Product catalog summary
Overview: The Automatic Height Control (AHC) by Bug-O Systems is a compact accessory designed to maintain a constant welding torch-to-work distance, crucial for consistent and quality welds. It is compatible with Sub Arc, Flux-Core, and MIG welding processes and requires a constant voltage power supply.
Specifications: The AHC system includes a solid-state control box and a motorized slide that can be attached to any standard Bug-O Systems carriage or fixture. It offers a travel range of 2 inches (50.8 mm) and a load capacity of 10 lbs (4.54 kg). The system operates within a current range of 60 to 500 Amps and is available with power supply options of 120VAC, 240VAC, and 42VAC.
Integration Options: The AHC can be integrated into various systems, including the CAS-2100 for Free Standing Torch Support, CAS-2060 for MDS Pendulum Weaver System, and CAS-2050 for MDS Linear Weaver System. The BUG-6553 is a factory-installed option for the Universal Bug-O-Matic.
Functionality: The AHC automatically adjusts the torch height in response to changes in welding current, ensuring uniform weld penetration and controlled heat input. It features an automatic shut-off when the current is off or falls below a preset limit. A manual jog switch allows temporary override during welding.
Technical Data: The system's net weight is approximately 14.5 lbs (6.6 kg). It includes a built-in time delay after the arc is struck and shuts off automatically when the current drops below 60 Amps.
Recommendations: For optimal performance, ensure the welding current remains above 60 Amps. Consult Bug-O Systems for appropriate mountings and configurations for specific mechanized welding systems.
