Overview

The Bota 3-Axis Skyhook Series is engineered to overcome the limitations of standard positioners. By adding a critical third axis—Hydraulic Elevation—this system allows operators to raise the entire workpiece to the optimum height. This unique capability solves the common problem of rotating long or awkward parts (such as trailer frames and excavators) that would otherwise hit the floor. It ensures 360° access to every weld seam in the ergonomic downhand position, maximizing both safety and productivity.

Features

  • The integrated heavy duty hydraulic cylinders provide smooth vertical lifting capability combined with precise rotation and tilting functions.
  • Our unique design allows operators to lift the entire workpiece to ensure maximum ground clearance for rotating long parts without hitting the floor.
  • Welders can easily adjust the workpiece to an ergonomic working height to significantly reduce back fatigue and improve daily productivity.
  • The hydraulic system is equipped with advanced anti-fall safety valves that lock the arm in place to prevent accidental drops even during power loss.

MAXIMIZED WORK ENVELOPE

Unlimited Clearance for Large Workpieces

Standard equipment often restricts the rotation of tall or irregular parts due to limited ground clearance. Bota 3-axis hydraulic skyhook positioners overcome this limitation with integrated hydraulic height adjustment, effectively maximizing the vertical swing radius. This L-type design capability allows for full 360-degree heavy workpiece rotation without floor interference, eliminating the downtime associated with re-clamping and ensuring seamless welding automation for oversized structures.

OPTIMIZED WELDING ERGONOMICS

Perfect Positioning for Complex Geometries

By synchronizing lifting, tilting, and rotating axes, this multi-axis positioning system offers superior access compared to standard dual-axis units. Operators can elevate the workpiece to the optimal height, ensuring even deep seams on complex geometries are accessible in the ideal downhand welding position. This precision supports welding ergonomics, significantly reducing welder fatigue while guaranteeing uniform penetration and superior weld quality across the entire assembly.
