June 23, 2022 - Pemamek Oy and Pemamek LLC recently introduced the Skyhook Pro intelligent positioners, building upon their proven Skymaster Pro positioning technology. Controlled by a RC32H-wired remote control and intelligent software, the Skyhook Pro positioners can work with heavy loads up to 15 tons. The ability to pre-program and modify movements as needed has eliminated the need for clamping and increased productivity by 70 percent. They can be rotated +/-180 degrees for optimal positioning. Because the programs are generated ahead of time by more experienced welders, newer welders can continue operations for optimal working cycles using just the remote control and a pedal. This also provides for safer operation.

The Skyhook Pro positioners require a few fasteners and cables to install. An electrical cabinet contains a proprietary Wi-fi connected communication system for mobile phones, tablets and laptops. Users can program, diagnose and schedule maintenance, and import or export work cycle information to other Skyhook machines. They are easily integrated with Pema Column and Booms and are suited for assembly, arc-welding and post-weld finishing operations. The ability to pre-program and modify programs as needed provides great flexibility from a positioning, operational and welding personnel standpoint,” stated Michael Bell, Pemamek’s director of North American sales. Pemamek LLC, Cincinnati, 513/206-0807, pemamek.com.
