THE GULLCO KAT® WELDING AND CUTTING CARRIAGE

THE MOST DURABLE, DYNAMIC, AND VERSATILE CARRIAGE IN THE INDUSTRY

Earlbeck Gases provides Welding & Cutting Automation products to help manufacturers reduce rework and improve productivity. We have partnered with Gullco to provide welding and cutting carriages due to their light weight design, simple set up, and quality manufacturing. 
The Gullco KAT® is used throughout the world to automate a wide variety of welding and cutting operations. The KAT® is small and light yet robust with many features which include:
  • Tool-less Setup, Adjustment & Operation
  • Self-aligning Wheels (Easy Installation)
  • Dynamic Dovetail Racking for versatile torch positioning
  • Quick clutch mechanism
  • OSHA Safety Orange
  • Ingress Protection (Sealed Unit) including Conformal Coated Circuit Boards
  • Energy Efficient
  • Universal Compatibility to all welding power sources and wire feeders
  • Torch holder memory for fast torch removal and accurate repositioning after cleaning
  • Compatible with all existing rigid track and the new semi rigid track sections
Welding guns or cutting torches mounted on the KAT® carriage move along track at precisely controlled speeds along the desired path in forward or reverse direction. Gullco's Rigid KAT® carriage enables welding guns or cutting torches to operate with precise motion from start to finish regardless of the number of passes or the work pieces involved. By adopting this automation great improvements to the quality, efficiency and repeatability of the process are achieved. Poor or awkward accessibility, operator fatigue, or inconsistent workmanship are eliminated.

The Gullco Standard Platform (GSP) range of controls have switching for forward / neutral / reverse, run / stop, Manual / Auto & program variable increment/decrement (where applicable) and a rotary encoder for speed control. This micro-processor based, 24 volt DC motor control can be supplied to provide a variety of “optional” functions such as indexing, weld oscillation and auto-weld. The selected “option’ function and carriage travel speed/ direction are directed by a single GSP control. This ensures high levels of accuracy, quality and reliability.

AUTOMATED WELDING SYSTEM KAT® 300 SERIES CARRIAGE

These carriages are the most durable, dynamic, and versatile machines available in the industry. While they are robust and feature-rich, they have been engineered to be smaller and lighter than previous models.  A single carriage can perform a multitude of processes.​
