The GST T1X-H Series is a heavy-duty single-axis rotary positioner for automated thermal spray systems. It is designed to rotate large workpieces on a horizontal faceplate and can be integrated with a robot or spray-gun manipulator as part of a complete coating cell.
The GST T1X-H Series is a heavy-duty single-axis rotary positioner for automated thermal spray systems. It is designed to rotate large workpieces on a horizontal faceplate and can be integrated with a robot or spray-gun manipulator as part of a complete coating cell.
The published load capacity is up to 5,000 kg, with available plate diameters from 800 to 1,400 mm. Rotation speed is specified up to 300 rpm, allowing the selected model to be matched to both large-component handling and process-speed requirements.
The series provides rotation-speed accuracy of ±1 rpm and positioning accuracy of ±0.1°. These motion characteristics support repeatable angular positioning and controlled surface speed for automated spraying when the workpiece fixture and coating program are correctly engineered.
The T1X-H can be connected as an additional external axis to an industrial robot. In this arrangement, the workpiece rotation becomes part of the coordinated coating path and can be synchronized with gun movement around the component.
Key benefits
- Heavy-duty loading capacity up to 5,000 kg.
- Large rotary plate diameters from 800 to 1,400 mm.
- Rotation speed up to 300 rpm for a broad range of coating tasks.
- Single-axis architecture provides simple, robust rotary workpiece motion.
- ±1 rpm rotation-speed accuracy for repeatable process speed.
- ±0.1° positioning accuracy for controlled angular indexing and setup.
- Suitable for integration as a robot external axis.
- Well suited to large faceplate-mounted parts and fixtures.
System Integration
The T1X-H is intended for faceplate-mounted workpieces that require controlled rotation during automated spraying. The broad plate-diameter range allows custom fixtures to be designed for different component envelopes.
In robotic cells, the positioner can function as an external axis so that component rotation is synchronized with the spray-gun trajectory. Fixture design, center of gravity and dynamic loading should be considered when selecting the final positioner configuration.
Applications
The T1X-H Series is suited to heavy components and fixtures that can be mounted on a horizontal rotary plate.
- Large rings, discs and flanges.
- Heavy cylindrical components mounted on custom fixtures.
- Rotational parts requiring controlled circumferential coating.
- Large industrial components coated in robotic thermal spray cells.
- Processes requiring repeatable indexing to defined angular positions.
FAQ
What kind of workpieces are best suited to the T1X-H architecture?
The T1X-H is suited to large or heavy parts that can be securely mounted on a horizontal rotary plate, including rings, discs, flanges and fixture-mounted cylindrical components.
Which plate diameters are available in the published range?
GST lists plate diameters from 800 to 1,400 mm.
What is the maximum published loading capacity?
The current product page specifies a loading capacity of up to 5,000 kg.
How does the T1X-H differ functionally from a between-centers positioner?
The T1X-H supports the workpiece on a rotary faceplate, whereas a between-centers layout is intended for long parts supported along a defined rotational centerline.
Why is angular positioning accuracy important for a single-axis table?
Accurate angular positioning allows repeatable indexing of the workpiece to defined orientations, which can be useful when different surfaces are coated in a programmed sequence.
What should be checked when selecting a fixture for the T1X-H?
The fixture should be engineered around workpiece mass, diameter, center of gravity and required process speed. The published page provides overall positioner limits but does not specify a universal fixture design.
