The RS container turning devices are used for turning workpieces, mainly for welding. A set of turning rolls consists of one drive and one idler unit; the load capacity is calculated for this setup. The roller distance to accommodate various diameters is set manually.

Standard rollers are equipped with rubber, Polyurethane or Vulkollan wheels; optional wheel surface steel is available on request. Standard turning speed is adjustable from 0 mm/min up to 1500 mm/min. All models can be equipped with manual or motorised bogies (option). Machines can be equipped with various controls, i.e. foot switch, hand pendant or control within the welder shield.
