In this episode we are looking at a couple of welding positioners that I worked on. Retrofitting one from an old lost PLC to arduino, and another built from scratch. Both of these devices are designed for use with a TIG welder. The rotary positioner puts the work where you need it, and the linear positioner holds the torch and moves it in a precise line to get perfect dimes!
