The purpose of a welding positioner is to position the weld in the optimal spot for welding. Various welding positioners are available from MISA to suit any application. Depending on the size, welding positioners can lift light to heavy loads, such as: pipes, valves, rotors, turbine discs, military tanks, and railcars.
In addition to providing a standard line of welding positioners, we also design and manufacture equipment to meet unique requirements. Among the most widely used welding positioners, tilt-rotate positioners are used in multiple applications and segments of the welding industry. The weldment can be tilted and rotated simultaneously, allowing the operator to place the weldment into the most optimal hand welding position. You can adjust the centerline manually or with a power elevating system. MISA tilt-rotate positioners give operators increased productivity, enhanced welding quality, and enhanced operator safety for payloads up to 200,000 pounds due to their simplicity of operation.
Welding positioners are essential in improving welding efficiency by positioning the weldment at the ideal angle for the welder. This allows for easier and faster welding, especially for complex workpieces. By incorporating MISA welding positioners into your production line, you ensure better quality welds, faster production times, and improved safety for the operator.
In order to mechanically position the welding arc, MISA’s Column and Boom Welding Manipulators are specifically designed and manufactured. A variety of industry applications are supported by MISA’s extensive experience integrating column and boom systems with welding processes, including pipe fabrication and tank and vessel fabrication. In addition to improving welding quality, increasing productivity, and improving operator ergonomics and safety, our custom booms and column systems can be integrated with welding, tracking, vision, and control systems.
With MISA welding manipulators, the welding arc is mechanically positioned with precision and rigidity. With years of experience in integrating weld manipulator systems with different welding processes, including pipe and tank fabrication, as well as tanker car manufacture, we have a comprehensive understanding. As well as welding manipulation systems, we offer custom and calibrated tracking, vision, control, and welding systems. Our weld manipulators significantly increase welding quality, work efficiency, and operator safety.
By choosing MISA’s column and boom systems, you gain access to tailored solutions that meet the unique needs of your welding operations. These systems are designed to improve both the speed and precision of the welding process, leading to better quality results and higher productivity. The addition of tracking, vision, and control systems further enhances their capability, providing a more versatile and automated welding solution for industries like pipe and tank fabrication.
As an engineer and manufacturer, MISA focuses on weld boom stiffness and welding head stability, operator controls, and ease of use when designing and manufacturing column and boom manipulators. Automatic welding heads (usually submerged arc) are mounted on heavy-duty booms that are nearly vibration-free and can be moved vertically. Using this process, large vessels or other workpieces can be automated welded as needed.
Both welding positioners and column and boom manipulators from MISA are designed to help your business achieve higher efficiency, better safety standards, and superior welding quality, making them an indispensable part of modern manufacturing operations.
