Turning Bench

The GD electrohydraulic turning bench is a device specially designed for industrial purposes, intended for the safe, precise, and quick rotation of large or heavy workpieces. The bench provides an ideal solution for any process where repositioning of parts is essential during manufacturing, assembly, welding, or maintenance.

Turning Bench Design and Operating Principle

The turning bench consists of a robust steel frame, moved by hydraulic cylinders. The table is attached to the base frame with a hinged connection, allowing it to tilt from one side to the other, up to a 90° range. The movement is powered by precise and powerful hydraulics, capable of handling even large workpieces safely. In the tilted positions, the table is supported by flexible bumpers, which dampen the movement’s end point and reduce the dynamic load on the structure. This stable support ensures safe operation, even in the tilted position.

Control and Safety Features of the Turning Bench

The tilting table can be controlled in the following ways:

• Radio remote control – providing maximum freedom and comfort for the operator.
• Backup push-button control unit – ensuring the device can still be operated in case of a system failure.

The control system is ergonomic, easy to use, and complies with industrial standards. The system includes safety limit switches, overload protection, and emergency stop functions.

Benefits and Features:

• Powerful electrohydraulic operation designed for industrial use
• Safe operation: bumpers, end-of-travel protection, redundant control
• Bidirectional tilting for maximum flexibility
• Modular design with customizable sizes and load capacities
• Easy handling via radio or push-button control
• Heavy-duty steel construction with long lifespan and low maintenance requirements

The GD electrohydraulic turning bench offers an effective and safe solution for rotating large workpieces in industrial environments. The precise control and robust construction allow for adaptation to various manufacturing and assembly processes. Ergonomic operation reduces physical strain while increasing work safety and productivity. The system’s modular design can be optimized to meet specific needs, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial applications.

Applications:

• Metalworking shops
• Welding stations
• Automotive and railway manufacturing
• Assembly lines
• Machine manufacturing and heavy industry
