become a success, and its market

capacity of 22,000m² have gone into
operation. Today, GERO has state-of-
the-art warehouses that offer maximum
flexibility for storing, loading and
unloading goods.

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 the critical application
parameters during the welding process,
including oscillation width, speed,
dwells, wire feed speed and voltage.

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. The
wheel assembly uses a lever to engage
the track, making it quick and simple to
install the carriage.
The control design makes the Pipe Kat
easy to operate. A well-trained operator
is important when using automation, as
they become more of an arc monitor
and provide quality assurance during
the welding process. When choosing
an automation system it is important to
consider training and customer service,
and to ensure that products are used to
their full potential.
Because the pipeline construction
business involves a competitive bidding
process and welding is one of the most
critical and time consuming elements
of the fabrication portion of the job,
an effective, easy-to-use automation
system is a vital component.
By introducing automation to the
welding process the operator is able
to improve weld quality by maintaining
precise control of the arc. Welder fatigue
is eliminated, which minimises the
amount of stops and starts necessary
to complete the joint.
