Positioners / Ferris Wheel Positioners
  • Most space-efficient, two-station positioner design for parts 2-6 meters long, with standard sizes at 2.0, 3.0, 3.5, and 4.5 meters wide

  • Two design configurations:

    • Standard and long arm tooling options now available on all ferris wheel positioners

    • Large capacity model with locking pins on each side to stabilize parts in
      front of robot while heavy parts are hoisted on load station

  • Ergonomic load height and angle of fixture can be varied to ease part loading

  • MotoMount fixture mounting system for quick change and longer life

  • Z-beam center support provides maximum clearance for fixture turning and
    overhead clearance on operator side for hoist access

  • Three servo-motor control

    • All axes can turn simultaneously while indexing

    • Operator can jog station axis while robot welds

  • Integrated high amperage (800/1600 A) weld ground brushes

  • Hollow tailstocks and optional slip-rings with DeviceNet or Ethernet cabling and air for automated fixturing
