H-FRAME

H-Frames facilitates a dual workpiece configuration with an added vertical rotation sweep axis to maximize arc time. It provides two separate areas that allow one side to be dedicated to robotic operations and another for loading workpieces by the operator. Each component is rotated on a horizontal axis between a headstock and tailstock unit that precisely positions the piece for the robot to work on.

The DR-TR 3-axis H-Frame robot weld positioning system offers a zero-backlash servo driven cam system that does not require additional wedge lock or shot pin systems to achieve high accuracy on the (zero) exchange axis. Thes H-Frame trunnion positioning systems utilize the TR Series servo gear head with high torque capacity. For the dual trunnion headstocks, allows for a 2 second 180° rotation on a load of up to 4000lbs per side and 3 meters between faceplates.
