Stationary Medium Duty Column and Booms of the 2RMB - Range

BODE Column & Boom Manipulators are built to 8 different designs since it is not possible to cover the whole range of machines from a single design. The ergonomic design of BODE manipulators ensures operator safety, and excellent welding results with maximum productivity.

They have been developed over many years of experience; each covers a range of sizes with desired weight to be carried at the end of the boom. In developing the different groups we have taken into consideration the very exacting requirements under which a Manipulator might have to operate.

Stationary Medium Duty Column and Booms of the 2RMB - Range

BODE Column & Boom Manipulators are built to 8 different designs since it is not possible to cover the whole range of machines from a single design. The ergonomic design of BODE manipulators ensures operator safety, and excellent welding results with maximum productivity.

They have been developed over many years of experience; each covers a range of sizes with desired weight to be carried at the end of the boom. In developing the different groups we have taken into consideration the very exacting requirements under which a Manipulator might have to operate.

This applies particularly to boom deflection when in its highest and most extended position; bearing in mind the heavyweight is sometimes carried on the boom.

Automatic welding heads are designed to be mounted on a robust vibrationless structure, and by mounting the welding head on a Column and Boom Manipulator it can be readily brought to the required welding position and moved along the weld preparation at the required welding speed.

Globally the Bode range of Column & Boom Manipulators stands out not only for innovation in design and quality of manufacture but also for reliability and robustness.

Features

• 360° powered column rotation with manual locking at any position.
• Variable speed boom.
• Boom elevation through the geared motor rack and pinion drive with electro-magnetic brake.
• Elevation and traverse drive mounted on saddle providing for easy access servicing and maintenance.
• Machines fully counter-balanced by column internal weight, connected to the saddle by heavy duty wire rope. The anti-fall device offers a full safety feature.
• Extra wide rollers and unique slideways ensure minimum deflection traversing.
• Innovative machined ‘V’ ways to column ensure that the boom saddle moves smoothly with no vibration. This reduces wear and tear.
• Free standing or variable speed traveling carriage.
• Optional fittings, including welding heads, available.
