OVERVIEW

Precision Torch Positioning for Professional Fabricators

Take the fatigue out of long welds and achieve machine-perfect consistency with the TST250 5 X 5 Standard Welding Manipulator. Designed for fabricators who demand precision, this column and boom system acts as a "third hand" that never tires, holding your welding torch exactly where it needs to be for the duration of the weld. The "5x5" designation refers to its generous working envelope: 5 feet of powered vertical lift and 5 feet of horizontal boom extension, giving you ample range to cover large workpieces like pressure vessels, structural beams, and large diameter piping.

Key Benefits for the Welder:

  • Stability: Eliminates hand tremors and operator fatigue, resulting in smoother, more uniform welds.
  • Versatility: Compatible with almost any welding process, including GMAW (MIG), GTAW (TIG), and SAW (Sub Arc).
  • Reach: Easily access joints that are difficult to reach manually or require working at height.
  • Control: Smooth, variable speed controls allow for fine-tuning of the torch position during setup and operation.

The TST250 is engineered with precision linear ways and a rigid mast to prevent boom sag, even when fully extended. The 250 lb payload capacity means you can mount not just a torch, but also cross-slides, cameras, or wire drive units directly to the boom end. By pairing this manipulator with a welding positioner or turning roll set, you can create a fully automated welding station that drastically reduces rework and increases throughput. Invest in the TST250 System to professionalize your workflow and deliver superior results on every project.

FAQ

The TST250 offers 5 feet of vertical lift and 5 feet of horizontal boom extension.

The boom is rated to support approximately 250 lbs at the end, suitable for heavy welding heads and accessories.

No, the TST250 is a manipulator system only. The welding power source, feeder, and torch must be purchased separately.

Yes, the column features 360-degree manual rotation with a locking mechanism to secure it in place.

The system is typically mounted on a heavy-duty base which can be moved with a forklift, but it is designed to be stationary during operation.

It is compatible with MIG, TIG, Flux-Cored, and Submerged Arc welding processes, provided the torch can be mounted to the boom.

Yes, it typically includes a remote pendant for controlling the boom's lift and retraction functions.

It mechanizes the torch position, ensuring consistent standoff distance and travel speed, which improves weld quality and reduces operator fatigue.
