A manipulator consists of a base and a vertical column. The column rotates 360 degrees around the vertical axis. A saddle travels up and down the vertical column, carrying a boom that moves in and out along the horizontal axis. A welding head with different weld gears for TIG, MIG, or SAW can be mounted on either end of the boom and positioned to the desired welding position.
For heavy-duty or precision welding, it is singularly the most versatile piece of equipment directly associated with automatic welding. It is designed to duplicate the functions of a human being, as related to welding, but it can carry out these functions on distance and weight scales that a human alone cannot approach. When mounted on a travel car, it also movers along the shop, performing a variety of welding functions at the various stops.
