OverviewTHZ is a 2-axis robotic positioner (1 horizontal + 1 vertical axis) designed for synchronized robot and workpiece movement in complex welding operations. Available in multiple sizes to handle workpieces from 1,000 kg up to 40,000 kg.
Key properties- Infinite rotational capability on the rotary axis
- High-precision positioning for multi-axis welding
ApplicationDesigned for welding cells where synchronous movement between robot and positioner is required, enabling coordinated motion paths for complex geometries and multi-pass welding processes.
