HOW IT WORKS/BROCHURES

WHY BUY?

The fabricators in New Zealand who commissioned a Stierli-Bieger Beam Rotator are reporting the following advantages that are available to your workshop:

Clients of SMS using the Stierli-Bieger beam rotators are reporting receiving an ROI within 3 months if working two shifts or 6 months based on one shift
The welder can have the profile at a comfortable operating & welding height to improve arc on efficiency over the complete shift and avoid becoming tired as the shift is ending.
The profile can be rotated so the welder can be applying the weld at 45 degrees instead of 90 degrees
Welders are reporting additional job satisfaction and self-esteem when they understand they have never been able to fabricate and weld so many profiles in a shift previously
A significant and measurable increased tonnage and capacity per m2 of workshop space available without increasing headcount or putting on the 2nd shift
The profiles can be rotated 360 degrees whilst in the rotator without using the overhead crane so the overhead crane can be used for other material handling activities. Welders are not waiting for overhead cranes that may be loading/unloading trucks or being used in other welding bays
An improvement in man-hours required to fabricate and weld provides a competitive advantage to every project that deploys the beam rotators.
The heat from the welding process can be efficiently spaced out over the profile that is easily rotated to avoid any rework on-site from heat-affected welded profiles
40-50% arc on efficiency improvement so the one welder using the beam rotator can increase capacity and improve schedules
Fast turning for grinding and visual inspection
Several rotators can be used in a line for very long parts to rotate efficiently and safely
Efficient for testing the quality of the fabrication and fit-up prior to welding
Any profile over 300mm is ideal for the beam rotator
The rotators can easily be moved from the welding bay to the next with a forklift or overhead crane
Safety and rotating of beams has improved largely fabricated profiles and limits soft tissue injuries when manually rotating profiles
Ideal for rotating off-center profiles
The older fabricator/welder is reluctant to 'give over' the beam rotator to the younger staff member as they have 'done their time' fabricating the hard way with traditional material handling methods
Trusses, semi-trailer chassis and other large structures can be rotated safely and efficiently so a workshop can extend into other steel projects and hit schedules and improve the bottom line
Additional man-hours are saved so the workshop can win more and do more
When a workshop commissions the latest welding technology that is 30% faster than traditional MIG welding whilst also using the beam rotator this improves the profitability of the welding bays so the business can win more and do more.
A fabricator will often start with the one container order of beam rotators and then order a 2nd container within 6 months so either 4-6 beam rotators are deployed within the workshop working 1-2 shifts per day.
Steel Beam Assembly clients are using these beam rotators around the world as Stierli-Bieger is a recommended provider from us to their clients. The SBA will keep four welders busy per shift when using these beam rotators so a 2nd welding robot may not be required from the steel beam assembler

Increase your productivity significantly – save over 30-40% of your working time.

The Stierli rotator was developed to turn heavy and large loads like beams and welded structures quickly and safely without a crane. This allows you to save a lot of working time and increase productivity. This welding positioner or welding manipulator functions as a lifting and rotating device with reliable chains.

The turning device is not only used for beam welding but other sections can also be turned with it, e.g. the use as a pipe turning device. Loading is impressively simple with the overhead crane or by pushing the rotator to the sides.

The rotator is also available with rollers. However, the smaller models can be positioned very easily with the hand pallet truck, whereby the distance between the stands of this welding device is freely selectable.
