Every Lima Positioner is built in our plant in Lima, OH USA.

We have, and continue to build our positioners for other companies that are sold through distribution. If you have a machine that looks like ours, it was designed and built right here. These machines can all be serviced by us.

It depends on your process and workpiece diameter. Every Lima model and speed range option CAN be turned all the way down to zero, but the speed range options represent the most stable operating range as a result of different motor and gearing combinations. Basically, if you run under the stated range of your positioner, rotation will become less stable as you approach zero RPM.

Here is an equation that might help:

Welding travel speed / Part circumference = RPM

Example:

3" diameter tube welded at 10 IPM

3.14 x 3 = 9.42" Circumference

10 IPM/ 9.42" C = 1.06 RPM

Let us know right away. Depending on the model, and the amount of use, we can come up with a plan to retrofit your machine, or swap it out for exactlty what you need.

Right here! We have been making these positioners for over 40 years, so any part you need is available either on this site, or by talking to us about what you need. If you don't have your original parts list, take a picture of what you need and email to us, along with a picture of the data tag. You can call 419-222-4181, or email sales@limaequipment.com

All of our positioners come with a 90 day parts warranty that covers the replacement part and shipping. We are a small company, and have been making these machines for a LONG time. We will always work to find a fair solution to a problem that arises outside of this period.

No. If you prefer your positioner to be a different color, let us know prior to ordering, and give us a few extra days, and we will paint your machine however you like!

The wait is over! The XT-25 is available now!
