3-Axis Rotary Grounds Kit: 2 Rotary Grounds and 2 target plates (400 or 800 AMP)

Eliminates the need to remove ground while positioning the part and allows infinite rotation.

Available in 400 Amp or 800 Amp
Includes Grounds & Adapter/Target Plates for Tilt Axis and Rotation Axis

4-port hydraulic/pneumatic rotary union

The 4-port hydraulic/pneumatic rotary union enables infinite rotation of the hydraulic or pneumatic fixture. This is ideal for applications where there is a need for multi-turns or single direction operation.

Absolute Rotary Encoder

Absolute encoder for rotation.

Automation ready capability

This feature is designed into all PNP controls and allows for seamless integration with automation equipment and robotics.

E-Stop

Safety shut-off button, conveniently located on each column.

Easy-to-use, large touch-screen

Our 10-inch, easy-to-use touch screen features a simple and intuitive interface that includes error messaging, warning indicators and a diagnostic display. We’ve even built it in a way that enables people wearing a glove to operate the screen.

(This feature is not included on the Integrator user application)

Ethernet bulkhead connections

The control panel is equipped with two Ethernet ports that make it possible to connect the positioner to your network. This makes it simple to upgrade to intelligent positioning software or connect to automation.

Finger-safe fuse holders with blown fuse indicators

Our PNP control panes are equipped with finger-safe fuse holders and blow-fuse indicators, which make it quick and efficient to identify a blown fuse.

Intelligent positioning capability

Our control panels are built to allow for simple integration of Insight Centerpoint™ Arc Data Monitoring Software.

One-touch auto leveling

Leveling is quick and efficient with our easy, one-touch auto-leveling feature. Simply push the button and your part will instantly be leveled for you.

Push-button hydraulic positioning

Our powerful manual push-button hydraulic positioning gives you the ability to elevate and tilt your part.

Redundant safety features, mechanical safety stops, and hydraulic load holding check valve.

Quick disconnect plugs

Our quick disconnect feature makes it easy to shut off power and work on cables, making you safer and more efficient.

Re-deployable capital

ALM Positioners gives you the power to leverage your investment with re-deployable capital by upgrading your existing positioner and reconfiguring it into a programmable or a ready-to-integrate with an automated or robotic solution. Learn more

Safety laser scanner- and light curtain-ready hookup

Installing scanners or light curtains is easy with ready to wire connections and pre-programmed visual indicators. Safe guard the area around your positioner with an area safety scanner. This protects the operator from the positioner, while in motion. Available options are Keyence (8.4 m) or SICK (9 m).

Safety scanner

Safeguard the area around your positioner with an area safety scanner. This protects the operator from the positioner, while in motion. Available options are Keyence (8.4 m) or SICK (9 m).

Single point electrical drop

Power your positioner with a single 480V 3PH electric drop.

Single point shut-off

With a single point shut-off system, switching your positioner off is efficient and simple.

Variable speed control

Our variable speed control feature gives the operator the ability to adjust the speed at which you rotate your part.

Wired pendant

Our wired operator pendant has 25-foot of reach, making it possible to operate your positioner from various locations around the part.

Wireless communication

Simplify your cable management – and reduce potential cable damage – by enabling wireless communication between your headstock and tailstock. This option includes a signal strength digital readout display and features Trusted Wireless 2.0 technology for solid and reliable signal strength.

Wireless pendant

The wireless pendant empowers your welders or assembler to operate the positioner conveniently and is integrated within the safety circuit. The operator has full control of the pendant allowing them to operate the positioner from within any safe zone. The pendant comes with an integrated E-stop circuit.
