Electrical arc welding, or CO2 welding, is typically performed with a handheld tool, which makes achieving a uniform weld challenging and can lead to issues such as blow holes, resulting in poor weld quality and increased welding time. To address these challenges, a multi-axis welding positioner is used, incorporating a proximity sensor to ensure consistent and uniform round welds. This positioner enables both continuous and step-by-step welding, with adjustable angles of 60°, 90°, and 120°, and a variable speed range from 0 to 20 RPM. The system provides a uniform finish at a lower cost and includes a tilt-table that supports job angles from 0° to 45°, improving efficiency and weld quality while saving time and money. The project focuses on the design, development, and analysis of the multi-axis welding positioner. The design of the components was approached using both theoretical methods and simulations conducted with ANSYS Workbench. The unit was successfully fabricated, and extensive testing was carried out to evaluate its performance in both continuous and discontinuous welding, as well as its ability to handle inclined positions. This report outlines the design, manufacturing process, and testing of the multi-axis welding positioner.
