Construction:
BODE self-Alígníng (patented) Rotators provide an economical and practical answer of cylindrical vessel rotating problems.
The unique design permits the rollers to align themselves to the workpíece wíthout any manual pre-adjustment whatsoever and írrespective of ovality or irregularíty.
The vessel remains central to the frames irrespectíve of diameter, and frequent adjustment of the welding head becomes unnecessary.

SAR 4000 Specíal
80 tonnes capacity.
Drive Sectíon equipped with thyristor control. Idler Section lncorporates Anti-Creep device.
SAR 5000/H
250 tonnes capacity.
Dríve Sectíon equipped with thyristor
control. Idler Section incorporates AntiCreep devíce. A hydraulíc facility is incorporated which enables the vessel sectíons to be readily aligned.

T/sAR/s. Splít Frame Models
The 2400, 6000 and 12000 in this range incorporate Split Frames with leadscrew adjustment to allow the trunnion bracket
assemblies to be moved across the frames.
This additional Bode feature permits a far wider range of vessel diameters to be supported on all four wheels. A secondary
leadscrew adjustment is in place to move both trunnion assemblies 40 mm off centre line. This provides for lìning up of the vessel
strakes.
Whatever your req uirement —large or small, short or long — you will find that Bode has the solution in Stationary or Traversing
Self-Aligning Rotators.
Get in touch today to discuss your production needs and let Bode meet your needs in full.

As is to be expected of Bode machinery, all
Traversing self-Aligning Rotators are built to the highest standards with quality materials and components:
• Robust, all-steel construction
• lnverter controlled traversing and rotation at welding speeds.
• All rollers of the Drive Section positively driven.
• Clutches incorporated in top rollers of the Drive Section to prevent damage to transmission during loading.
• On unloading easy-pivot roller brackets operate in reverse, moving to their resting position, ready to take next piece.
• Idler Section can incorporate manual or electric anti-creep feature to restrict vessel creep' to +/-1 mm.
