The GST T1X-TL Series is a heavy-duty 1-axis positioner designed for operation as part of an automated thermal spray system. The unit provides controlled workpiece rotation and is intended for applications where long or heavy components must be supported between centers during coating.
The GST T1X-TL Series is a heavy-duty 1-axis positioner designed for operation as part of an automated thermal spray system. The unit provides controlled workpiece rotation and is intended for applications where long or heavy components must be supported between centers during coating.
The published series covers loading capacities from 500 to 5,000 kg and a distance between centers from 200 to 3,500 mm. A fixed rotary-axis height of 600 mm provides a defined process centerline, while rotation speed is adjustable up to 300 rpm depending on the selected configuration.
Rotation-speed accuracy is specified at ±1 rpm and positioning accuracy at ±0.1°. These values support repeatable workpiece motion when the positioner is integrated with a robot or spray-gun manipulator and the coating path requires a controlled rotational relationship between the gun and component.
The T1X-TL can be connected as an additional external axis to an industrial robot. This makes the positioner suitable for automated coating cells where the workpiece rotation must be synchronized with robot motion, spray distance and traverse speed.
Key benefits
- Heavy-duty load range from 500 to 5,000 kg.
- Between-centers working range from 200 to 3,500 mm for long components.
- Single controlled rotary axis for repeatable circumferential coating operations.
- Rotation speed up to 300 rpm.
- Rotation-speed accuracy of ±1 rpm.
- Positioning accuracy of ±0.1°.
- 600 mm rotary-axis height provides a defined machine centerline for cell engineering.
- Can be integrated as an external robot axis in automated thermal spray cells.
System Integration
The T1X-TL is intended to operate as a rotary workpiece axis within an automated coating cell. Long parts can be supported between centers while the spray gun is carried by a robot or dedicated manipulator.
When integrated as a robot external axis, the rotary motion can be coordinated with gun travel so that circumferential surface speed, spray angle and stand-off distance remain consistent along the programmed coating path. The final control interface and fixture arrangement are project-specific.
Applications
The T1X-TL Series is intended for long or heavy components that benefit from between-centers support and controlled rotation during spraying.
- Long shafts, rolls and cylindrical components.
- Hydraulic rods and other elongated rotational parts.
- Heavy workpieces requiring support at both ends.
- Automated circumferential coating with robot-synchronized rotation.
- Thermal spray cells where a defined 600 mm rotary centerline simplifies gun-path programming.
FAQ
Why is a between-centers positioner useful for long workpieces?
Supporting the workpiece between centers helps control alignment and rotation of long components during coating, particularly where a single faceplate support would be unsuitable.
What center-to-center length range is published for the T1X-TL Series?
The current product specification lists a distance between centers from 200 to 3,500 mm.
What is the rotary-axis height of the T1X-TL?
The published rotary-axis height is 600 mm.
How tightly is rotation speed controlled?
GST specifies rotation-speed accuracy of ±1 rpm for the T1X-TL Series.
What angular positioning accuracy is stated?
The published positioning accuracy is ±0.1°.
How can the T1X-TL be incorporated into a robotic coating cell?
The product page states that the positioner can be connected as an additional external axis to an industrial robot, allowing workpiece rotation to be coordinated with robot motion.
