Welding automation carriage control for a stitch or continuous welding, and with a control that uses a Gullco microprocessor to provide accurate repeatability regardless of travel speeds for weld distance on and weld distance off. It has a forward/stop/reverse switch, wire feed start on/off switch, travel speed potentiometer, auto wire feed start with delay carriage start, and a wire feed connector with a 15ft (4572mm) control cable. All functions are displayed in an LED window.
The MOGGY® is intended to automate and improve the quality of welding and cutting operations by carrying the welding gun(s) or cutting torch(es), at precisely controlled speeds, along the path of the joint. The MOGGY® carriage also provides an interface between the welding and cutting motion and the arc start and stop signals. The automation carriage is normally guided by adjustable guide wheels which are set to always drive the carriage slightly into the vertical member (usually either the vertical member of a filler joint or a template/fence placed parallel to the joint). Industry-standard 6" v-groove track may also be used to guide the path of the MOGGY®. The carriage is flexible enough to allow it to be easily configured for horizontal lap, butt and fillet weld joints as well as a variety of cutting processes.
Using the MOGGY® automation carriage system will add accuracy and uniformity to welding and cutting applications while increasing productivity. Typical applications include shipbuilding, offshore construction, bridge and railcar construction along with a variety of other steel fabrication applications.
