Welding Column and Boom Welding Manipulator 2- IMG_1392
In small to medium duty models, horizontal boom movement along X and Y axis are guided with 4 pieces of guiding rollers, which are installed at 4 corners of the cross slides respectively:
4) Cross slides of Wuxi JACK medium and heavy duty large Welding Console Manipulator:(Fig.9)
Fig9 Welding Column and Boom Welding Manipulator 4- IMG_0676
Horizontal boom movement along X and Y axis are guided with 4 groups of guiding rollers: Each group of guiding rollers has 3 pieces, assembled at the 4 corners of the cross slides, encircling the guiding rail.

Fig11 Welding Manipulator Welding Column and Boom 2- IMG_1392

2. Horizontal Boom Linear Movement and Upright Column Revolve in Welding Console Manipulator:

1) High Precision Cross Roll Bearing as shown in the above the 5th photo, for guiding and transmitting the upright column 0° ~360° revolve. This cross roll bearing is a piece of advanced machined and heat treated circular bearing, combined with circular rack;
2) Heavy duty High Precision Linear Guiderail and Racks: Guiding and transmitting units for fulfilling linear movement of horizontal boom, as shown in the above 6th photo: The movement is guided with precise heavy duty rectangular cross section linear guiderail, and transmitted with high precision rack;
3) The Assembled Cross Slides: The central guiding and transferring unit for guiding horizontal boom along X and Y axis movement.

Operation on Manipulator Welding Machine

1. Safety Assurance on During Operation on Manipulator Welding Machine:

1) Protecting Horizontal Boom from Sudden Falling Down:

Shown in the above 1st photo:
a) The biggest safety hidden risk during operation of Welding Column and Boom is sudden falling down of horizontal boom when it is at high level position, which may do great harm on personnel working on site, and prime condition of utility and facility;
b) To avoid this from happening, there is a row of rectangular holes being cut in the upright column. During work, if ever chains break off and lead to sudden falling of the horizontal boom, the rachet safety pins will be ejected out immediately, and plugged into rectangular holes, thus firmly locking the horizontal boom into that position. This is marked in yellow frame in the above 1st photo;
c) The climbing ladder alongside the upright column in Welding Console Manipulator is surrounded with protection rails, as shown in orange frame in the above 1st photo;
2) Brake Motor: The driving motor for horizontal boom elevation is braking type. This gives double assurance on protecting the horizontal boom from unexpected falling down;
3) More information on safety measures taken in Wuxi JACK LHZ series welding equipment is introduced in product section of “Industrial Use Welding Column and Boom”.
