The range of models and capacities of headstock and tailstock positioners is very wide and can vary from a few hundred kilos to tens of tonnes. The positioners are used in the railway, automotive, energy and aviation industries.
The major advantage of using positioners is that they allow you to work faster and more efficiently, as they make it easier to access the weld and allow the welder to work in the most comfortable working position.
Having been designed in accordance with European safety standards and tested for overload in the final stages of production, the positioners are equipped with warning lights and sound alarms.
Available in different version
The positioners are available in 5 different designs:- One idle column, one driven column;
- Two driven columns (welding of long steel structures);
- Two fixed columns;
- One fixed column, one movable column (welding of different product lengths);
- Design with a support ring.
Also available in versions that feature rotation only or lift only.
