What to Look for When Buying Used LJ Welding Equipment
LJ Welding Automation products are built with heavy-duty steel construction, precision gear drives, and industrial-grade electrical components designed for demanding fabrication environments. Here is what to inspect on used units.
On positioners, test rotation and tilt drives. Cycle the positioner through full rotation range and verify smooth, consistent speed from minimum to maximum RPM settings. On gear tilt models, test the tilt mechanism across the full range (typically negative 5 to 105 degrees) under load if possible. Check the worm gear drive for backlash, excessive noise, or vibration. Verify that dynamic brakes hold the workpiece securely at any tilt angle and rotation position.
On turning rolls and vessel rotators, check rollers and frames. Inspect polyurethane or steel roller surfaces for flat spots, delamination, cracking, or excessive wear. Verify that all rollers rotate freely and that powered rollers deliver consistent, variable-speed rotation. On growing line systems, test the linear travel mechanism for smooth, accurate positioning. Check the frame and base for structural cracks, weld repairs, or alignment issues that could affect vessel tracking.
On column and boom manipulators, verify all axes. Test the column vertical travel, boom horizontal travel, and boom cross-travel for smooth operation, accurate positioning, and consistent speed control. Check the boom for deflection under load at full extension. On SAW-equipped manipulators, verify the welding head mount, wire feed system, flux delivery, and seam tracking electronics.
Verify electrical systems and controls. Confirm clean power-up on all control panels and variable frequency drives. Test foot switches, hand pendants, and remote controls for reliable operation. Verify that ground capacity matches your welding requirements (200A to 400A+ depending on model). On systems with robotic or cobot integration, test all communication interfaces and programming functions.
LJ Welding Gear Tilt Positioners
The gear tilt positioner series provides powered variable-speed tilt and rotation for workpieces from 1.5 to 12 tons. The T3PSX (1.5 ton) serves light to mid-range applications. The T6PS-100 (3 ton) is the mid-level workhorse with adjustable center heights from 30 to 50 inches. The T12PS-100 (6 ton) and T24PS-100 (12 ton) handle heavy fabrication with adjustable center heights up to 82 inches. The 1RPT-100 provides a 1.6-ton robotic welding positioner platform. All models integrate with manipulators and robotic welding systems for fully automated cells.
LJ Welding Pipe Turning & Benchtop Positioners
Pipe turning positioners (30P-200 at 5,400 lbs through 24,000-lb models) handle heavy-wall, large-diameter pipe spooling with support from one or both ends. Headstock and tailstock systems accommodate long shafts, pipes, and cylindrical assemblies. The 12P-900 benchtop positioner (1,000 lbs, 12-inch turntable) with the 08P-200 provides portable capability for lighter fabrication. Floor welding turntables serve flat-position welding on large assemblies.
LJ Welding Turning Rolls & Growing Lines
Growing line systems (20TGL-400, 40TGL-500, 60TGL-100) automate vessel and tower section growing at 20, 40, and 60-ton capacities. Alignment and turning roll sets (10TMR, 12TS, 20TSR) handle pipe alignment for double jointing and spool fabrication. Tank fit-up rolls (ALG-412 roller bed, ALG-512 fully automated) align tank shell sections. Fixed-height vessel rotators at 60, 80, and 120-ton capacities serve heavy pressure vessel and wind tower fabrication.
LJ Welding Manipulators, Pipe Titan & Cobots
Column and boom welding manipulators (up to 16 by 16-foot reach) carry SAW heads for automated longitudinal and circumferential seam welding on tanks, vessels, towers, and structural fabrications. The Pipe Titan system (small bore and HD large bore) automates pipe welding for spool fabrication, boiler manufacturing, and pipeline construction. LJ Welding's cobot system brings collaborative welding and cutting automation to shops addressing skilled welder shortages, with educational deployments at institutions including SAIT.
