3. PROBLEM STATEMENT
• Welding is one of the most prominent operation in fabrication industry. It
is easy to weld regular shapes but to weld a circular component it is
required to rotate the work at a constant speed in order to achieve
uniformity and quality of the weld.
5. METHODOLOGY
• State and Define Problem Statement
• Literature Survey
• Analysis of the Problem
• Designing the Model
• Fabrication and Testing
Pictures of the welded
parts using the
positioner.
6. CALCULATIONS TO FIND THE RPM
Velocity Formula,
V = 𝜋𝑑𝑁
Diameter of the component,
d = 60mm
Time required for welding,
t = 4seconds
= 0.06minutes
V = distance/time,
= s/t
Distance = circumference,
= 2𝜋 ∗ 30
= 188.49mm
= 0.1885m
V = 0.1885/0.06
= 3.1441m/min
N = V/ 𝜋d
= 3.141/
= 16.66rpm
7. GEAR RATIO RELATED
CALCULATIONS
Chain sprocket for velocity
control
No of teeth of the input gear/sprocket
Z1=13
No of teeth of output gear/sprocket
Z2=52
Let N1 be the speed of the motor ,hence the
speed of the input gear.
Let N2 be the speed of the output gear
Gear ratio =Z2/Z1 = N1/N2
=52/13 =4
= 4 = N1/N2
= N2 = N1/4
Therefore the speed of the welding table will
be 4 times slower than the speed of the motor.
Torque of the welding table will be 4 times the
Torque at the motor shaft.

17. CONCLUSION
1. By cylindrical welding positioner we can weld cylindrical work piece
and valve flanges easily, which makes productivity higher and also
reduces the work of labor.
2. Welding positioner totally satisfies the requirements of the job.
3. It considerably reduces the operators fatigue and time required for the
process.
4. This positioner requires less amount of power so it helps to achieve
minimum power consumption.
5. Precise and the noiseless operation is generated, it handles the bulky
assembly efficiently. Less skilled worker is required.
18. SCOPE OF FUTURE WORK
1. In this welding positioner, welding gun is held in hand which can be
automated.
2. In case of gas welding, the whole machine can be automated by
manufacturing a stand for holding the gun.
3. A larger chuck can be used for larger diameter work pieces.
4. Entire positioner can be controlled using a microprocessor to increase
automation.
5. Currently the welding positioner is used with welding gun which is fed
manually and has a spring return mechanism which can be replaced and
automated with pneumatic cylinders.
6. The entire positioner can be controlled using Microprocessors to increase
automation
