Ceiling-Mounted Bridge Rail Welding Gun Suspension System

Description

The ceiling-mounted bridge rail system suspends a portable spot welding gun over a rectangular work area. A trolley travels along the bridge while the bridge itself travels along parallel runways; paired with a properly sized tool balancer, the system delivers controlled movement through all three axes of motion. Capacities range from 150 to 4,000 lbs, with rectangular coverage up to a 34-ft bridge span and 124-ft runways standard, and standard support distances of 20, 25, and 30 feet. Depending on ceiling height, the runways mount directly to building beams or hang from threaded rod cross-braced to pipe or structural supports. Because the system is ceiling-mounted, no floor-standing support steel interferes with the handling operation — the work area stays clear of obstruction. A building with adequate overhead structure is required to hang the crane.

Features

• Capacities from 150 to 4,000 lbs.
• Rectangular coverage with up to a 34-ft bridge and 124-ft runways standard; support distances of 20, 25, and 30 feet.
• Enclosed track protects the rolling surface for easy trolley movement and long service life.
• Rigid runways for superior load positioning — no drifting or “crabwalking” of the bridge.
• No floor support structures, keeping work areas clear of obstruction.
• Smooth rolling surfaces for easier movement of bridge and trolleys.
• Multiple track profiles and spanning capabilities — adaptable, flexible, and cost competitive.
• Simple installation.

Options

• Aluminum or stainless steel track.
• Aluminum or coped aluminum bridge.
• Cantilevered supports.
• Seismic Zone IV construction.
• Motorized bridge and trolley drives.
• Galvanized finish or custom paint colors.
