The OMBCH Heavy Duty Column Boom Welding System from Omni Machine Inc. is a state-of-the-art solution designed for large-scale welding operations. This system is engineered to ensure ergonomics during weld jointing processes, allowing operators to reach hard-to-access areas while welding large pieces and perform welding with minimal error.
The OMBCH system consists of a robust column and boom setup, designed to approach the most suitable area on the workpiece for performing the required welding process under operator control. The welding operation is performed with commands sent to the automatic unit on the boom.
Key Features:
- 360° Rotating Column: Manual rotation allows for complete coverage of the work area.
- Precision-Machined Components: One-piece and precision-treated sledges (up to 10x10m) ensure stability and accuracy.
- Interleaved Work Design: "V" cradles designed for both horizontal and vertical operations.
- High-Precision Slides: Precision-machined horizontal & vertical slides for smooth movement.
- Adjustable Boom Speed: Linear boom speed can be adjusted to suit different welding requirements.
- Remote Control: Comes with a remote controller featuring a 5-meter cable length for convenient operation.
- Digital Speed Indicator: Located on the controller panel for monitoring boom progress.
- Rapid Movement Control: Possibility to perform fast forward and reverse boom movements.
- Safety Features: Includes a counter-weight system for the boom and an anti-fall device to prevent boom drops.
- Zero Backlash Design: 3V type slide system ensures precise movements without play.
- Flexible Base Options: Fixed base with an optional rail system for increased mobility.
Available Models and Maximum Load Capacities:
The OMBCH series offers several models to accommodate various load requirements:
