Lineal Positioners: The Accurate, Economical, Automated Solution

Lineal positioners are quickly becoming one of the most important pieces of equipment in the window fenestration industry.  The use of a top-of-the-line lineal positioner creates an automated stop/gauge and pusher system in which employees can be quickly trained, generally within an hour, creating a massive efficiency across manufacturing areas, by helping to move product through fast and easily.

So what is a lineal positioner?

A lineal positioner is a machine tool that allows the user to measure for cuts simply, accurately, and automatically.  Lineal positioners can be added to just about any type of machine currently in your shop.  Instead of using a tape measure, which can be unwieldy and inaccurate (and often depends on who is taking the measurement), a lineal positioner allows an exact measurement to be programmed into it, which means you get the exact same, 100% accurately-sized cut every single time you use it.
