12P-900: 12” Portable floor model benchtop pipe welding positioner
The 12P-900 is a sturdy 12” outer diameter (OD) portable floor model bench top welding positioner. It’s built to suit making of cylindrical welding items such as pipe fittings and exhaust components. This positioner is ideal for spooling fabrication of lighter weldments.
With a load weight capacity of 1,000 lbs. at the chuck face, 12P-900 best suits lighter weight welding tasks. It offers both rotation and tilt of workpieces. Consistent rotation speed is made possible through its powerful 3,000 in-lbs. turning torque. It offers a flawless variable rotation speed ranging from 0.5 to 5 rotations per minute (RPM).
Its 12” OD turntable is compatible with a 12” chuck. The table also has concentric grooves to ease central positioning of the workpiece. The portable pipe turning positioner has a custom tilt range to suit your own needs. Easily change the tilt or rotation to provide the optimum angles for welding.
The 12P-900 runs on a standard 110V, 1-ph power input. It has a standard 800Amp ground capacity. Custom ground capacities of 200Amp, 400Amp and 1500Amp made available on request.
Accessories
The 12P-900 has a several accessories that can be added for improved performance and efficiency. For added convenience, the scissor lift cart add-on is popular for its ability to conveniently move the positioner and its load (up to 1,600 lbs capacity) safely through your shop. Additionally, pipe stands, roller stands and tripod stands are commonly paired and frequently purchased together with the 12P-900 portable welding positioner.
Fixtures
The 12” OD chucks and grippers are common positioning fixtures used to safely lock in the workpiece prior to operation. Elbow jigs are ideal for welding of elbow pipe, making it safer, faster and your shop more productive.
Controls
A standard foot pedal with a forward/reverse control is a common add-on, and the speed controlled foot pedal allows for optimum hands-free operation experience. The portable welding positioner can be modified to have an HMI touchscreen that can be fully integration to an L J welding manipulator or welding robot.
