AUTOMATE AND IMPROVE PIPE WELDING AND ORBITAL WELDING APPLICATIONS
WELDING AND CUTTING
The Pipe KAT® is a pipe welding carriage designed
for orbital welding. It is an electrically powered track
guided carriage that operates in the forward or reverse
directions at precisely controlled speeds. The carriage
operates on a track band made of durable aluminum
extrusion by engaging the track with self-aligning
wheels and a rack and pinion drive. This wheel
assembly uses a lever to engage that track making it
very quick and simple to install the carriage.
The Pipe KAT® is a fully integrated welding system
which comes with a wire feeder and wire spool holder.
SPECIFICATIONS: Driven by a 24 VDC motor which feeds wire to the
welding torch at precisely controlled speeds. The wire
