Kat Weld Oscillation Automation Carriage

KAT Automation Carriage | Radial and Linear Weld Oscillation
This advanced weld oscillation system is designed to increase production and improve the quality of the weld produced in automatic mechanized welding operations by minimizing weld defects such as poor penetration, incomplete fusion, overlap and undercut.
The GK-200 Series automation ;carriages come with the option for linear or radial oscillation head and can be equipped for use on either rigid or flexible track.
The oscillator is available with a linear, pendulum, tangential or step (square pattern) motion to the welding gun with adjustable motorized stroke width, infinitely variable stroke speed adjustment, three independent position dwell times, motorized centre line positioning and automatic wire feed start and travel start/stop interface.
By combining welding gun oscillation movement with the precision controlled travel speed of the KAT® carriage increased weld quality and consistency can be achieved while reducing the overall production cost of the welding application. Up to 10 weld programs can be produced and stored.
Flat or Curved Surface Weld Oscillation | All Position Welding
The KAT® Weld Oscillation Automation Carriage ;is comprised of the Compact Oscillator head, controls, mounting brackets, connecting cable, 1-1/8" heavy duty micro fine rack boxes with rack arms for horizontal and vertical adjustments and standard MIG gun holder, together with a KAT® carriage for rigid track or flex track as shown above.
GK-200-F: Carriages are supplied with a KAT® specifically designed for operation on spring steel KAT® Flexible Track.
GK-200-R: Carriages are supplied with a KAT® specifically designed for operation on rigid aluminum KAT® Track.
All are equipped with the Gullco microprocessor-based programmable control with a closed loop feedback for complete speed accuracy regardless of load [0-100 lbs. (45kgs)] when operating in any weld position.
