Handling Specialty Adds New Product to Assist in Your Manufacturing Needs

With the recent addition of the OSA-LATOR Indexing table to the Handling Specialty product line; including custom Head stock/Tail stock Positioners was an easy choice.

What are some of the major benefits to employing a Head stock/Tail stock Positioner? It offers a properly positioned weldment, regardless of the size, which reduces welder fatigue, increases safety, improves weld quality, and saves on production floor space. By relocating the weldment or assembly component, workers are not forced into unsafe or ergonomically uncomfortable positions.

 

Why choose a Head stock/Tail stock over a Rotator?

In a welding application, welds are presented to the operator with optimal weld positioning, torch access, torch angles and resulting in improved quality.  

A rotator will not provide the same flexibility. Vertical welds will always be vertical welds on a rotator while a HS-TS will translate vertical position welds to an optimal flat or horizontal position.

In an all applications [inspection, assembly, cleaning, etc] the part is rotated into the worker envelope, reducing ergonomic concerns, increasing productivity and up-time
