Pandjiris 60-12 6,000 lb Welding Positioner

Description

Heavy-duty tilt and rotate positioning up to 6,000 lb

The Pandjiris 60-12 MVRMTAB is a 6,000 lb welding positioner for heavy fabrications such as pressure-vessel heads, pump casings, flanged spools and structural nodes. A 2 HP rotation drive turns the 48 in square table at a variable 0.03 to 0.73 RPM with Forward-Stop-Reverse switching and dynamic braking, and a 2 HP AC brakemotor tilts it through 135 degrees. The adjustable base has five pinned height positions so the table can tilt fully with large parts mounted.

Pandjiris also offers the 60-12 MVRMT-VPL, which replaces the pinned base with a vertical power lift on an acme jack screw running at 27 in/min. Its table height is infinitely adjustable between 54 and 78 in above the floor, with overtravel limit switches and Up/Down buttons beside the tilt controls.

Load derating and site preparation

The 6,000 lb rating holds up to 12 in from the table face. Beyond that Pandjiris lists 4,615 lb at 18 in, 3,750 lb at 24 in, 3,158 lb at 30 in, 2,727 lb at 36 in, 2,400 lb at 42 in and 2,143 lb at 48 in. Long or tall assemblies often exceed the derated value even when their weight is well below 6,000 lb, so the centre of gravity of part plus fixture should be calculated before ordering.

The drawing gives a rotation offset of 5-1/4 in and an inherent overhang of 6-9/16 in. With an approximate shipping weight of 4,500 lb, the machine needs a level floor capable of carrying the positioner and its load, and the specified supply voltage must match the plant network; 460 V and 230 V are the listed options. The equipment is high-frequency protected for TIG work.

Listed options include foot switches (Forward/Stop/Reverse or variable speed), a preset digital tachometer, the Dialweld travel-speed meter, a 25 ft extension cable, 600 PT and 1200 PT copper welding grounds, a 48 in round table, encoder feedback for precise speed control, a pendant with tilt buttons and wireless foot switch or pendant.

About brand

Pandjiris, Inc. of St. Louis, Missouri, has built weld positioning and welding automation equipment for more than 75 years. Its range includes welding positioners, manipulators, turning rolls, self-centring grippers, seam welders, slides and swivels, head and tailstocks, turntables and weld controllers. Seven Star LLC, an independent supplier in Muscat, lists the Pandjiris 30-6 positioner and sources Pandjiris positioning equipment for fabrication shops.

Pandjiris positioners and automation

Standard positioners run from small fixed-base and pinned-tilt units to power-elevating models for heavy loads, and drop-centre or gas-chambered versions are built to order. Pandjiris often combines positioners with manipulators to form mechanised cells for MIG (GMAW) and submerged arc work on pressure vessels, pipe, tanks and structural parts.

Ordering Pandjiris equipment: what we need

Give the model, base type and input voltage. For new applications, send the workpiece weight, its centre of gravity from the table face and its largest swing diameter. We check the rating against the Pandjiris specification sheet and provide it on request.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the rated load of the Pandjiris 60-12?
6,000 lb with the centre of gravity 12 in from the table face and 12 in eccentricity.
Which supply voltage does the 60-12 use?
460 V three phase, 60 Hz, 10 A as standard; a 230 V, 15 A version is available and must be specified when ordering.
How fast does the table rotate and tilt?
Rotation is variable from 0.03 to 0.73 RPM. The powered tilt covers 135 degrees in 45 seconds.
What is the difference between MVRMTAB and MVRMT-VPL?
The MVRMTAB has a pinned adjustable base with five heights; the MVRMT-VPL adds a vertical power lift setting the table between 54 and 78 in.
How big is the worktable?
48 in square with four T-slots for 5/8 in T-nuts, a 3 in pilot hole and a 2 in through hole.
