Orbital Welding System – 5G/6G MIG/MAG welding
Promotech’s carriage is dedicated to Penstock I.O/O.D welding, pipe to pipe 5G/6G welding, and pipe to flange welding.
Promotech’s carriage is suitable for a variety of circumferential and irregular surface applications down to a minimum radius of 100 mm (4 inches). Followings are the variety of tracks available with our carriage
- Ring tracks on diameters from 200 mm (8”) O.D up to 3 m (10 ft) O.D
- Custom rolled tracks on diameters from 3 m (10 ft) O.D up to 10 m (32 ft) O.D
- Semi-flexible tracks can be flexed to a minimum radius of 5 m (16 ft) without permanent deformation
Primary features and benefits:
- A fully modular mechanized travel tractor can be custom configured for a variety of welding, thermal cutting and gouging applications on a flat or curved plate, tube and pipe
- Linear torch oscillator to produce weave welds
- Active compensation of torch position vertically and horizontally by means of modular automatic seam tracking system
- Programmable path of stitch welds
- Possibility to select one limit switch preset out of three presets available.
- Ergonomic remote control pendant with simple and easy to find control knobs makes adjustments possible without the lifting of the operator welding hood
- Magnetic adhesion of the pendant provides a firm grip on ferromagnetic materials
- Suitable for all welding positions on both ferromagnetic and non-ferromagnetic materials thanks to rack and pinion drive and various tracks equipped with magnetic or vacuum units
- Promotech’s carriage produces consistently high-quality welds and cuts in a fraction of the time required by manual operations
- High speed up to 3 m/min makes plasma cutting available
Promotech’s carriage overview
- Easy to upgrade modular design
- Continuous and programmable path of stitch welds (weld length, space between welds, backweld length, crater fill time)
- Linear torch oscillator to produce weave welds
- Three modes of automatic seam tracking (vertically, horizontally and both)
- Limit switch stops the arc and travels the tractor to the initial position
- Hand-held ergonomic control pendant (3 m cable included) with magnetic adhesion provides a firm grip on ferromagnetic materials
- Multifunctional LED display with numeric representations for each motion parameter makes presetting and repeating of the optimum welding or cutting procedure simple and without guess work
- Intuitive software with a user-friendly interface
- Automatic Arc on/off initiates welding and travel simultaneously
- Rack and pinion drive
- Convenient external 230-V, 115-V, or 42-V power supply
- Closed-loop position control system based on the electric motor with encoder ensures increased accuracy of speed
- and position
- Consistent heat input reduces distortion
- Reduces wasted filler metal – eliminates over welding
- Quick-clamping torch holder mechanism for different types of MIG/MAG torches with diameters of 16-22 mm
- (0.63-0.87”); up to 35 mm (1.38”) option
- Precise torch adjustment
- Improves working environment – removes the operator from heat and fumes
