What are ANNEX Positioners?

Adaptable to a wide range of processes including welding, laser, material handling, grinding, and cutting, the ANNEX® robotic positioners provide operators with an unparalleled user-friendly experience for their positioning needs. Part positioners rotate a manufactured part whereas robot positioners move a robot along a track in a production line. ANNEX positioners expand the work envelope of the robot and allow for more intricate manufacturing that was previously only achievable with manual processes. They come in various pre-engineered models as well as customizable models catered to your needs.

ANNEX Part Positioners

Manufacturing lines often need to manipulate large part structures to optimize part access. Positioners can lift, rotate, or translate a part with speed and precision.

ANNEX Robot Positioners

Robot positioners can offer robots an extended axis for additional linear travel along a production line. They also can orient the robot to optimize the part relation.
