Arc Runner Portable Welding Carriage
Arc Runner Portable & Programmable Welding Carriage
The Steelmax® Arc Runner is a portable, programmable welding carriage designed to produce consistently high-quality welds. The friction drive and control loop feedback mechanisms provide speed stabilization in all positions. The unit enables weld bead geometry that is exact to the required specifications, substantially reducing costly over welding and decreasing filler metal usage.
The Arc Runner can be programmed in continuous or stitch welding modes. Two easy-to-use function buttons enable programming of weld length, distance between welds, reverse fill, crater fill time and other required patterns and parameters. The Arc Runners travels at full speed between stitches, which saves valuable welding time. It also offers an optional oscillation attachment.
FEATURES
- Compact, lightweight design with durable aluminum cast housing
- Permanent magnet clamping system with on/off lever for positive magnetic traction
- Maintenance free 4-wheel drive with worm gear reduction
- Quick clamping Torch Holder mechanism for different types of welding torches with diameters of 5/8˝ – 7/8˝ (16-22 mm); optionally up to 1-3/8˝ (35 mm)
- Precise torch adjustment with screw drive cross slide
- Multifunctional LED display and 2 function buttons for welding pattern programming
- Closed-loop speed control system stabilizes travel speed to reduce weld defects and costly repair work
- Consistent heat input reduces distortion
- Automatic ARC ON/OFF system initiates welding and travel, simultaneously
- Self-guiding roller arms eliminate the need for track
- Improves workers environment – reduces fatigue and repetitive stress – removes operator from heat and fumes
- Capable of carrying and controlling 2 torches (without oscillation)
- Up to 40 complete programs may be stored in non-volatile memory
PRIMARY BENEFITS
- Improves workers environment
