Modular Headstock-
Tailstock Positioners
Engineered to boost your welding throughput.
Your parts aren’t flat and static, so why is your welding table?
Robotic welding positioners boost fabrication speed and increase production
rates while reducing setup time, scrap rate, and ensuring consistency.
Get More Welding Flexibility
Process parts previously out
of scope or out of the robot’s reach.
Increase Arc-On Time
Dramatically increase your
uptime by loading and welding
parts simultaneously.
Speed Up Your Weld Clycles
Simplify the setups for your
most complex parts.
Maximize your Space
Experience hassle-free
setups with our compact and
easy-to-install positioners.
Kinetic Technologies’ Headstock-Tailstock Positioners put you back in the driver’s seat and increase your robotic welding productivity. Developed specifically for robotic welders, Kinetic Technologies’ Headstock-Tailstock Positioners allow you to weld large and complex parts and increase arc-on time.
Getting the correct part orientation with manual methods is time consuming. Setup complexity multiplies with the size and shape of the part. Manual setup and repositioning for a robotic welder considerably impacts your welding cycle time and productivity. Kinetic Technologies’ HT Positioners solve that for you!
What you don’t need is complicated integrations, long lead times and light-weight solutions. Kinetic Technologies provides robust, modular products that fit your system needs. We take the complexity out of integration so your team can get back to work.
A Modular Headstock-Tailstock Positioner Family to Match Your Needs
HT1 Headstock-Tailstock Positioner
Configured for a welding robot with 51” of reach, this durable 48” x 60” positioner boosts fabrication speed while maintaining a small footprint. Dynamically position parts while welding and with accuracy of 0.005”. Use as a single unit or combine with other positioners.
HT2 Headstock-Tailstock Positioner
Designed for a larger welding robot with 69” of reach, the HT2 provides the same capabilities as the HT1 in a larger size. This 48” x 120” positioner can be used alone or combined with other headstock-tailstock and radial positioners.
