Welding Tractors

Sub-arc welding tractors are specialised pieces of equipment designed to automate and streamline the process of submerged arc welding (SAW). This welding technique involves using an electric arc between a consumable electrode and the workpiece, submerged in a flux. The flux provides a protective atmosphere, prevents oxidation, and helps to produce high-quality welds.

Key Benefits of Sub-Arc Welding Tractors:

• Increased Efficiency: Tractors automate the welding process, reducing labour costs and increasing productivity
• Improved Quality: Consistent welding parameters and precise control over the arc ensure high-quality welds with minimal defects
• Enhanced Safety: Tractors can be operated remotely, reducing the operator’s exposure to hazardous fumes and radiation
• Versatility: Sub-arc welding tractors can be used for a wide range of applications, including heavy fabrication, shipbuilding, and pipeline construction

Choosing the Right Sub-Arc Welding Tractor:

When selecting a sub-arc welding tractor, consider the following factors:

• Welding Capacity: The tractor should be able to handle the required welding current and wire feed rate
• Track System: The track system should be robust and suitable for the welding environment
• Control Features: Look for advanced control features such as automatic voltage control and remote operation
• Compatibility: Ensure the tractor is compatible with your existing welding equipment and consumables
