Selecting positioners for your robotic welding system

Robotic welding systems increase the level of automation of your process, facilitate a labor solution to increase efficiency and provide quality welds at competitive lead times. Robotic welding systems account for hidden variables in the cost of making a weld, such as the fillet weld size, weld volume or arc time, deposition rates, and gas flow while eliminating operator factors and spatter clean up. Consider a robotic welding system if […]

Positioning equipment at each level of welding automation

Welding automation equipment is an ideal solution for increased demands of output. Although operators still play an important role in these systems, adding a level of automation to a welding process can greatly improve welding quality, turnaround times, and safety while reducing manufacturing inconsistencies. However, the decision to automate is serious and depends on your application. As such, clearly understanding what each level of welding automation offers will enable you […]

When NASA needed a positioner to transport the Parker Solar Probe to Goddard, they trusted PrestonEastin.

We are proud to be a part of the team that worked on this project. It gives us great pride to know that before the Parker Solar Probe travels millions of miles to study the corona of the sun and the origins of solar winds, it first rested on a PrestonEastin positioner.

Preston Eastin Robotic Skyhook

Check out this Preston Eastin Robotic Skyhook.  It has a 4,400 lb. capacity and an extended arm capable of holding a part of up to 120″ in diameter.   It also has a range of motion of 180 degrees on the tilt axis and 360 degrees on the rotate axis. Give us a call if we can customize a piece of equipment for your company!
