PTST25015X10RHM - Profax 15x10 Programmable Welding Manipulator Column and Boom RHM

Precision Automation for Heavy Fabrication

The Profax PTST250 15x10 Programmable System (RHM) is a robust welding manipulator designed to bring high-level automation to industrial fabrication environments. In the world of heavy manufacturing—specifically tank, pipe, and structural steel fabrication—consistency is the key to profitability. This column and boom system provides the rigid platform necessary to hold welding heads steady over long durations and extended reaches, eliminating the inconsistencies associated with manual operation.

The unit features a substantial working envelope with 15 feet of vertical lift and 10 feet of horizontal reach. This 15x10 configuration is a standard yet versatile size, capable of accommodating large diameter vessels and tall structural components. The "RHM" designation indicates a Right Hand Mount configuration, which refers to the position of the operator controls and mounting interface relative to the boom, ensuring ergonomic access and logical workflow integration depending on your shop floor layout.

At the heart of this unit is its Programmable System. Unlike basic manipulators that simply hold a torch, a programmable system integrates motion control with welding parameters. This allows operators to set precise travel speeds, weave patterns, and dwell times, ensuring that every inch of weld metal is deposited exactly according to the welding procedure specification (WPS). The rigidity of the column ensures minimal deflection even at full boom extension, which is critical for processes like Submerged Arc Welding (SAW) where tip-to-work distance must be maintained with extreme accuracy.

Integration is seamless with other automation equipment. When paired with a welding positioner or a set of turning rolls, the PTST250 becomes the centerpiece of a complete circumferential welding station. The system is engineered to withstand the harsh environment of heavy industrial welding, featuring protected guideways and heavy-duty gearboxes that ensure smooth, vibration-free travel. Whether you are retrofitting an existing cell or building a new automated line, this manipulator offers the reliability and precision required for code-quality work.
