Arc Runner CDL Battery Operated Programmable Welding Tractor

PRICE

The ARC Runner CDL is a state-of-the-art, battery-powered, programmable welding tractor designed to deliver exceptional performance in producing both fillet and butt welds, whether in stitch or continuous welding modes. This innovative welding tractor offers unparalleled convenience and flexibility, eliminating the need for cumbersome cables and allowing for seamless operation in various environments.

With its advanced programming function, the ARC Runner CDL enables you to precisely set the desired welding path by specifying critical parameters such as weld length, skip length, and crater filling at both the beginning and end of the welds. This ensures consistent and high-quality welds every time.

Powered by the robust CAS LiHD (High Density Lithium Ion) battery, the ARC Runner CDL provides ample power to handle even the most demanding applications. This high-capacity battery ensures that you can work uninterrupted, without the hassle of managing power cords, making it ideal for on-site and remote welding tasks.

The ARC Runner CDL features sophisticated travel speed control and stabilization, allowing for precise matching of weld bead geometry to the required specifications. This precision reduces costly over-welding and significantly decreases filler metal consumption, enhancing overall efficiency and productivity. Additionally, the ARC Runner CDL can produce weave welds with the use of an optional pendulum oscillator. This feature allows for meticulous control of weave width, weave speed, and left/right side dwell times, ensuring optimal weld quality and consistency.

Experience the ultimate in convenience and performance with the ARC Runner CDL, the battery-powered cordless welding tractor that sets a new standard in welding technology.
