Weld Positioners

Beneficial Features of Welding Positioner

What makes Woodward Fab’s weld positioning devices popular in most industries is the number of beneficial features that they offer. The following are some most striking features of these heavy duty welding positioner:

1. Increased Productivity: As said, with this device, the worker movement for carrying out the welding process is reduced significantly. Thus, there is no fatigue caused while using this weld positioners device. This helps increase the overall productivity.
2. High-quality Weld: When you use these benchtop weld positioners, the overhead or vertical runs are eliminated. This helps achieve high-quality welds with a great consistency.
3. Easy Positioning: Odd shaped or intricate shape jobs can be positioned easily by the weld positioners to carry out downhand welding.
4. Amazing Flexibility: You get maximum amount of flexibility as far as job handling is concerned.
5. Reduced Labor Cost: By using the welding positioner, it helps in increasing the production, even with reduced labor. This way, it helps in single-handed job manipulation and welding, which in turn helps cut down on the labor cost.
6. Reduced Defects & Enhanced Quality: As this device is easy to operate, even an unskilled labor can operate it efficiently. This helps improve the weld quality, while reducing the chances of weld defects and rejection.
7. Great Adaptability:These weld positioning devices are extremely adaptable to both manual, as well as automatic welding.
8. Available in Different Capacities: The weld positioning devices are available in different capacities, such as 500 pounds, 800 pounds, and 1200 pounds.

How does a welding positioner work?

A welding positioner is equipped with a circular rigid frame that holds the workpiece tightly and rotates it as per the requirement. In addition, some welding positioner are equipped with large motors for rotating heavy workpieces. After starting the rotation, the operator can continue with the welding process without moving from his position. We offer both automatic welding positioner as well as manual welding positioners for your consideration. Therefore, when it comes to the working of a welding positioner, automatic welding positioners work at faster speeds compared to manual welding positioner.
