JY Multi-Axis Welding Positioners
JY multi-axis positioners combine workpiece orientation with different loading and station arrangements. Compare JY-16SP, JY-16Y, JY-18 and JY-81/T according to the fixture sequence, access around the part and operator loading location.

Workpiece support and weld orientation
JY-16SP distinguishes station loads, while JY-18 adds a lifting/sliding L-type arrangement. Map which motion presents the weld and which exchanges the station. Define guarded loading zones and fixture services independently of the number of axes.
A welding positioner changes the workpiece orientation so the torch can reach the joint in a suitable position. Choose the supporting structure first: a table, headstock-tailstock, trunnion or offset arm loads the mechanism differently. The moving assembly includes the part, fixture, clamps and attached services. Center of gravity, inertia and the distance from each axis are as important as nominal mass. Check the complete rotating envelope with doors, robot, cables and loading equipment. Decide whether the workpiece indexes between welds or moves in coordination with the robot during welding.

Define what you need supplied
Single-axis rotation
Present joints around one workpiece axis with suitable fixture support.
Tilt and rotation
Change joint angle and presentation; check the offset load at both axes.
Multiple orientations/stations
Combine part orientation with a defined exchange and protected loading sequence.
Match the equipment to your installation
Provide anchoring, fixture attachment, welding return, services and clearance for the loaded mechanism. For coordinated motion, identify controller, servo/drive package, axis licenses and calibration responsibilities. Plan loading and recovery without reaching into moving equipment. Check each required orientation with the fixture fitted, including clamping, cable behavior and removal of the finished part.
| Selection factor | Information to specify |
|---|---|
| Loaded assembly | Workpiece and fixture mass, center of gravity, inertia and axis offsets. |
| Support geometry | Fixture mounting, support span, swing radius, clamp envelope and loading height. |
| Motion requirement | Indexing or coordinated motion, required angles, zero references and travel limits. |
| Services and access | Welding return, pneumatics, sensor cables, protection and finished-part removal. |

Product and ordering questions
01What are the applications of JY Multi-Axis Welding Positioners?+
JY multi-axis positioners combine workpiece orientation with different loading and station arrangements. Compare JY-16SP, JY-16Y, JY-18 and JY-81/T according to the fixture sequence, access around the part and operator loading location.
02Can the rated load be used for any fixture offset?+
No. The complete part-and-fixture mass must be evaluated with its center of gravity, axis offset and inertia. A long or off-center fixture changes the load case even at the same mass. Provide the assembly drawing and required motion so the selected mechanism and drive can be checked together.
03What should I consider when choosing JY Multi-Axis Welding Positioners?+
JY-16SP distinguishes station loads, while JY-18 adds a lifting/sliding L-type arrangement. Map which motion presents the weld and which exchanges the station. Define guarded loading zones and fixture services independently of the number of axes.
04What should the equipment package include?+
Identify the selected equipment and separate the following packages: single-axis rotation, tilt and rotation, multiple orientations/stations. State which accessories, controls, installation, programming and commissioning are included. This makes equipment-only and integrated proposals comparable without assuming identical supply scope.
05How can I request a quotation for JY Multi-Axis Welding Positioners?+
Send the required model or arrangement, quantity and destination, plus workpiece and fixture mass, center of gravity, inertia and axis offsets; fixture mounting, support span, swing radius, clamp envelope and loading height. Add photographs or drawings and identify existing equipment. TubeFrame can then discuss model sourcing, configuration and partner-supported integration as separately defined work packages.
