Often the surface area or product that needs to be welded is large, cumbersome or challenging to navigate around. In these cases, it would help to have an extra set of arms. Thankfully, the welding world has something even better to offer: a rotary welding positioner.
Rotary welding positioners are tools which give welders optimal access. They do this by providing a secure grip on the material as well as rotational capabilities so that the welder can perform the weld to a joint without break.
The use of rotary welding positioners also offers added safety to the welding process. Much of the larger equipment that needs to be welded was not designed to be held or rotated, making the task nearly impossible to do, let alone do safely. Prior to the development of rotary welding positioners, weldment was held in place with chains, cranes, ladders and forklifts. This meant that the welders would have to be put in unique, unsafe positions to complete the job.
Rotary welding positioners allow the equipment to be held securely and properly in a space where the welder is in control of his or her position and actions. This allows the welding to be done with confidence and skill, decreasing the chances of injury or accident. It also allows beginning welders to offer a higher degree of protection (even though they may lack the experience of a veteran welder) because the rotary welding positioner provides such stability.

A welding positioner is a mechanical piece of equipment that holds and rotates a workpiece to allow a welder to work at a proper angle and on a consistent surface. It has the ability to rotate a fast speed, even when bearing significate weight. The main purpose of a welding positioner is to ensure the workpiece is ALWAYS in the most suitable welding position.
Positioners improve productivity because they remove wasted time in multiple aspects. First of all, welding positioners ensure maximum arc time. Cranes, chains, grippers and other types of rigging equipment take a lot of effort to move and oftentimes, welders are left waiting around for the workpiece to be positioned correctly—this may have to happen multiple times for one weldment.
The use of positioners also allows the welder to manipulate the part quickly! When it comes to large parts, positioners allow one operator to handle the job, removing multiple people to reposition the part. This shows up in labor savings and frees up employees to perform other work.
A major advantage of using the right welding positioner is that it yields consistent, high-quality welds. Any movement of the part during the welding process makes it difficult to produce quality welds. When your material is secured, it allows for adequate weld penetration and it also makes it easier to run complete welds without the interruption of repositioning. A welding positioner solves many problems when it comes to weld quality as it rotates the workpiece at a controlled rate and speed to maintain a continuous, penetrative weld.
With the current welding workforce being slim, retaining and attracting skilled welders is a huge benefit to any manufacturer. Positioners allow welders to work faster, longer and with more ease. This equipment improves the working environment—making it much more attractive to a skilled workforce. Welding positioners also:
