BASESLIDER SWINGARM MICRO SWINGARM TOPSLIDER

The Lorch Roundseam Baseslider is a simple round seam system for workpieces weighing up to 620 kg. It impresses with its robust de-sign and large working space between rotational axis and base.

The Lorch Roundseam Swingarm Micro is a universal and highly flexible round seam solution for smaller workpieces weighing up to 25 kg that re-quire especially high precision.

The Lorch Roundseam Swingarm is truly a jack of all trades for round seams workpieces weighing up to 270 kg. The supporting arm, which is continuously ad-justable from 0 – 90°, always enables the optimal welding position – e.g. for flange welding.

The Lorch Roundseam Topslider is an automation solution that meets the highest industrial demands. The system is suitable for a wide variety of workpieces having a diameter of up to 1500 mm, a weight of up to 5200 kg and a length of up to 16 m, such as rollers and tanks.

LORCH ROUNDSEAM BASESLIDERThe Lorch Roundseam Baseslider is a simple round seam system for workpieces weighing up to 620 kg. The Baseslider impresses with its robust design and large working space between rotational axis and base. Typical applications are simple automation tasks such as the welding of long workpieces such as rollers, pipes and small tanks. With the cost-effective manual positioning of the torch, the Baseslider is especially well-suited for all workpieces with high piece counts and low variation or for occasional small series production.
