Practical welding requires that materials are held together firmly, necessitating a multi-axis positioner. A multi-axis positioner enables an organization to produce consistent quality work while saving on company space. But what factors should one consider in purchasing a multi-axis positioner?
The following are factors a company should consider while purchasing a multi-axis positioner;
- Cost
Cost is always an influencing factor in purchasing almost anything, and it is no different when it comes to the purchase of a multi-axis positioner. What is your budget? You should consider your financial capability before deciding on which positioner to buy. For instance, if a new positioner’s cost is too high, you could always opt for a refurbished one within your price range. Buying a positioner that you can comfortably afford ensures that you do not strain other company operations.
- Maintenance
Ensure that you consider the ease of maintaining the multi-axis positioner, and considering your working environment is the first step. There are multi-axis positioners that are easily affected by dust and temperatures, making the positioner not lubricate efficiently. Therefore you need to arm yourself with special grease and install special seals to maintain your positioner.
Also, ensure that the spare parts and repair experts are available and easily accessible to provide a timely repair of the positioner if it is damaged.
- The Source
Who is the source of the multi-axis positioner? Can the manufacturer of the positioner be trusted? Is the manufacturing company reputable? A reputable manufacturing company translates to a quality positioner. You do not want to invest in a low-quality positioner. Therefore you should ask for recommendations or seek testimonials of a good manufacturing company before making a purchase.
Improve your weld products’ quality by purchasing a quality multi-axis positioner for your organization by considering the cost, source, and maintenance of your multi-axis positioner.
