Self-Centring 3-Jaw Pipe Chuck CORMAK WP500 for Welding Positioners

The CORMAK WP500 self-centring 3-jaw pipe chuck is a professional clamping accessory intended for use with welding positioners and welding rotators in industrial environments. With its wide clamping range and robust construction, it provides fast, secure, and precise clamping of pipes and various shaped workpieces. It is an ideal solution for workshops and production facilities that demand high reliability in welding and rotary processing operations.

Main advantages of the WP500 chuck

• Wide clamping range – securely holds workpieces with diameters ranging from 200 to 500 mm.
• High clamping force – up to 800 kg – ensures stable grip even on heavy or irregularly shaped components.
• Maximum load capacity 600 kg – suitable for large workpieces during welding or rotary machining.
• Self-centring 3-jaw mechanism – ensures perfect alignment of the workpiece with the welding positioner’s rotation axis.
• Versatile applications – capable of clamping pipes, sleeves, square and hexagonal profiles.

Design and technology

The WP500 chuck is designed for operation in demanding industrial conditions. It utilises a reinforced mechanical system of three synchronised self-centring jaws that move uniformly towards the centre axis. The jaws are made from hardened steel, resistant to wear and deformation, ensuring long service life. A through-hole diameter of ⌀235 mm allows the passage of long tubular workpieces, extending the functionality of welding positioners.

Precision and performance

The WP500 chuck enables rapid clamping while maintaining perfect concentricity. This significantly reduces setup time and improves process repeatability. Stable clamping directly enhances the quality of welds or machined surfaces, eliminating misalignment and positioning errors during work.

Applications

The WP500 chuck is designed for use with welding positioners, welding rotators, and other welding manipulators used in serial or unit production. It is particularly recommended for welding pipes, flanges, tanks, frames, and custom components requiring precise axial positioning. Ideal for heavy industry, construction, energy, and pressure vessel manufacturing.
