Automates Overlay/Cladding Welding Operations

The Gullco KAT®Indexing System is typically used to automate single or multi-head overlay/cladding welding operations, hard surfacing, etc. The automatic routine drives a motorized device (either the KAT®carriage or the motorized rack arm), cycling back and forth between limit switches. When the device that is cycling reaches a limit switch, it pauses, and the other motorized device starts to index the gun/torch a preset distance in a preset direction. An Arc Signal Relay is supplied with the system to provide integrated arc activation signals to the overlay/surfacing equipment. Two GSP controls, each with dedicated microprocessor chips, are used to control the automatic, two axis indexing system. One GSP control is the Cycle Control and the other is the Index Control. Each control offers user programmable parameters/variables to allow fine-tuning and functional control of the automatic cycle. Gullco Indexing Systems, enable repetitive overlay/ surfacing cycles to be preformed, with precise motion of the gun/torch from start to finish, regardless of the number of passes of the work pieces involved.

• The E.A.H.S works by measuring welding current, comparing it to a target value that has been set by the operator and automatically adjusting the height of the welding gun to maintain the target welding current. The Model GK-203-400 is a standalone unit meaning it does not interface with the wire feeder. The arc activation trigger signal of the welding equipment that is used to start/stop the welding process must come from a separate piece of equipment, for example customer supplied control of other Gullco equipment. This advanced Electronic Arc Height Sensor package uses Gullco's sophisticated, yet easy to operate remote pendant control, in conjunction with a 4" linear slide assembly and current sensing control box, to provide precision arc height control during the welding process. Welding guns are readily mounted on the linear slide. This equipment is intended to automatically control the torch height throughout the welding process. The longitudinal movement can be obtained from either the work piece traveling while the linear remains stationary, or, by a travel carriage such as the Gullco KAT carriage carrying the E.A.H.S equipment down the length of the work piece which is the norm. Combining the welding gun height control with the precision controlled travel speed of the KAT carriage will allow high quality workmanship to be produced.

MOGGY® Automated Trackless Welding Carriage

The Gullco MOGGY® friction drive travel carriage is designed to perform Horizontal Fillet Welding, Lap Welding and Butt Welding. It can be fitted with a Gullco Compact Oscillator to perform multi-pass welding. These operations can be performed on horizontal fillets with a minimum radius of 39 in. (1 meter) and up to a 30º incline. Following is a brief description of the Moggy and components that make up the system.

Product Details:

The GULLCO® KAT®100 automation carriage is the major component of an automated system designed to improve welding and cutting applications by increasing quality and reducing the cost of operations by increasing productivity.

Operator safety is greatly enhanced by the use of GULLCO® low voltage (24 VDC) control and switch-mode power supply integration. The carriage consists of a low voltage 24 VDC permanent magnet gear motor which engages the track through a set of spur gears. An easy to engage clutch lever permits free-wheeling of the carriage for rapid positioning. The carriage is designed to run on a rigid KAT® track to provide stable consistent results.

KAT®100 series carriages come in 2 models to automate both welding and cutting applications along with a variety of accessories to help improve efficiency including torch positioning and movement as well as arc start integration.

The simplest in the series of KAT® mechanized automation. The 100 is designed to be an entry-level carriage with a simple setup, minimal control complexity, and quickly integrates into a variety of welding and cutting applications.

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 KAT® Carriage Auto-Weld enables a wide variety of automated welding cycles that can be repeatedly performed along any plane. The advanced Auto-Weld control monitors, via distance travelled, and responds to limit switches mounted on the KAT® which in turn respond to adjustable activators mounted at appropriate positions on the KAT® Track. Travel direction/speed and length of travel path are synchronized with precise weld start and weld stop settings. By combining different control settings and limit switch activator positions, a wide variety of welding cycles can be repeatedly performed. The KAT® Auto-Weld Combination is ideal for stitch welding and seam welding applications where repeatability and accuracy are desired. The reliability and precision of this automated welding system reduces cost, adds efficiency and improves quality.

Rail Tug | Welding and Cutting Tractor
The Rail Tug can be used with semi-flexible track for plate and tank work with a minimum radius of 5 m (16 ft) or adapted to bent ring rail for pipe and tube applications. Standard ring rails are available for tube diameters from 200 mm (8”) up to 3000 mm (10 ft), whereas custom rolled tracks can be used for tube diameters between 3 m (10 ft) and 10 m (32 ft). Using a vacuum system allows the track to be clamped to non-ferrous surfaces (stainless steel, aluminum etc.) The Rail Tug economically meets a broad array of welding and cutting applications on flat or curved plate, tube and pipe.

Product Details:

The Gullco KAT® which has been used throughout the world for decades has been re-engineered to be smaller and lighter than previous models, yet robust and feature rich. These engineered features include:

The Gullco Rigid KAT® welding carriage is used throughout the world to automate a wide variety of welding and cutting operations. It is a rugged, reliable precision welding and cutting travel carriage designed for use on rigid track which enables it to operate along any plane. The rigid track can be used in straight sections or be formed for use on curved surfaces. Gullco manufactures several systems and accessories designed for use with the Rigid KAT® making it one of the most versatile pieces of welding and cutting automation equipment available in the industry.

The KAT® carriage is used throughout the world to automate and improve the quality and efficiency of single or multiple arc welding or cutting operations. Welding guns or cutting torches mounted on the KAT® carriage move along track at precisely controlled speeds along the desired path in forward or reverse direction. Gullco's Rigid KAT® carriage enables welding guns or cutting torches to operate with precise motion from start to finish regardless of the number of passes or the work pieces involved. By adopting this automation great improvements to the quality, efficiency and repeatability of the process are achieved. Poor or awkward accessibility, operator fatigue, or inconsistent workmanship are eliminated.

The Arc Length System (TP-300-AVC) is used in combination with TIG welding and plasma cutting power sources to give automatic control of the arc voltage to maintain arc length.

The ALS monitors the arc voltage by comparing it with the level set on the TP-300-AVC front control panel and makes changes to the torch position as necessary. Once the torch height has been selected it will be maintained despite any changes in the height of the workpiece.
