14×14 ft Preston Eastin Manipulator – Product Description

Available in size configurations ranging from 6×6 to 16×16!

This 14×14 ft Preston Eastin Manipulator is designed to speed up the welding process in a number of ways. A welding manipulator like this one aims to hold the welding equipment over a work piece so that the operator does not have to hold it in his or her hands while the part is moving beneath the torch. The part being welded is usually moved or rotated under the torch using a positioner or a set of tank turning rolls. By using a manipulator as a fixture to hold the equipment steady, the welding can take place over a longer time without fatigue from the operator, which can result in multiple starts and stops. With a manipulator, you only need one start and stop to complete most welds. This reduction in starts and stops minimizes the possibility of weld defects, sometimes caused by improper starting and stopping.

Another common use of a welding manipulator is using the variable-speed boom as a welding axis to complete longitudinal welds. These longitudinal welds can be completed on the outside perimeter of a tank, vessel, or pipe, or you can reach inside those same work pieces to complete the internal welds, which can prove to be much more difficult.
