What are the benefits of a welding positioner?

  • Allow for handling of the workpiece in all positions – leaving the welder to focus on the job.
  • Increased, repeatable weld quality.
  • More productive and efficient working environment due to the welder not having to navigate the workpiece.
  • Safer working conditions due to increased concentration from the welder and proper equipment designed for handling heavy material. Eliminates the requirement to “botch” a stand or holding device from standard, workshop tools.
  • Can be used for both manual and mechanised applications.
  • Suitable for use with all welding processes (TIG, MIG, SAW etc.).
