The Profax PTST250 5x5 Programmable Welding Manipulator System is a robust automation solution designed to enhance the precision and efficiency of industrial welding operations. Engineered for durability and performance, this column and boom system provides a stable platform for welding torches, allowing for consistent travel speeds and precise positioning that manual welding cannot match. The unit features a 5-foot vertical lift and a 5-foot horizontal boom reach, making it an ideal size for small to medium-sized fabrication shops handling pipe, tanks, and structural components.
At the core of this system is its programmable control capability, designated by the "PROG SYS" nomenclature. This advanced feature allows operators to set specific weld parameters, travel speeds, and sequences, ensuring repeatability across multiple parts. The inclusion of the Remote Hand Module (RHM) provides operators with the flexibility to adjust settings and control the manipulator from a safe and convenient distance, improving both safety and workflow ergonomics. The system is designed to integrate seamlessly with various power sources and welding processes, including MIG (GMAW), TIG (GTAW), and Submerged Arc (SAW).
Constructed with heavy-gauge steel, the mast and boom are built to resist vibration and deflection, ensuring the torch remains steady even at full extension. This rigidity is critical for maintaining arc length and weld puddle control, directly contributing to higher quality X-ray quality welds. The PTST250 model is often paired with welding positioners or turning rolls to create a complete welding station, allowing for fully automated circumferential welding of pipes and vessels. Whether used for longitudinal seam welding or complex multi-pass applications, this manipulator system delivers the reliability required for high-production environments.
Installation of the PTST250 is straightforward, with a sturdy base that can be anchored to the shop floor for maximum stability. The linear rails and drive mechanisms are protected to withstand the harsh environment of a welding shop, resisting dust and spatter accumulation. By investing in the Profax 5x5 Programmable System, fabricators can expect a significant return on investment through reduced scrap rates, lower consumable waste, and increased daily throughput.
