The ESAB RT3 Fixed Height Welding Positioner (3 Ton) is a premier solution for heavy-duty industrial fabrication shops seeking to optimize their welding processes. Designed to handle workpieces weighing up to 3 tons, this robust machine allows for the precise rotation and tilting of large assemblies, pipes, and vessels. By mechanically positioning the weldment, the RT3 enables operators to maintain a consistent welding speed and angle, which is critical for achieving high-quality code welds and maximizing deposition rates.
Constructed with a rigid, fixed-height frame, the RT3 offers exceptional stability, minimizing vibration even when handling maximum loads. The unit features a motorized tilt and rotation system, typically controlled via a remote pendant, allowing the welder to adjust the workpiece orientation without leaving their station. This capability transforms difficult vertical or overhead welds into efficient flat (1G/1F) position welds. The drive system is engineered for smooth, consistent torque, ensuring that rotation remains steady even at low speeds, which is essential for TIG and MIG processes on large diameter pipes.
Integrating the ESAB RT3 into your production line reduces material handling time and crane usage. Instead of constantly re-rigging and flipping heavy parts, the operator can simply rotate the piece to the next weld joint. This not only improves throughput but also significantly enhances safety by reducing the frequency of heavy lifts. The table faceplate is designed with standard slot configurations to accommodate a wide variety of chucks, grippers, and fixtures, making it a versatile asset for job shops and production environments alike.
