Manipulators and positioners

for ergonomic, fast and precise welding

learn more

FÖRSTER manipulators position small or large, light or heavy workpieces with multiple axes and continuously.

Demanding assemblies with different welding positions can be processed in one clamping position and in an ergonomic working position.

Component-specific payloads and equipment features as well as optional versions of the table surfaces we adapt to customer-specific requirements.

ERGOFIX

Height-adjustable welding and assembly table with swivel and tilt function.

With our own development, the Ergofix Manipulator, work steps are greatly facilitated. The manipulator is a height-adjustable table with hydraulic lift from 690 mm to 990 mm, it can be tilted manually up to 45° and rotated 360° in any position.

This means: working in an ergonomically favorable position and the best possible seam position for very good welding results.

  • Table surface height of 690 mm – 990 mm
  • Rotating 360° endlessly (locking with clamping lever)
  • Tilt angle from 0° to 45° continuously (locking with clamping lever)
  • Tilting function also electro-hydraulic
  • Payload up to 150 kg
  • Table surface can be covered with rails in Al/Cu alloy / grey cast iron / X-PRO profile / double groove profile

Workpiece positioning in 3 dimensions

For light or heavy components with many different welding positions, manipulators are the solution for quality and high-quality weld seams in an ergonomic position.

The continuous workpiece positioning is carried out via three independently controllable axes.

A handy remote control allows the control of all movements and a foot pedal can be used to control the component rotation.

FÖRSTER manipulators and positioners are available in a variety of designs and ensure synchronous operation even with asymmetrical clamping.

Advantages of workpiece positioning tables
  • Increase in quality
  • Increase in occupational safety
  • Improvement of work ergonomics
  • Increase productivity through an optimal working position
  • Table surface height of 644 mm – 2552 mm
  • Turn 360- endless
  • Tilt angle of up to 155° continuously
  • Payload up to 20 t
  • Table surface can be covered with rails in Al/Cu alloy / grey cast iron / X-PRO profile / double groove profile

robotic welding

Workpiece positioning in 3 dimensions

Manipulators and positioners in connection with robot systems are integrated directly or indirectly into the robot control system as further axes of movement.

This enables a synchronized movement with the robot, which forms the basis for perfect machining quality.

To select the appropriate manipulator, the weight of the component and the position of the component’s center of gravity are decisive. In addition to these two criteria, we incorporate further customer-specific requirements into the design so that we can offer you the ideal manipulator.

We manufacture the right positioner for your application:

One-axis positioner
Single-axis positioner with counter bearing
Two-axis positioner
Multi-axis positioner
