Seam Tracking Systems

The Cyclomatic Series Seam Tracker control uses our proven microprocessor touch pad design to maintain the torch to weld joint position. The system continuously senses the position of the joint, translating the informa- tion into horizontal and vertical movement of the torch. As a result, the welding arc stays precisely on track — to within ±0.005” (0.13 mm) or better! The state of the art performance of the control’s Atmel

processor coupled with the rugged slide design options gives accurate, repeatable weld joint location.All types of welding systems, both new and existing, can benefi t. The system easily and quickly installs, without expensive brackets or interfacing, on manipulators, side beams, tractors, positioners, turning rolls, and welding lathes, as well as on most custom welding fi xtures.The Cyclomatic Seam Tracker is especially benefi cial in high-volume, accuracy-sensitive industries such as tank and pressure vessel fabrication, beam and structural as- semblies, and pipe and tubing fabrication.
