Engineering Consultation

With nearly 40 years of experience, we can meet with your project team on-site at your facility (engineering, quality control, safety, production, and operators) to clearly define the application and the expected productive output of the project.

Installation Services

Positech can supply supervised installation (turnkey or partnership) with local contracted installation personnel or your internal maintenance personnel to assure a safe, efficient installation.

Integration Services

Positech can source and supply entire work cell solutions that may include lift assists, lift tables, conveyors, overhead rails, carts, fixtures, and other ergonomic solutions for a total project solution.

Operator and Maintenance Personnel Training

After a new piece of equipment or process is installed in your facility, it is very important that the operators, production people and maintenance personnel are trained to operate and maintain this installation safely and efficiently.

Planning & Layout Design

Positech can supply 2D and/or 3D layouts and profiles of the existing area and the product flow and production enhancement of the completed project.

Long-Term Service Support

Positech has 24-hour phone support, preventative maintenance services and spare parts support for the life of the equipment.

Case Studies

Gas Cylinders

Industry: Metal Fabrication
Challenge: Cylindrical

The cylinders weigh between 50 to 100 lbs., 8″ – 10″ diameter and 48″ – 52″ long. 120″ of radial reach is required for three pick up and place points. The cylinders are up to 350° in temperature when the are brought to the work cell. Plant safety procedures require maintenance personnel must be able to service the electrical and hydraulic components from floor level.

Abrasive Paper

Industry: Paper

How to safely pitch heavy rolls, varying in size from vertical to horizontal beneath a hoist.

Flywheel Housing

Industry: Agriculture, Construction, Military and Defense
Challenge: Engine Handling

Heavy parts were being mounted to an engine on a hanging conveyor and engines are allowed to sway. Operators had to crawl under the engine to insert shields onto installed housing with only 6″ clearance.

Axle Shaft Stock

The previous solution, using dual hoist, required cumbersome tooling and excessive positioning caused hoist motors to burn out.

Conveyor Rollers

Industry: Mining
Challenge: Cylindrical

Limited work space, multiple obstacles, and heavy parts lead to ergonomic problems. Restricted power sources and underground environmental conditions limited the available equipment to perform the tasks. The end-user was looking for a solution to improve operator ergonomics as well as the overall efficiency of this maintenance process.

Blood Buckets

Industry: Food and Beverage
Challenge: Baskets - Buckets - Totes

The bucket is heavy when full and the sharp spikes presented a danger to people handling the bucket. Since the contents are liquid, spills are always a concern. Also, the manipulator must be washed down daily with hot, soapy water from a high pressure washer.
