How to Size a Positioner HOW TO SELECT A GEAR DRIVEN POSITIONER TO BEST MEET YOUR NEEDS The illustration below shows a typical capacity plate that we attach to each Aronson Gear Driven Positioner. This happens to be the capacity plate for a Model HD400 Aronson Gear Driven unit. An HD400 is designed to handle loads up to 40,000 lb (18,140 kg) with a CG at a distance from the surface of the table of 12 in (300 mm). All the information required for loading the positioner is either on the capacity plate, or it can be simply calculated from the data on the plate.

Tilt Torque Load To find your weldments’ Tilt Torque Load, add the Inherent Overhang (inches) to the distance (inches) the weldments’ CG is from the table top surface. This is measured perpendicular to the table top surface. Then multiply this total distance in Inches by the weight of the weldment. Do not exceed the maximum load torque shown in the ‘tilt’ column on next page.

Rotation Torque Load To find your weldments’ Rotation Torque Load, multiply the weldment weight in pounds by the distance in inches that center of gravity (CG) will be from the center of the table. This measurement is taken parallel to the table surface. Do not exceed the maximum load torque shown in the ‘rotation’ column.

How About Swing Clearance When selecting a positioner, don’t forget to leave clearance to swing the work above the floor when the table is in the full tilt position. This is a common error in specifying positioners. For excessive work-pieces, Aronson positioners are available with manually adjustable bases, or powered Elevating bases which adjust the table height for larger work. Fixed-base machines also can be elevated by using a riser or sub-base.

Other Factors to Consider Practical Center of Gravity (CG) as it effects Gear Driven Positioners

• CG of a weldment is exactly in the center of a symmetrical weldment.

• ‘A’ is a symmetrical weldment: There is no top or bottom, just sides, the CG of a weldment is usually near the center of the weldment.

• The ends and two sides of a 1 inch steel plate. Each end is 1”x12”x12” and weighs 40.8 lbs. Each side is 1”x12”x34”, weighs 115.6 lbs; 115.6 lbs x 2, plus 40.8 lbs x 2 equals 312.8 lbs. (Steel weighs approximately .283 lb/cu. in.) If one end is secured to the table of a Gear Driven Positioner, the CG will be 18 inches out from or above the table. If either side, or the open top or bottom is secured to the table, the CG will be 6 inches above it.

• ‘B’ is also a symmetrical weldment: A 2 inch plate rib has been added in the middle, making the weldment a stiff column. The 2”x10”x34” steel rib weighs 192.7 lbs so the weldment now weighs 505.5 lbs. The rib being right in the middle added weight equally in opposite directions from center, so the CG is still in the dead center.

• ‘C’ is an un-symmetrical weldment: We want a box instead of a column, so we add a 2 inch thick bottom to weldment ‘A.’ 2”x12”x36” steel weighs 244.6 lbs so total weight is now 557.6 lbs. But the CG will not be at 7 inches, halfway from top or bottom, because we added nothing to the top to balance the weight of the bottom. We made no change at either end, and the bottom is as much left as right, so the CG remains 18 inches in from either end.

• The CG always moves toward any part that is added to a symmetrical weldment. Locating the CG is a function of moments. “Moment” means force or tendency to produce motion. A “moment” is weight multiplied by length (arm), like a lever. And like a lever, we must have a hinge point, a reference plane. The top surface of a Gear Driven Positioner’s table is our reference plane. Load Capacity tables give ratings for various distances the CG is above the table, so this is very handy. Whenever possible, weldments should be mounted with the heavy side next to the table, so let’s figure it that way.

• Each separate symmetrical part will have a known weight and CG, and the CG will be a known distance from the table top surface. Multiplying weight by distance (arm) gives the pound-inch (lb-in) moment of the part. Adding all the moments and dividing by total weight gives the location of the CG of the weldment.

We don’t need to take each end and each side separately because the side and ends make symmetrical mass weighing 312.8 lbs, with the CG in the center of that mass. With the 2 inch plate between it and the table, the CG will be 8 inches above the table. 312.8 lbs x 8 in. = 2,502.4 lb-in.

The 244.8 lbs bottom’s CG is 1 inch above the table. 244.8 lbs x l in. = 244 Ib-in.

Adding 244.8 Ib-in and 2,502.4 Ib-in equals 2747.2 lb-in Total Moment. Dividing 2,747.2 lb-in Total Moment by 557.6 total weight locates the CG 4.9 inches above table top surface.

Koike Aronson Ransome Universal Balance Positioners allow safe and quick manipulation of large, awkward work objects when it is critical to maintain an efficient down-hand welding position. A welder can position objects up to 4,000 lbs by simply applying fingertip pressure and does not need to raise a helmet or break an arc.

