FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT POSITIONERS
What is a welding positioner?
A welding positioner is a tool used to move, tilt or rotate the workpiece during welding. This enables the welder to reach all sides of the workpiece easily, without needing to constantly change their position. It helps to increase welding productivity while reducing the welder's workload and fatigue. Positioners from LJ Welding are designed for use in a variety of industrial applications, including pipe welding, tank fabrication and structural steel fabrication. They feature heavy-duty construction and are built with quality components for superior performance and reliability. With LJ Welding's positioners, welders can easily adjust the height, tilt angle and rotation speed of the workpiece for precise positioning and optimal results.
What are the types of welding positioners?
There are various types of welding positioners which include gear tilt positioners, pipe turning positioners, headstock & tailstock positioners, and bench top positioners. LJ Welding provides all of these types of positioners to accommodate the specific requirements of our clients. By offering gear tilt positioners, pipe turning positioners, headstock & tailstock positioners, and bench top positioners, we aim to meet various needs and ensure optimal welding efficiency.
How do positioners improve weld quality?
Positioners play a significant role in safe material handling, ultimately improving the quality of welding by facilitating optimal positioning of the workpiece. This enables the welder to maintain a consistent angle and distance from the workpiece, which ultimately results in more consistent and higher quality welds. Additionally, positioners reduce the need for manual repositioning of the workpiece, which minimizes distortion and leads to a more precise final product. Overall, the use of positioners is fundamental to achieving top-quality welds in a most efficient manner.

What is the importance of welding positioner?
Welding positioners are crucial in boosting working flexibility, productivity, and quality. They allow welders to access all sides of the workpiece with ease, providing a more comfortable and less tiring work experience. By reducing fatigue and increasing efficiency, positioners promote higher productivity, consistency, and quality of the welds. Additionally, positioners promote a safer working environment and better working ergonomics, making the overall welding process more reliable, convenient, and less prone to errors. Overall, welding positioners considerably enhance the welding process from start to finis
Does you’re welding process involve irregular workpieces? Or awkward positioning and precise results? You should consider a welding positioner.
Whether it’s pipe welding applications, or agri and plant welding and fabrication. Investing in a welding turntable or positioner will enhance efficiency. Thus improving your bottom line and working conditions.
What is a welding positioner?
Designed to handle work pieces when welding, a positioner or turntable consists of:
- table top with T-slots
- manual or motorised rotating mechanism (positioner only)
- solid steel frame
The workpiece fixes to the table top with a jig or chuck. A positioner will rotate through 360 degrees and tilt. Thus allowing the welder best positioning to focus on creating the weld. However, turntable welding will only rotate the workpiece.
Welding positioner uses.
A rotary welding positioner is utilised in pipe welding applications, as well as tube welding.
The ability to rotate and tilt the table to the best welding position is ideal for welding flanges. Plus other fixtures and fittings associated with industrial pipe and tube welding.
Large, heavy-duty positioners can handle digger buckets, structural steel and plant manufacturing components.
Types of welding positioner.
To make the best use of your welding positioner turntable, you will need to consider the type of work you are doing. The main types include:

- Benchtop welding positioner.
Also known as a tabletop welding positioner, they are used for welding of smaller components. Thus making ideal TIG welding turntables, as well as tube welding positioners.
Commonly used in precision welding work, such as exhaust manufacturing and valve work. The ideal solution to achieve consistent, circumferential welds of small components.

- Conventional welding positioner.
A manual welding positioner is still able to rotate through 360 degrees, but it’s done by hand. Usually by using a hand wheel or crank, being manually turned to rotate the table top.
This solution is ideal if you would only need to use it every now and again. Plus, if you only need horizontal plane positioning. We wouldn’t recommend a manual welding positioner in a production metal fabrication environment.

- 3 axis welding positioner.
If you’re looking for a complete handling solution for your welding needs, a 3 axis positioner is the perfect fit. Not only do they rotate and tilt like a conventional unit, they also raise and lower via a hydraulic system.
Advantage being you won’t need extra lifting equipment such as cranes and slings. Creating a more efficient and safer workplace.
Industries that benefit most from a hydraulic welding positioner include oil and gas. As well as renewables, ship building and automotive.

- Robotic welding positioner.
Designed for automatic use only, with a robotic cell or automated welding solution. A welding positioner for robotic use needs very precise construction. Allowing for little to no room for tolerances. They need to have the capability to integrate with the welding source and manipulator.
This is why we would recommend purchasing a turnkey solution from the manufacturer.
Welding positioner manufacturers.
Preferred welding positioner manufacturers include Bode, ProArc, Pema, ESAB, Macobe and Lincoln Electric. This is due to their reputation Worldwide for quality machines, built to last. As well as a good range of solutions.
Other manufacturers include Gullco, Pandjiris, Silvistrini, Red-D-Arc and Muller Opalden.
