There’s nothing like runoff day on the manufacturing floor!

The team from FineARC Systems came back to our facility to see the 9500 lb. Skyhook Positioner receive its finishing touches. They watched the positioner in operation and had the chance to ask our experts questions before it’s delivered to the final destination.

We can’t wait to see this positioner help make the customer’s manufacturing process better, faster and safer.

When a COBOT is attached to an ALM Positioner, the operator and robot can weld simultaneously.

The positioner safely rotates and adjusts the weldment, allowing the COBOT to produce repeatable welds while the skilled welder works alongside it.

The result: faster throughput, better efficiency and a stronger manufacturing team.

Positioners help fabricators keep production moving without sacrificing quality. For large-scale infrastructure projects, that matters.

- Components are big.
- Timelines are tight.
- Production conditions are demanding.

By safely rotating weldments into a better working position, ALM Positioners improves access, reduces repositioning time and supports more consistent welds across repeatable assemblies.

We don’t just build positioners for our customers. We use them on our own floor.

This perspective helps us understand what manufacturers are really up against: heavy parts, awkward weld angles, constant repositioning and pressure to increase output without adding strain to the team.

Better positioning and automation can change the entire workflow. The results below show how productivity can improve from a manual setup to a workflow using a positioner and collaborative robot (COBOT).

Preventative maintenance is easy to push off.

Production is moving. The equipment is running. The floor is busy. And when uptime matters, scheduling service can feel like calling to make that dreaded dentist appointment.

But routine maintenance is what helps protect uptime in the first place:
- Service techs can catch small issues before they become costly downtime
- Routine inspections help protect safety, performance and long-term ROI
- Expert support can help identify obsolete parts, efficiency opportunities and potential risks before they impact production

There’s no better way to understand what ALM Positioners can do than seeing them in action.

We recently welcomed the team from Donaldson Company to our manufacturing floor for a live look at how our positioners are built, how they support real welding applications and how COBOTs can work alongside skilled welders.

We’ve always been built for a challenge.

Before ALM Positioners ever built a positioner, we were manufacturing automotive and heavy vehicle lifts. Then came a call from Caterpillar.

What started as a request for a custom lifting solution turned
into something more. Through close collaboration with the CAT team, we developed a design that improved production efficiency and created a safer, more ergonomic work environment.

That moment helped shape the direction of our business.

Today, ALM Positioners supports Caterpillar facilities around the world, with more than 100 positioners in operation across 12 locations

Not every job requires the same setup. That’s why the ALM Precision Line gives you options.

The fixed positioner is built for speed and stability. It keeps parts locked in and rotating fast, making it a great fit when you need consistent positioning and quick cycle times.

The elevating positioner adds another level of flexibility. It gives you lift, so you can adjust height and access larger or more complex parts without changing your setup.
