JY Multi-Axis Welding Positioners
Compare the JY-16SP, JY-16Y, JY-18 and JY-81/T arrangements for multi-angle welding and loading access. The JY-18 adds a lifting/sliding L-type arrangement, while the JY-16SP listing separates A/B station loads.

Compare the JY-16SP, JY-16Y, JY-18 and JY-81/T arrangements for multi-angle welding and loading access. The JY-18 adds a lifting/sliding L-type arrangement, while the JY-16SP listing separates A/B station loads. Select by the fixture sequence and operator loading boundary, not the number of axes alone.
Choose a welding positioner by the orientation the torch needs at each joint, then calculate the workpiece, fixture, clamps and adaptors as one rotating assembly. The load figure alone cannot resolve an offset center of gravity, a long overhang or a clamp that crosses the robot path. Start with the largest assembly and the most restrictive weld, including how the finished part leaves the fixture. For a headstock-tailstock arrangement, record support spacing and the locating method at both ends. For a tilt-rotate unit, check the complete swept envelope at every planned angle. Define indexed positioning and coordinated welding motion separately because their controller, feedback and commissioning requirements differ. A quotation should identify the drive package, controller interface, grounding route, fixture responsibility and acceptance checks rather than leaving these as assumed accessories.

Which configuration fits the task?
Single-axis
Rotate a supported part when its joints are reachable without additional tilt.
Tilt and rotate
Add joint orientation while checking offset load and swept clearance.
Multiple stations
Separate load/unload and welding only after the whole cycle and safeguards are defined.

Questions before you request a quote
01How should I select JY Multi-Axis Welding Positioners?+
Compare the listed arrangements: JY-16/SP/500 / JY-16/SP/1000 / JY-16/SP/1500 / JY-81/T / JY-16/Y/500 / JY-16/Y/1000 / JY-16/Y/2000 / JY-18/300 / JY-18/500 / JY-18/1000. Start with loaded mass, center of gravity and overhang, then define fixture datums, clamping and unloading path. Use the model table to shortlist equipment and the project drawing to decide the final configuration. A family name alone does not define the supplied package.
02Does rated load include the fixture?+
Size the moving assembly with the fixture, workpiece, clamps and adaptors. Ask for the allowable center-of-gravity offset, torque and inertia for the chosen configuration. A load label is not enough to approve an eccentric assembly or establish the permitted welding motion.
03What determines the equipment quotation?+
A multi axis welding positioner quotation depends on the selected model or arrangement, tooling, control package, services, safeguards, testing and delivery scope. Separate equipment-only supply from complete-cell integration. Confirm quantity, destination, documentation, packaging and site work in the written proposal; prices and availability are not inferred from catalog values.
04Can the quotation include integration and commissioning?+
The proposal can define equipment sourcing and partner-supported integration as separate work packages. Specify mechanical and electrical installation, software, commissioning, training, FAT/SAT, spares and service ownership. Existing robot/controller versions and site utilities must be identified before an interface or installation commitment is agreed.
05What should I send to request a project proposal?+
Send loaded mass, center of gravity and overhang; fixture datums, clamping and unloading path; indexed or coordinated axes; controller revision. Add drawings, quantity, destination and the acceptance method. Identify existing equipment by model, nameplate and software revision. These inputs allow the technical proposal, interfaces and commercial exclusions to be discussed together.
