rotates, other welding methods such as TIG and Plasma can be
used, depending on the application and handling equipment.
The MechTrac unit is suitable for different types of workpieces
that can be covered by a gantry. The gantry offers the possibility
to weld profiles such as I-, T-, or L-beams, columns or tapered
beams. The MechTrac is available in four versions, depending
on the size of the workpiece. The difference is the width of the
gantry – 1730 mm, 2100 mm, 2500 mm or 3000 mm between
the legs.
The length of the legs is the same for all types, 1500 mm from
the top of the rail to the inside of the overhead beam.
The gantry can support a maximum weight of 220 kg, corre-
sponding to a maximum of two A2 welding heads (single or twin
wire) complete with automatic joint tracking GMH and an OPC
flux recovery unit.
