Rotating support to allow welding of vessels or containers, uses fixed and adjustable headstocks with radial arms having sliding blocks that grip the vessel which can then be raised and located to optimum welding position

摘要

The support has a fixed motorized headstock (A) and an adjustable headstock (B). Each headstock carries a grip with radial arms carrying sliding blocks that are extendable so the blocks fit over the sides of the vessel. The shaft supporting the grips can be raised hydraulically to lift the vessel to the working height. The rotary motors are driven hydraulically through solenoid valves.
