Automated orbital welding carriage
THE Gullco Pipe KAT® is an automated
orbital welding carriage designed for
pipe welding applications.
Suitable for field pipeline
manufacturing and power plant
construction, the Pipe KAT is a
fully integrated welding system that
includes a remote control pendant to
allow adjustment of critical application
parameters during the welding process,
including oscillation width, speed,
dwells, wire feed speed and voltage
adjustment.
The carriage operates on a track
band made of durable aluminium
extrusion by engaging the track with
self-aligning wheels and a rack and
pinion drive. This wheel assembly
uses a lever to engage the track,
making it quick and simple to install
the carriage.
