C - DESCRIPTION
1 - DESCRIPTION
ROTAMATIC ST rotators are designed for rotating cylindrical pieces with variable diameters and weights,
depending on their range.
Each rotator is made of a low-floor frame and rollers that may or may not be powered, with adjustable
spacing.
The powered version of the rotator has an electrical cabinet.
It also has a remote control for both rotation directions, and a potentiometer for speed variation.
As standard, powered rotators make it possible to automatically start rotator operation with the start of
welding (simple external contact).
As standard, powered rotators display the linear speed in cm/min on the variable drive display in the cabinet.
The spacing of the rollers is adjustable by means of compound screws

1 - HANDLING OF ROTAMATIC
Sling the ROTAMATIC ST rotator in its wooden packaging as indicated in the drawing.
Unpack the ROTAMATIC ST rotator from its delivery packaging.
Sling the ROTAMATIC ST rotator, always using the opposite holes at each end.
Operator protection:

2 - PUTTING IN PLACE
The cross members of the rotators must be placed parallel in order to avoid screwing effects.
The centre line of the shell must be parallel to the line of the supporting rollers.
In order to line up the cross members, you may use the pads fixed symmetrically under the rotator frame as your
reference.
3 - FASTENING OF ROTAMATIC ST
This machine must imperatively be anchored to the floor with four anchoring points in a 20 Mpa (350 kg/m³) single
continuous concrete screed with metal reinforcement, completed since at least 21 days (standard BAEL 91).

4 - ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
The ROTAMATIC ST is connected electrically to the network by means of the five-metre cable located at the rear
of the supply cabinet.
The cable, which has four conductors, is to be connected to a standardised 3 x 400 V/50-60Hz system with
equipotential bonding.
VERY IMPORTANT
For compliance with European safety standards, the connection to the electricity supply is to be made via a wall-
mounted cabinet with an individual protective sectioning switch with rating appropriate for the mains voltage and
the consumption by the equipment
The protective sectioning switch must offer breaking capacity of 100KA.
We market cabinets that meet the criteria set out.

8695 6426 / B D - ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION
Before starting up, always make sure that the following setting up conditions and precautions
have been followed:
Set the centre distance of the rollers depending on the diameter of the shell to work on.
The cross members of rotators must be positioned under the pieces, away from any openings in the
shells and away from protruding parts that could hinder the rotation of the shell.
Balance the load on the two cross members on the basis of the tables below.
With polygonal pieces, the maximum permissible loads must be divided in half.

VARIABLE PITCH
The variable-pitch rollers are fixed to a compound screw (ref.4) that allows them to be positioned
symmetrically and accurately over the whole length of the frame.
They are positioned by turning a perforated screw (ref 3) using an appropriate hex key or a rod in the hole of
the screw.
Users are strongly advised against changing the position of the variable-pitch rollers when a
shell is placed on the rollers.
If pneumatic or electrical equipment is used for manoeuvring a compound screw, the operator must take
care to not strike the stops too hard.
ROTAMATIC ST 6 D-15
D - ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION 8695 6426 / B
Place the ROTAMATIC on the trucks and fix with the four L4
screws. (Check if ROTAMATIC is perpendicular to the tracks
before tightening the screws).
NB:
The pieces L5 are not used with ROTAMATIC ST6 and ST15.

This option allows the synchronised or non-synchronised operating of two powered ROTAMATIC. It makes it
possible to rotate a piece supported by several powered and idler rollers from a single remote control or a single
external control.
In synchronised mode, the maximum driven load is 3/2 times the load of the powered rotator:
For ROTAMATIC ST6: 3/2x6T = 9T

F - MAINTENANCE
1 - CARE
For a long and trouble-free life, the machine requires a minimum level of care and maintenance.
LUBRICATION
The reduction drives of ROTAMATIC ST have permanent lubrication and have no oil filling, topping up or draining
plugs.
As a result, they need no maintenance.
These reduction drives can operate at an ambient temperature from 0 °C to +50 °C.
In the event of pre-heating, the temperature of the shell area in contact with the tyres may not exceed 60 to
70 °C and the piece must be in continuous motion.

With automatic control, the connection is
not made between terminals 148 and 44
(right-hand rotation) or 148 and 43 (left-
hand rotation) to control the operating
direction.
Make the connection with a shunt or
external contact; see electrical
connections.
When using an external ± 10V setpoint,
check the presence of voltage between
terminals 23 and 24 (0V → no rotation).
The motor is not powered Check and replace the fuses FU2 if
needed.
Check that the thermal relays FR1 or
FR2 have not tripped.
Then check that the thermal relay is
correctly adjusted according to the table
below:
