Part Positioning Requirements
*
Required for product recommendations.
Part & Load
What are the approximate part dimensions (L × W × H)?
*
The maximum length and width of the parts you need to position.
in
feet
mm
cm
Will the part length vary between jobs?
*
Indicate whether the lengths of your parts change between jobs.
Yes
No
What's the expected length range? (if length varies)
Provide the minimum and maximum part length if lengths vary between jobs.
in
feet
mm
cm
What is the approximate weight of the heaviest part?
*
The maximum weight of the part or parts you need to position.
lbs
kg
Tooling & Fixture
What's the status of your tooling/fixture?
Let us know where you are in the tooling design process.
Designed — one-piece fixture
Designed — independent/multi-piece
Concept phase
Haven't started yet
Not sure
Approximate fixture/tooling weight?
The maximum weight of the fixtures, clamps, chucks, or tooling mounted to the positioner — separate from the workpiece. Include the unit of measurement. If unknown, you can skip this.
lbs
kg
Or select estimate range:
Select estimate range...
<250 lb
250–1,000 lb
1,000–5,000 lb
5,000+ lb
Do you know the center of gravity of the part and tooling?
Indicate whether you know the center of gravity of your part and tooling combined. If unknown, we'll use a standard estimate of 3.33 inches.
Yes
No
Distance from the faceplate? (if CoG is known)
The maximum 2D distance from the center of gravity to the center of the rotational axis.
in
mm
cm
feet
Capabilities & Environment
Do you need the positioner to raise/lower the part (elevation)?
*
Specify if you require the positioner to raise or lower the part during work.
Yes
No
Maybe
Do you need to spin the part along its length (third axis rotation)?
*
Specify if you require rotational positioning — also known as 3rd axis rotation — which spins the part along its length axis.
Yes
No
Maybe
Powered or manual tooling?
Let us know if you need powered motorized tooling.
Powered
Manual
Not sure
Should the positioner be mobile?
*
Indicate whether you will require the positioner to be mobile throughout your facility.
Yes
No
Any movement constraints? (if mobile - e.g., aisles, floor, tow vs self-propelled)
Describe any physical limitations for moving the positioner.
Do you need programmable control?
*
Choose 'Yes' if you want automated or repeatable movements.
Yes
No
Maybe later
