Advanced assembly workbench for complex shaft operations

STAND PRK-7 is Designed for welding, assembly, straightening during repair and production of driveshafts.

Welding bench model PRK-7 is a device for repair of cardan shafts, which performs welding of factory quality ring seams. This equipment is adapted to work in repair shops and production facilities with serial production of products.

The stand allows, having previously set the cardan shaft with minimal runout, to weld the ring joints of the cardan gears in semi-automatic mode with constant uniform rotation and the necessary quality of penetration.

In addition, the stand has a straightening module, which allows you to adjust the curvature of the propeller shaft pipe directly on the stand.

The stand allows you to pre-position the cardan shaft with a minimum whip, weld the annular seams of cardan drives in semi-automatic mode with constant uniform rotation and the necessary quality of the penetration.

“With the help of the device, it is possible to process cardan shafts and other products, with parameters different from those presented above, if this does not interfere with comfortable work.

In addition, the stand has a straightening module, which allows you to correct the curvature of the cardan shaft tube directly on the stand.”

Multi-Function Processing Structure
  • Integrated welding, assembly, and straightening platform – Comprehensive workstation combines three critical driveshaft operations in single equipment, eliminating need for multiple machines while ensuring optimal workflow efficiency.
  • Precision rotary positioning system – Controlled rotation at 1.75-2.8 rpm provides constant uniform movement for consistent welding quality and penetration throughout circular seam operations.
  • Extended capacity accommodation – 4900mm platform accommodates driveshafts up to 4000mm length and 150kg weight, enabling processing of heavy truck and commercial vehicle applications.
Advanced Welding Integration
  • Semi-automatic and automatic welding modes – Dual operation modes provide flexibility from operator-supervised semi-automatic to fully automatic welding with automatic termination after complete revolution.
  • Uniform rotation welding optimization – Controlled rotation maintains consistent welding speed enabling optimal heat input and preventing distortion while ensuring quality around entire circumference.
  • Minimum runout setup capability – Precision alignment system enables driveshaft setup with minimal runout before welding, ensuring optimal quality and concentricity for balanced operation.
    Integrated Straightening System
  • Onboard straightening press module – Integrated straightening enables curvature correction directly on stand without workpiece removal, eliminating handling between operations while maintaining alignment precision.
  • Straightening prism system – Specialized prisms provide controlled support during tube straightening ensuring accurate correction while preventing surface damage and maintaining tolerances.
Versatile Mounting and Support
  • Comprehensive adapter system – Complete configuration includes flange adapters up to 250mm, centers, and slotted adapters providing versatile mounting options for diverse driveshaft configurations.
  • Adjustable pipe support system – Integrated support prevents sagging during operations while accommodating various lengths and weights, preserving dimensional accuracy throughout processing.
Operation and Control Features
  • Single-operator functionality – Complete operations by single operator through integrated controls and automation, maximizing labor efficiency while maintaining quality standards.
  • Low power consumption design – Efficient 0.18kW consumption with standard 220V single-phase supply reduces installation requirements and operating costs.
  • Comprehensive accessory package – Complete set includes straightening press, adapters, centers, supports, and prisms providing immediate operational capability across applications.

The PRK-7 is a specialized workstation designed for the final assembly stage of driveshaft manufacturing or repair. It is used specifically for the high-precision circular welding of driveshaft components (yokes, tube ends, and splined shafts) to the tube. Its primary role is to ensure perfect coaxiality and structural integrity of the weld seam before the shaft moves to the final balancing stage.

The PRK-7 is a multi-functional system that automates and stabilizes the welding process:

  • Precise Component Fitting: Initial alignment and joining of components into the tube.
  • Tacking (Spot Welding): Securing components in place prior to the full welding cycle.
  • Manual Welding Mode: Capability to perform localized repairs or non-standard seams when necessary.
  • Automatic Circular Welding: Precise rotation of the workpiece for a continuous, uniform weld bead using semi-automatic MIG/MAG technology.
  • Tube straightening: Allows you to correct the curvature of the driveshaft tube directly on the stand.

The workbench is engineered for versatility, handling everything from passenger car driveshafts to heavy-duty commercial vehicle components:

  • Maximum Length: Up to 4000 mm (standard configuration).
  • Maximum Weight: Designed to support heavy driveshafts used in trucks and specialized machinery.
  • Component Compatibility: Works with all standard driveshaft elements including weld yokes, slip yokes, and mid-shaft flanges.

To accommodate the diverse range of driveshaft geometries, the PRK-7 features:

  • Adjustable Tailstock & Supports: Quick-release locking mechanisms to change the working length in seconds.
  • Universal Centering Tooling: A set of interchangeable adapters to secure various diameters of flanges and tubes.
  • Variable Rotation Speed: Fine-tuning of the spindle speed to match the specific welding parameters required for different wall thicknesses.
  • Torch Positioning System: 3-axis adjustment of the welding torch holder for optimal entry angles.

The PRK-7 stands out due to its “industrial-grade” build quality:

  • Precision Rotary Drive: High-torque motor with a frequency converter for smooth, jitter-free rotation, which is critical for leak-proof, aesthetic weld seams.
  • Open Architecture: The system is designed for semi-automatic welding where the client can integrate a welding power source of their choice, ensuring the workbench fits into existing workshop workflows.
  • Ergonomic Controls: Intuitive interface for the operator to manage rotation, start/stop cycles, and emergency functions efficiently.
