2025: Start manufacturing positioners that help industrial robots work more accurately

Mass production of specialized positioners designed to improve the accuracy of industrial robots has started in St. Petersburg. The new devices provide rotation and tilt of blanks weighing from 250 to 1000 kilograms during process operations. Robowizard announced this on September 4, 2025.

According to Delovoy Petersburg, positioners create the opportunity for robots to gain access to hard-to-reach areas of processed products. The devices are used in welding, painting, assembly operations, mechanical processing of parts and three-dimensional printing of metal products by surfacing.

The St. Petersburg enterprise has mastered the production of uniaxial positioners capable of rotating blanks and biaxial models that additionally tilt parts at the required angle. The production line includes linear movement modules that expand the reach of robotic systems due to their movement along a straight trajectory.

All devices are controlled through the robot controller, which ensures synchronization of the movements of the equipment. Robowizard Deputy Director Roman Timofeev noted that the company is implementing a strategy for maximum localization of robotic systems. The company has already transferred production to domestic welding equipment and developed its own software for managing such systems.

The development of positioners and linear displacement modules was the next stage in increasing the share of Russian components in robotic complexes. Localization of production reduces dependence on imported supplies and increases the technological independence of the industry.

In 2026, the city authorities plan to allocate ₽200 million to compensate enterprises for part of the costs of introducing robots and robotic complexes. Experts estimate this amount as limited, since the cost of integration is five, and sometimes 10 - 20 times higher than the price of the robot itself. The allocated funds will be enough to integrate 20-30 robotic systems^[1]
