The Rail Runner Gen III is a compact, modular, mechanized tractor which can be custom configured for a variety of welding, thermal cutting, and gouging applications on flat or curved plate, tube and pipe. By utilizing a magnetic guide rail and positive rack and pinion drive, the system can be utilized in all welding positions. Ergonomic remote control pendant with simple, easy to find control knobs makes process adjustment possible without the operator lifting their welding hood. A digital display with numeric representation for each motion parameter makes presetting the optimum welding or cutting procedure simple and highly repeatable.
The Rail Runner Gen III welding tractor increases arc-on time and produces consistent, high-quality welds and cuts in a fraction of the time required by manual operations. Optional accessories include tactile probe seam tracking and motorized vertical torch slide for automatic torch height control.
The Rail Runner Gen III can be used with semi-flexible rail for plate and tank work with a minimum radius of 16’ (5 m) or adapted to bent ring rail for pipe and tube applications. Standard ring rails are available for tube diameters from 8” (200 mm) up to 9.85’ (3000 mm). Rail Runner Gen III can travel on hi-flex, semi-flexible, rigid or ring tracks that can be clamped to ferrous materials with magnetic units and to non-ferrous materials by means of vacuum track system incl. vacuum pump and vacuum units.
