The quality and efficiency achieved with today's automated welding systems can be impaired by material warpage, misalignment, irregular edge fit-up, different material thickness and other conditions that cause variations in the weld seam. Gullco Kat Tracker restore optimum performance when these conditions are encountered. They continually sense the slightest variation across the weld seam and automatically correct the position of the weld torch. The trackers are designed for incorporation and use with the Gullco Kat travel carriage system but can readily be used with other travelling and rotating devices employed in automated welding operations. The systems are effectively employed to cut costs and increase productivity in a wide range of applications such as tank, pressure vessel, pipe and structural component fabrication and deep groove welding operations. Gullco Kat Trackers are available in standard or heavy duty models to meet virtually all requirements. A brief description of each is provided below. Kat Trackers are precise, dependable and highly versatile. They can be used with a wide range of Gullco accessories/ systems such as oscillators, bridge units, multiple torch assemblies etc. Contact Gullco with your requirement. These Trackers provide precise right/left and vertical/ horizontal tracking plus…
Electronic "End of Plate Detection" -puts the tracking system on "hold"… Preventing the torch from driving into the plate and allowing welding to continue to the plate edge.
Electronic "Tack Detection" - interrupts the automatic tracking action when a tack-weld is encountered preventing the torch from rising prematurely...and returns the system to normal action when it reaches the end of the tack weld. The heavy duty version of model WSG-2200 with a vertical load capacity up to 100lbs. (45kg) at 6" (150mm) extension from the face plate. The standard stroke is 6"x6" (150x150mm). Note: The above data applies to standard slide assemblies. Other slide lengths, speed and higher capacities are available
