A positioner is an essential auxiliary device in welding operations. It rotates and positions workpieces to enable robots to achieve ideal processing positions and working speeds. Positioners can be customized according to different applications and requirements, including parameters such as different rotational axes, positioning accuracy, and movement speeds. RV reducers, with their high precision of 1 arc-minute (positioning accuracy up to ±0.01°), high rigidity (load capacity up to 10 tons), and low backlash (less than 1 arc-minute), have become the core component of welding positioners.

System Integration Solution of 120C RV Reducer for E-Bike Frame Welding Positioner Workstation

Servo Motor → RV Reducer 120C → C Positioner Turntable → D Frame Fixture

Adopts a dual-station design: while one station is welding, the other handles loading/unloading.

The RV120C directly drives the turntable spindle, eliminating transmission chain errors.

Custom flange plate adapts to frame fixtures (compatible with quick changeovers for multiple models).

Technical Advantages of RV Reducer Demonstrated

1. Accuracy Assurance

Welding path deviation reduced by 62%, decreasing subsequent correction man-hours.

Key hole alignment error on the frame is ≤0.15mm (industry standard is ≤0.5mm).

2. Efficiency Improvement

Repositioning time shortened to 3.2 seconds/90° (original worm gear mechanism required 8.5 seconds).

Workstation overall OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) reaches 91%.

3. Maintenance Cost

Maintenance-free period >20,000 hours (compared to 5,000-hour maintenance for planetary reducers).

Unplanned downtime reduced by 85%, achieving annual maintenance cost savings of approximately ¥120,000.
