Welding Column and Boom 3×3 Meter
WM 3030 welding column and boom is designed for stable, accurate, and efficient welding operations on cylindrical and heavy fabrication workpieces. The machine is composed of a column system with lifting, sliding carriage, anti-falling device, and balance weight device, together with a boom system that includes the rack and boom driving mechanism.
The whole structure adopts welded construction with good rigidity. After welding, stress is removed and the guide rail surfaces are machined to ensure high precision and wear resistance. It is suitable for use in automatic welding systems and can be combined with welding heads, flux recovery units, and traveling carts for integrated production.
- Effective stroke of column: 3000 mm
- Effective stroke of boom: 3000 mm
- Vertical rotating angle: ±180° motorized
- Boom expansion speed: 0.12–1.2 m/min stepless adjusting
- Front end loading of boom: 250 kg
- Motorized cross adjusting at front-end: 100 × 100 mm
Rigid Welding Manipulator for Accurate Operation
WM 3030 welding column and boom uses a rigid welded structure to provide stable support for welding heads and related accessories. After welding, the structure is stress-relieved and machined to ensure guide rail precision and better long-term wear resistance.
This helps the machine maintain smooth movement, stable positioning, and reliable welding support during continuous industrial use.
Designed for Safe and Practical Operation
The guide rail material is 16Mn and undergoes heat refining treatment to extend service life. The machine also includes a safety anti-falling device using a bar and pawl structure, which can quickly stop the boom from falling if the elevating chain breaks.
Fence protection, inspection platform access, and protective ladder cover are included to support safer daily inspection and maintenance.
Structure Features
Main design characteristics that support precision, stability, and ease of operation.
Column System
The column includes lifting device, sliding carriage, anti-falling device, and balance weight device for stable vertical movement and safer operation.
Boom System
The boom includes rack and boom driving device, providing controlled expansion and steady support for welding heads and accessories.
Stress-Relieved Welded Structure
All main welded structures undergo stress removal after welding, followed by machining to ensure rigidity, precision, and guide rail durability.
Heat-Refined Guide Rail
The guide rail is made of 16Mn material and heat refined to improve wear resistance and extend service time.
Stepless Speed Regulation
The boom uses frequency stepless speed regulation, offering large torque at low speed for stable movement and controlled welding support.
Integrated Safety Design
The anti-falling mechanism, inspection platform, protective fencing, and ladder cover improve maintenance convenience and operator safety.

FAQ
Common questions about WM 3030 welding column and boom.
1. What is the working range of WM 3030?
The WM 3030 has 3000 mm effective vertical stroke and 3000 mm effective horizontal boom stroke, making it a 3×3 meter model.
2. How is the boom movement controlled?
The boom uses frequency stepless speed regulation, with expansion driven by AC motor, reducer, and rack-and-pinion transmission.
3. What safety feature prevents boom falling?
The machine includes an anti-falling device using a bar and pawl mechanism. If the elevating chain breaks, the pawl quickly inserts into the bar under spring force to prevent boom falling.
4. Can HALDEN customize other column and boom sizes?
Yes. In addition to standard models, other custom column and boom configurations can be customized according to project needs.
