Abstract: Welding and cutting are the two most prominent operations in the fabrication industry. And both the operations
usually require 2 or more people to perform them with speed. One or two people to hold the work and the other person to
perform welding or cutting on the work. Sometimes it is also required to turn the work continuously in case of cylindrical
structures to achieve sealing of the containers using welding. To make this task easier we here design a rotary welding turn
table with chuck arrangement to allow for easy welding and cutting operations using a single operator. The table top welding
turntable uses a geared motor arrangement with a firm design to rotate the chuck. This Motorized chuck is mounted on a
horizontally movable arrangement so that work can be held in suitable position for the welding/cutting operations. The
machine can be driven by a battery control that allows for easy operation and rotation speed control of the chuck.

3. Block Diagram 4. Proposed System

In this project the motor arrangement has the main role

in the working of the model. A table is mounted on the
frame such that it can be moved front and back with the
help of bearing setup at the four corners of the table. A dc
motor is mounted on the one end of the upper frame and
the shaft of the motor is coupled with the chuck. When the
motor is operated the table moves in x direction. The total
setup is constructed on a single frame. The working
principle of a weld positioner is the same for all work
pieces whether big or small. They form a plane of rotation,
which is perpendicular to the floor. You can place large
sets of tooling on these positioners. The machine can be
driven by a rf remote control that allows for easy
operation and rotation speed control of the chuck. This
makes it a completely adjustable rotating welding cutting
table system. However, a weld positioner is more than
just a rotating table and this rotary Welding turn table
with chuck arrangement is to allow for easy welding and
cutting operation using a single operator.

5. Conclusion

This project is made with pre planning, that it provides

flexibility in operation Smoother operation by the medium
of “360° WELDING CUTTING ROTARY TURN TABLE
WELDING POSITIONER” in this equipment. It significantly
reduces the fatigue of the operators as well as the amount
of time needed for the operation. It generates a precise
and noiseless operation. It efficiently manages the bulky
Front View assembly A lower-skilled worker is required. The controls
are mounted in an ergonomic location on the front side of
the assembly. This project is designed with the hope that it
is very much economical and help full to many industries
and workshops. This project helped us to know the
periodic steps in completing a project work.

6. Future work

This project could be developed into an automated Turn

table positioner by automating the rotation of the Rotary
turn table. So that the welding process can be simplified
and manpower requirements reduced. Robotic
technologies can help automate this process. This aids in
the attachment of the robotic arms to the turntable, with
the arm serving as a holder for the welding material. As a
result, welding can be done with precision using robotic
Side View arms, requiring less manpower. As a result, our long-term
goal is to automate this 360-degree welding rotary turn
