Enhancing welding automation with VARVEL gearboxes

The Varvel Group is a leading force in designing and manufacturing gearboxes and variable-speed drives, catering to small and medium-power stationary applications. With a global presence spanning over sixty countries, Varvel is committed to delivering innovative solutions to industries worldwide.

One collaboration that showcases Varvel’s commitment to excellence is its partnership with Turkish welding technology specialists, EKO Machine & Welding.

Founded in 2014, EKO specializes in manufacturing machines tailored for welding automation systems, particularly focusing on submerged, Mig, Mag, Tig, and plasma welding processes. With a dedication to continuous improvement, EKO ensures that its machines meet the highest quality standards through rigorous Research and Development activities.

Thanks to the presence of a skilled and experienced team, EKO provides comprehensive services, including installation, staff training, troubleshooting, spare parts provision and ongoing customer support, ensuring that their clients receive unparalleled assistance throughout the entire lifecycle of their equipment.

EKO rotators: maximum reliability thanks to Varvel’s double-stage worm gearboxes

Among EKO’s flagship products are its rotators: solutions designed to withstand harsh working conditions and rotate workpieces weighing 5 to 150 tons. EKO’s rotators are pivotal in facilitating the welding process by allowing cylindrical pieces to be rotated clockwise and anticlockwise with extreme precision and sensitivity.

EKO relies on Varvel’s double-stage worm gearboxes (RT/RT series) to achieve optimal performance and reliability in its rotators. Renowned for their simplicity and operational trustworthiness, our gearboxes are seamlessly integrated into self-aligning rotating systems, enabling automatic adjustment to grasp materials of varying diameters during welding. This integration ensures smooth rotation of the workpiece without manual adjustments, enhancing efficiency and productivity.

And there’s more: EKO’s inverter systems, which include one motorized and one idler converter, further enhance the functionality and versatility of their welding automation setups.

Once again, Varvel’s worm gearboxes have demonstrated their prowess as the ideal solutions for medium-power drive applications. Engineered for easy maintenance, maximum efficiency and extreme adaptability, our solutions seamlessly integrate into a wide range of industrial applications, meeting the diverse needs of demanding users worldwide.
