Floor Turntables

Built for the Floor, Ready for More: Versatile Welding Turntables

Koike Aronson, Inc. welding floor turntables are built to meet the demands of the shop floor with precision, reliability, and lasting durability. Designed to provide continuous 360-degree rotation of a workpiece, these robust turntables streamline operations by minimizing repositioning and enhancing operator access, all within a compact footprint. Whether you're working in a fabrication shop, a manufacturing cell, or an industrial production line, these turntables transform the way you handle and weld large components.

While their core application lies in welding, these versatile machines have proven useful far beyond the arc. Our customers have deployed Koike floor turntables to create dynamic public displays, such as rotating metal statues, and to facilitate product assembly in tight workspaces by simply turning the component toward the operator. This multipurpose capability underscores the turntable’s role not just as a welding tool, but as a solution to spatial and operational challenges.

How Can a Welding Floor Turntable Change How You Work?

A welding floor turntable gives you the power to rotate your weldment with precision and control, no lifting, no repositioning. This not only improves weld quality, but also reduces operator fatigue and setup time. For pipe and tube welding, combining the turntable with a torch holder stand or manipulator ensures a steady weld feed rate, which is critical for uniform, high-quality welds.

Whether you're working on heavy fabrications or long cylindrical assemblies, this setup delivers safer, faster, and more consistent results, raising both productivity and weld integrity.

Why Consider Welding Floor Turntables?

Welding floor turntables are a specialized solution aimed at making welding processes more effective. Here’s how they make your job easier:

• Optimal Positioning: With motorized variable-speed 360° rotation, floor turntables make it simple to position a workpiece exactly where you need it.
• Heavy Lifting: Designed to handle weight capacities up to 40,000 lbs, they allow you to tackle projects that are otherwise challenging to maneuver manually.
• Time-Saving Productivity: By rotating workpieces into optimal positions, the turntables reduce downtime caused by repeatedly adjusting or handling objects manually.
• Safety for Workers: Improved positioning reduces awkward working angles, cutting down fatigue and minimizing the risk of injury.

Industrial Floor Turntables and Welding Automation Solutions

Welding floor turntables are at the forefront of welding automation solutions. By integrating these devices into your workflow, you can perform tasks quicker and with greater accuracy.

• 1. Adaptability: No matter the size or complexity of your project, these turntables are engineered to meet unique requirements. For instance, Koike’s floor turntables come in two designs, each tailored to specific workloads and project demands.

• -The free-standing "A" frame for standard use.
• -The column design for higher capacity and flexibility.

• 2. Seamless Rotation: Varied speed controls give you the power to maintain steady output without sacrificing precision.
• 3. Enhanced workflow: Welding professionals can accomplish intricate designs like circular welds or evenly spaced seams with consistent quality. This wouldn't be possible with fixed or less mobile tables.

Who Benefits the Most from Welding Turntables?

Whether you're welding, assembling, repairing, or showcasing, a welding floor turntable offers remarkable versatility and value across industries.

• Fabricators: From custom one-offs to high-volume runs, fabricators benefit from the ability to rotate complex workpieces with precision, improving accuracy and reducing handling time.
• Manufacturing Plants: Ideal for repetitive tasks such as circular welds, these turntables enhance production efficiency, ensure consistent quality, and help maintain lean operations in tight workspaces.
• Independent Welders: Small shops and mobile welders gain a competitive edge by increasing throughput with minimal labor, delivering professional, consistent results that impress clients and save time
• Designers & Artists: Sculptors and metal artists use floor turntables to rotate heavy pieces during finishing or public display, adding movement and function without compromising stability.
• Assembly Teams: In any industry where parts must be aligned, adjusted, or fitted from multiple sides, such as HVAC, light machinery, or electronics, turntables simplify the process and reduce the need for excessive floor space.

Whether in the field, on the shop floor, or in a public space, Koike’s welding turntables prove that smart rotation isn’t just for welders, it’s for anyone looking to work smarter, safer, and more efficiently.
