The Rail Tug is a digitally controlled tractor designed for the mechanization of welding and thermal cutting processes. Featuring a rack and pinion drive system with electronic speed control, the Rail Tug creates weld bead geometry which is exact to your specifications, reducing costly over welding and decreasing filler metal usage. Key features 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. Applications Trailer manufacturing Truck tanks Oil tanks Water storage tanks Pressure vessels Bridge girders Structural steel Structural towers Panel welding Transformers Shipyards Any application demanding long continuous welds Primary features and benefits: Compact, lightweight design Closed-loop speed control system based on electric motor with encoder – ensures increased accuracy of speed Rack and pinion drive Consistent heat input reduces distortion Reduces wasted filler metal – eliminates over welding Digital LED display for presetting of travel speed Automatic arc on/off initiates welding and travel simultaneously
