Positioner offers total access to weldments, assemblies

ALM Positioners offers the MHL1P, a 3-axis, single-column, 6,000-lb.-capacity positioner that requires no special foundation. Suitable for situations in which total product access is needed, it features 68.5-in. vertical travel in 40 sec.; a 4-HP, column-mount hydraulic unit with pendant-controlled XYZ axis; solenoid-operated safety pawl in the column; 15-HP secondary for variable-speed rotation; 180-degree rotation on axis 1 (360 degrees optional); 360-degree rotation on axis 2; optional wireless foot control; and optional programmable operation.

The positioner eliminates belts, chain transfer, and screw systems and allows the operator to raise and position weldments or assemblies to the correct working position. It can be custom-designed to meet specific requirements.

According to the company, the positioner provides improved weld quality; simplified tool access; consistent, repeatable assembly procedures; high productivity and throughput; reduced consumable use; and proper ergonomics.
