With multi-axis weld positioners, a company can expand on the possibilities of welding automation by giving manufacturers the advantage of maximizing throughput and improving quality. In addition to saving on floor space, they provide potential for managed high load capacities in a well-engineered system. Manufacturing costs of a weld positioning system tend to be lower than a standard configuration rotary table.
In a properly balanced system, weld positioners can allow for drives and frames to be sized down when compared to standard configuration counterparts. Trunnion drives offer significantly higher accessibility for maintenance purposes, giving owners and operators the opportunity to perform easier maintenance checks and potentially extend the life of the indexer.
