OVERVIEW

Industrial-Grade Automation for Heavy Fabrication

The ESAB RT15 Fixed Height Welding Positioner is a powerhouse solution designed for heavy industrial manufacturing environments. Engineered to handle massive workpieces weighing up to 15 tons, this unit is an essential asset for facilities specializing in pressure vessel fabrication, large-diameter pipe welding, and heavy structural steel components. By automating the rotation of large parts, the RT15 streamlines workflow, reduces crane usage time, and significantly boosts overall shop throughput.

Constructed with a rigid, fixed-height steel frame, the RT15 prioritizes stability and durability. Its robust gear-driven rotation system is built to withstand the rigors of continuous daily operation, ensuring long-term reliability and a high return on investment. The unit features precision speed controls that allow for exact rotational settings, essential for maintaining consistent weld quality across varying diameters and processes. For procurement managers and shop foremen, the ESAB RT15 represents a strategic investment in efficiency, safety, and capacity.

Safety is paramount when handling 15-ton loads. The RT15 includes integrated grounding systems to protect internal components from welding current damage, extending the lifespan of the equipment. Its intuitive control interface minimizes the learning curve for operators, allowing for immediate integration into existing production lines. Whether you are outfitting a new bay or upgrading existing capabilities, this positioner delivers the performance required for high-stakes industrial projects.

FAQ

The ESAB RT15 is rated for a maximum load capacity of 15 tons (approximately 15,000 kg). Always consult the load center of gravity chart in the manual.

No, this specific model is the 'Fixed Height' version, meaning the table height is static. ESAB does offer adjustable height models in other series.

Heavy-duty positioners like the RT15 typically require 3-phase industrial power (e.g., 480V or similar). Please check the specific electrical plate on the unit or the manual for exact voltage requirements.

Yes, provided the rotation speed can be set slow enough for your specific diameter and the machine is properly grounded to prevent high-frequency interference.

Rotation speed is typically controlled via a remote hand pendant or a foot pedal, allowing the operator to adjust speed dynamically while welding.

Due to the extreme weight (15 tons capacity implies a very heavy machine), this item requires specialized freight shipping. Please contact customer service for a freight quote.

Positioners are generally sold with a slotted faceplate. Chucks or grippers are usually sold separately as accessories depending on the workpiece size.

Fixed height positioners offer maximum rigidity and stability for extremely heavy loads compared to adjustable height models, and they generally have fewer moving parts to maintain.
