KP1-HC single-axis positioner with counterbearing

The KP1-HC single-axis positioner with horizontal rotational axis consists of a drive and counterbearing with a hollow shaft. It is available with a payload capacity of 500, 750, 1,000, 1,500, 2,000 or 4,000 kilograms. Tool radii of 800 to 1,470 millimeters offer maximum possible flexibility in system design.


Advantages of the KP1-HC single-axis positioner:

  • Broad portfolio:
    Thanks to the wide range of tool radii, loading heights and payload capacities that are available, you can enjoy the greatest possible flexibility when designing your system.
  • Integrated hollow shaft:
    The hollow shaft integrated into the counterbearing can be used to route the energy and fluid supply lines in a highly space-efficient and convenient manner.
  • Infinite rotation:
    Thanks to its infinitely rotating design, the KP1-HC is optimally positioned and can be used without limitation in any axis orientation.
  • Low space requirements:
    Thanks to its compact design, the KP1-HC single-axis positioner can be easily integrated anywhere. Enjoy greater creative freedom in the planning process.
  • Flexible alignment:
    The length compensation of 5 mm integrated into the counterbearing enables compensation of tool carrier tolerances. 
  • Insulated face plate: The face plates are electrically insulated as standard. This simplifies the integration process and improves the longevity of the positioner, particularly in the case of arc welding.
  • High welding power:
    Weld with up to 1000 A with a duty cycle of 100%.
