Preston-Eastin, Inc.

Preston-Eastin, Inc. (“Preston-Eastin”) designs and manufactures a complete line of manual, electric, and robotic welding positioners and manipulators. Customers range from small welding shops that use standard manual welding equipment to large industrial manufacturing operations that use sophisticated robotic welding equipment. A welding positioner can range in size from a small tabletop mount to large floor mount units that utilize I-beams for the frame, depending on the application. The company’s positioners help welding operators weld faster than possible with a manual or semiautomatic welding operation as the operator can concentrate on the weld rather than moving a part to manipulate a torch or electrode.
