The Universal Balance revolutionizes weldment positioning by using the part’s center of gravity, allowing operators to flip, tilt, and turn parts effortlessly by hand in just seconds — compared to the minute or more it can take with traditional motorized tilt-turn positioners. By eliminating motors and gearboxes, it offers faster setup, greater control, improved safety, and lower maintenance, all while delivering the rugged durability and refined precision that define Koike’s legacy of craftsmanship for more than 100 years.
Our Welding Universal Balance principle aligns rotational and tilt axes, allowing 360-degree rotation around both axes, even around the Positioner column. This balance grants you unhindered access to any desired location on your fixture. The Arm and Gear Box design, with a simple worm adjustment, aligns the tilt axis with the workpiece's center of gravity, ensuring perfect balance for effortless movement.
Our Universal Balance Welding Positioners offer capacities from 100 lbs. to 4,000 lbs, with optional variable-speed powered axes to semi-automate processes.
Specialized models and brakes are also available for custom applications.