The Universal Balance principle is to intersect the rotational axis center of gravity with that of the tilt axis. Work pieces can then be rotated 360 degrees around both axis and in most cases around the Positioner column. A universally balanced load allows effortless access to any desired location upon a mounted fixture.

UBSeries Setup

1. Find Center of gravity for rotation.

Workpiece should be placed on positioner with the center of gravity coinciding with the rotational axis of the table. Movement of the object around table rotational axis is almost effortless. In order to prevent over-travel of mounted objects, Koike Aronson has applied friction bands to the rotation point of the worktable which generates slight resistance and allows the load to be stopped at any desired point.

Center of Gravity Rotates Easily

Koike Aronson universal balance positioners allow welders to maintain the most productive 10˚ downhand welding position.

Vertical Up— 4-1⁄4 in per min

2. Finally, balance workpiece by adjusting wormgear so tilt axis intersects center of gravity of rotational axis.

By a simple adjustment to the wormgear, the tilt axis can be aligned to intersect the rotational axis. At this point, both axes intersect the object’s center of gravity and move freely in any direction.

HDSeries HD160 to HD700

The HD160 - HD700 series positioners are built to perform with larger capacities with their strong boxed chassis and high precision gearing.

Positioners larger than the HD240 are equipped with massive box beam trunnions, spur gear final drive for table rotation, and aluminum-bronze wormgear drive of the spur tilt pinions.

The only thing that contradicts the large capacity of this series is their portability. They can be easily moved anywhere to tackle the largest of jobs.

PESeries 25P/E to 250P/E

The 25/PE - 250/PE series Positioners provide all of the same benefits of the GE models but at a more affordable cost.

The powered-elevation design makes maximum use of proven commercially available components, both in the elevation and guidance systems.

Elevation is made possible by means of commercial ball screw jacks for high duty cycle operation, driven by a worm/wormgear arrangement. Elevation uses two of these screw jacks for redundancy, coupled together and driven by a common motor. Belts, chains, and transfer gears are no longer utilized in the design. Guidance is by means of wide, large diameter cam followers bearing on flat guide-ways. Cam follower contact with the guide-ways is adjustable for wear. Guidance is provided in the front, back, and at the sides of two columns that rigidly support the cantilevered load.

FTSeries FLOOR TURNTABLES

There are two basic types of floor turntables provided by Koike Aronson Inc. / Ransome. A free standing ”A” frame and free standing column design are used depending on size and capacity.

Machine capacities of 2,500 lb and less utilize the “A” frame design. The “A” frame type turntable has a hollow spindle and uses pre-loaded tapered roller bearings. The bearing housing and main support “A” frame house the motor and gear reducer below the table, with no protrusions to prevent interference or damage to parts or equipment.

Machine capacities of 6,000 lb and more utilize the free standing column design. The column design floor turntable uses a large diameter slew ring bearing and center column for supporting the load. Table deflection is reduced, while direct drive to the gear teeth on the bearing reduces maintenance. All Koike Aronson Inc. / Ransome floor turntables are variable speed rotation using variable frequency inverter drives for smooth acceleration and deceleration control. Koike Aronson, Inc. / Ransome rotation axis are repeatable within ± 0.005 Inches per inch of radius, with a consistent load, speed and direction.

Capacities from 250 to 40,000 lb

OPTIONS By the nature of design and function, the majority of optional equipment for Koike Aronson/

Ransome Positioners should be installed at the time of manufacture. When ordering positioners, it is therefore important to consider all optional features and equipment.

Radio Remote Controlled Pendant The Koike Aronson/Ransome Handheld Radio Remote Controlled Pendant is user friendly and adaptable to any Positioner. The weatherproof and lightweight pendant includes a resettable E-Stop and speed potentiometer for complete, safe machine control. A magnetic holder allows operator to keep remote out of harms way when not in use.

Universal Control The programmable controller is designed to receive and memorize optimum work piece positions and increase productivity. The standard programmable control provides up to 3 part programs with 20 positions. The programmable Positioner System is designed to increase productivity of manual welding applications as well as aiding in the transition from manual to robotic welding applications. Built in I/O, can accept and provide “In position” signals to any robotic control. There is no need to reprogram a Positioner welding sequence; all existing programs can be utilized.

Safety Laser Scanner Increases safety and is adaptable to any Positioner. Tied electronically to the Positioner, any intrusion into the programmed scan area produces an E-Stop condition. It provides protection for operators and eliminates part collisions with the floor or other obstacles.

Special Tables Many standard table options are available, From round to square, machined or scribed. Standard t-slot configurations to customer specified bolt hole patterns and pilot configurations.
