Light Duty Welding Manipulator with 2m Cross Travel & 2m Lift Stroke, Slewing Base, Compact Design for Small Workshops

This compact light-duty welding manipulator, also known as a welding column and boom, is purpose-engineered for small and medium fabrication workshops that need flexible automatic welding capability without occupying excessive floor space. Built with a 2-meter horizontal cross travel, a 2-meter vertical lift stroke and an integrated slewing rotating base, it delivers a wide working range while maintaining a space-saving footprint.

Paired with welding rotators or positioners, this unit performs consistent longitudinal seam and circumferential seam welding on pipes, stainless steel tanks, process kettles, shells and cylindrical vessels. It replaces inconsistent manual welding, stabilizes weld quality, reduces rework and polishing time, and helps fabricators automate their tank and vessel production line with a budget-friendly solution.

The rotating slewing base is a standout feature: operators can swivel the whole column-boom assembly to align with different workpieces, making it extremely adaptable for busy small workshops with multiple welding stations.

• Wide Working Range in a Compact PackageWith both 2m cross travel and 2m lift stroke, this manipulator offers a surprisingly large working envelope while still fitting inside small workshops. You get the reach you need for medium-sized tanks without the footprint of large heavy-duty manipulators.
• Slewing Base Boosts Workshop FlexibilityThe rotating base lets you swing the boom out of the way for loading and unloading tanks and pipes. One machine can serve multiple welding stations, improving equipment utilization.
• Consistent, Repeatable Weld QualityConstant-speed mechanical travel eliminates the speed variation common with manual welding. Heat input stays stable, resulting in smooth, uniform weld beads with less oxidation, fewer pores and less post-weld grinding. Ideal for sanitary stainless steel tank seams.
• Excellent CompatibilityWorks seamlessly with standard welding rotators and most brands of welding power sources. It handles both longitudinal straight seams and circular circumferential seams on cylindrical parts.
• Easy Operation & Low Training RequirementThe handheld remote puts boom extend, lift, speed adjustment and start/stop controls at the operator's fingertips. Staff without advanced welder qualifications can run the machine after short training.
• Robust Construction & Low MaintenanceIndustrial standardized drive components and anti-wear sliding parts ensure long service life. Spare parts are widely available, making routine maintenance simple and affordable.

This compact welding manipulator is widely used by small to mid-size fabricators:

• Sanitary stainless steel food and pharmaceutical tank manufacturing
• Process kettle and mixing vessel production
• Industrial pipe and pressure pipe fabrication
• Water treatment and environmental equipment barrels
• Boiler auxiliary shells and general metal cylindrical fabrication

Every welding manipulator is fully assembled, run-tested and trial-welded before shipment. We supply English operation manuals, installation drawings and remote video guidance. We also offer custom upgrades such as automatic seam tracking systems and motorized slewing bases according to your production requirements.

If you need a flexible automatic welding solution with a 2m travel range and rotating base for your small workshop tank fabrication, this compact column and boom manipulator is a reliable, cost-effective choice.
