Abstract
A five axis welding positioner has a horizontally oriented indexing axis for indexing a welding part between workstations. The indexing axis corresponds to a first axis of rotation. Each workstation has a 'C' shaped frame for holding a welding part and may be tilted about a tilting axis. The tilting axes of each workstation correspond to second and third axes of rotation. Each 'C' shaped frame has a head stock and tail stock that can rotate the welding part about a rotation axis. The rotation axes correspond to fourth and fifth axes of rotation. Movement about each axis can be effectuated by an actuator such as a motor.
