Welding positioners are designed to manipulate a non-cylindrical work-piece so as to present the weld instantly in the down-hand position to the operator or welding head. The work-piece itself is mounted on the positioner table which can then be both rotated and tilted to manipulate the work-piece into the required position.
The use of a welding positioner enables the operator to manipulate their own work-piece un-assisted, provides accurate and consistent rotation speeds for high-quality welds and optimum deposition rates, saves time wasted by cranes, reduces accident hazards, speeds up work, and increases output through greater efficiency leading to a reduction in welding costs.
