A Safe, Practical & Cost Effective Steel Rotator Solution

RA Series RIMCO Rotator is our most flexible machine. It is perfect for a range of steel sizes and is easily adapted to robotic cells. Due to it&#;s flexibility it can be easily moved around your workshop floor. This machine is strong enough to handle beams up to 48 inches and 12,000 pounds, which is ideal for small to medium sized fabrication shops and can safely hold and turn a variety of material steel sections.

OLIVET supply professional and honest service.

RB Series RIMCO Rotator is practical and proven as it is designed to provide exceptional levels of access with safety as it&#;s paramount feature. The smooth hydraulic lifting are one of the many advantages with railed wheels for accurate alignment and mobility. There are also a suite of clamping options available in 6 different sizes and 2 weight ranges.

RC Series RIMCO Rotator is a fully automated range that can be combined with robotic cells with additional optimisations available. It is typically used for larger and wider steel beams and can handle up to 80 inches web and 24 inches flange. Great projects call for great machines to get the job done safely, efficiently all while increasing your operations productivity. Our customers have valued their return on investment and praised the RC Rotators ability for repetitive component manufacturing, excellent work holding ability and a high level of accuracy.

The Ocean Flipper Beam Rotator and Positioner can typically be found in small to medium-sized fabricating shops that use single spindle drill lines or any fitting / welding operation where profiles need to be rotated for welding attachments. The Flipper can also be used with any saw line, shot blast line or painting operation where beams need turning prior to the next stage.

When used in conjunction with the Ocean Avenger CNC Drill Line, the Avenger Hydraulic power supply can be used, saving the customer the cost of purchasing the optional hydraulic power unit. For the Ocean Avenger PLUS CNC Multifunction Machine, a hydraulic power supply will be required.

The Ocean Flipper set comprises a pair of Flippers, and services half of a 60&#; Avenger table. Where fabricators are particularly busy, it might make more sense for the user to purchase two Ocean Flipper sets (4 rotating arms).

Here are some of the more commonly asked questions

What does the Ocean Flipper Beam Rotator do?

With the Ocean Flipper, the drill machine operator can rotate large and heavy beams and columns, and position them up to the datum blocks in order to drill the different sides (top flange, bottom flange and web) without the need for an overhead crane or other lifting device and without any additional labor to assist with manual flipping and positioning.

What is included with the Ocean Flipper?

The Ocean Flipper beam turning device is a heavy duty system comprising a pair of Flipper units, an operating console that wirelessly controls the Flipper master unit, the connecting drive shaft, all hoses and connectors, and an optional hydraulic power unit (if required).

If the Flipper is used in conjunction with the Ocean Avenger, the Avenger hydraulic power supply can be used, saving the customer the cost of purchasing the optional hydraulic power unit. For the Ocean Avenger PLUS CNC Multifunction Machine, a hydraulic power supply will be required.

Who installs the Flipper?

The Flipper is simple to install and most customers install the machine themselves. Ocean Machinery does offer an optional installation service at competitive rates.

How many Flippers do I need?

One Ocean Flipper set, comprising a pair of rotating arms, services half of a 60? Avenger table. Where fabricators are particularly busy, two Ocean Flippers (4 rotating arms) might make the most sense.

When used in welding stations, one set of Flippers can service two welders

What is the maximum beam or column that the Flipper can rotate and position?

The Flipper is designed specifically to aid flipping and positioning of large beams and columns, including jumbo columns. The maximum capacity of one Flipper device, comprising a pair of Flipper arms, is 36&#; (914mm). The maximum beam or column weight is 26,000 lbs (11,800 kg). Note that the maximum capacity is measured with the beam at the fulcrum. The capacity is reduced when trying to flip beams that are set away from the fulcrum.

What do I need to have in order to install and run the Ocean Flipper?

The Ocean Flipper is designed to be a simple Plug and Play installation, done by the fabricator himself. It is supplied with the pair of arms, operating console stand, and connecting drive shaft, as well as hoses and fittings for connection to your Ocean Avenger hydraulic power unit.

If you are using this with a machine other than an Ocean Avenger you will need to purchase the optional auxiliary hydraulic power unit, which comes complete with hoses and connectors.

When doing the installation you will need to supply masonry anchors and assorted wrenches. You will also need hydraulic fluid if you are purchasing the optional hydraulic power pack.

Non Standard Length Drive Shaft

The Standard machine is supplied with a standard length drive shaft connecting the pair of Flippers spaced approximately 10ft apart. This makes it suitable for installation within the Ocean Avenger tables. If a nonstandard length drive shaft is required for a specific installation, this needs to be specified at the time of order.

Hydraulic Power Pack

When installing a pair of Flippers with the Ocean Avenger CNC Drill Line the Avenger hydraulic power supply will drive the flippers and no additional power pack is required.

When installing with the Avenger PLUS Multifunction Machine, then the optional power pack is required.

If you are planning to run multiple pairs of Flippers from one power supply then we can spec and manufacture a power supply to suit. We have a bridge manufacturer that drives three pairs of Flippers from one power supply.

If you want to locate your hydraulic power supply away from the Flippers you will need additional length hoses. These can be fabricated as needed.
