RW10-15 Redrock 10t Conventional Welding Rotator Set
The Redrock RW10-15 Conventional Welding Rotator Set, engineered to meet the demands of high-capacity cylindrical fabrication. This robust heavy-duty industrial system is built for rotating cylindrical vessels (such as pipes, tanks, and pressure vessels) during automated or manual welding, pipe turning rolls solution is the authoritative choice for workshops requiring precise manipulation of large-scale workpieces.
RW10-15 set comprises a dedicated Drive Rotator and a corresponding Idler Rotator, delivering a formidable 15 Tonne total rotation capacity. The conventional welding rotators utilise friction-driven rollers to seamlessly rotate vessels, allowing for consistent, high-integrity circumferential welding using both automated and semi-automated processes.
The system features precision-calibrated roller speed control, adjustable from a minimal 169 mm/min up to 1690 mm/min, ensuring optimal speed synchronisation for intricate welding procedures. The heavy-duty polyurethane tyres (Ø345mm X 130mm) provide reliable grip and uniform load distribution, minimising slippage and ensuring smooth, vibration-free rotation.
The Redrock RW10-15 15-tonne conventional welding rotator set enhances productivity, operator safety, and the highest standards of pressure vessels and large diameter pipe fabrication.
Features
- Heavy-duty features designed for high-precision fabrications.
- Solid Steel Chassis: Fabricated from heavy-gauge plate steel to prevent flexing under maximum tonnage loads.
- Polyurethane (PU) Tyres: Heavy-duty, high-grade PU tyres are bonded onto cast steel drums. They provide maximum traction, absorb shocks, and prevent workpiece slippage without marring stainless steel or exotic alloys.
- Manual Screw-Bolt Adjustment: Wheel brackets are manually adjusted across pre-drilled locating holes along the frame bed to precisely match the diameter of the vessel.
- Dual-Motor Synchronization: The powered drive unit utilizes two synchronized AC motors linked to high-efficiency worm reduction gearboxes for smooth, jerk-free rotation.
- Inverter-Controlled Speed: Uses a variable frequency drive (VFD) inverter to provide infinitely variable roller speeds (169 to 1,690 mm/min), allowing operators to perfectly match the required welding travel speed.
-
Low-Voltage Pendant Control: Features a robust, hand-held pendant operating on a safe low-voltage control circuit. The pendant typically includes:
- Forward / Reverse directional switching
- Speed control potentiometer dial
- Dedicated Emergency Stop (E-Stop) button
- Built-in Lifting Lugs: Integrated heavy lifting points on both the drive and idler chassis for safe workshop transport via overhead crane.
- Interface Compatibility: The main control panel includes interface connections to link seamlessly with automated column-and-boom manipulators or automatic welding heads.
- Overload Protection: Electrical circuitry features thermal overload protection to guard the motors against unexpected structural binding or imbalances in the workpiece.
