Seam Tracker System

CLICK PHOTO FOR VIDEO

         The quality and efficiency achieved with today's automated welding systems can be impaired by material war page, misalignment, irregular edge fit-up, different material thicknesses and other conditions that cause variations in the weld seam. Gullco Kat ® Trackers restore optimum performance when these conditions are encountered. They continually sense the slightest variation across the weld seam and automatically correct the position of the weld torch. The trackers are designed for incorporation and use with the Gullco “Kat ® “travel carriage system but can readily be used with other traveling and rotating devices employed in automated welding operations.

        The systems are effectively employed to cut costs and increase productivity in a wide range of applications such as tank, pressure vessel, structural component fabrication and deep groove welding operations. Gullco Kat ® Trackers are available in standard or heavy duty models to meet virtually all requirements.
