The Skyhook 2-Axis positioner improves automation efficiency by combining tilt and rotation into coordinated motion that keeps complex welds in better positions.
The robotic positioner adds two controlled movements:
- A rotary axis for part rotation
- A swing axis that tilts the workpiece for better welding approach
This combines the rotary flexibility of Kinetic’s rotary turntable with the tilt capability of a headstock-tailstock setup. Together, these movements give the robot better control over part presentation. This is especially useful for weld paths that change direction or cross multiple faces.
“It effectively turns a six-axis robot into an eight-axis robot.” - Mark Barglof, owner of Kinetic Technologies
