SIEC Robotics is part of ALM Positioners, a U.S. manufacturer of heavy-duty welding positioners. One of its models is the Fixed Headstock & Tailstock, Elevating Positioner, with a capacity from 4,000 up to 150,000 lb (1.8 to 68 t): two columns bolted to the floor that hold the part between them, rotate it and raise or lower it, so every weld is at the right height and in the right position.
Now we are taking it one step further: integrating that positioner with an industrial robot into a complete robotic cell, where robot and positioner work as one system. It is a capability we are opening now, with ALM engineering and integration by SIEC in Saltillo.
If you have a requirement, contact us. For projects that meet our scope and feasibility criteria, we simulate your process in Visual Components so you can see the cell, the robot reach, the part positions and the cycle before you commit. Just the positioner? We sell it. The positioner plus the robotic cell? We do that too.
ALM engineering + Visual Components simulation
The positioner comes from ALM's proven line. For qualifying projects, the cell is designed and validated in Visual Components before we build it.
