LT7 Submerged Arc Tractor

Specifications

Additional Features

Features

• Self-propelled, mechanized DC wire feeder for submerged arc welding
• Invaluable for heavy fabrication because of its speed and ease of use
• Perfect anywhere that long welds in the flat and horizontal positions are required
• Can be used with or without track
• Solid state controls precisely regulate procedures for reliable starting and economical welding to exacting requirements
• Automatic compensation for input voltage and tractor loading variations which minimizes wire feed and tractor speed changes while welding
• Close mechanical alignment between wire and joint maximizes weld quality
• Exceptional tracking and self-steering in most applications permits operation with only one operator
• Operates off 115 VAC power
• Makes butt, fillet, and trough welds on heavy plate or steel as light as 12 gauge (2.5 mm)
• A portable and flexible automatic welding head designed for ship and barge building, spherical storage tank erection, bridge deck installation, beam, girder, or column fabrication, long seams on heavy weldments
• All controls are located on the tractor, eliminating the need to return to the power source for routine procedure changes
• Adjustments to electrode stickout or welding angles and tractor configuration changes can be made quickly and easily
• Requires only simple, routine maintenance for trouble-free, hardworking operation

Controls

• Current and voltage meters for monitoring weld parameters while welding
• 115 VAC control switch
• Inch buttons feed the electrode up and down at fixed inch speed
• Push buttons start and stop the arc and travel
• 115 VAC receptacle provides 120 watts of power for work lights
• Calibrated travel speed control sets speed of travel in inches per minute
• Direction of travel switch sets forward or reverse tractor direction for easy setup
• Travel switch controls the tractor travel for automatic starting and stopping when welding, travel without welding during setup, and travel off
• CC-CV switch is inside control box for selecting between constant current and constant voltage power sources
