K-BUG 5100 All Position Pendulum Weave Welder (Hi-Flex rail)

Product catalog summary

Technical Specifications:
The KBUG-5100 is a compact, portable welding unit designed for all-position welding. It operates on either 120VAC or 240VAC power, with a net weight of 18 lbs (8.2 kg) and a shipping weight of 24 lbs (10.9 kg). The unit supports a vertical lifting power of 50 lbs (22.7 kg) and fits a straight torch holder. The tractor dimensions range from 12.34 to 14.9 inches in width, 9.67 inches in length, and 8.48 to 10.09 inches in height. The torch support adjustment includes a Y-stroke of 2.05 inches (52 mm) and a Z-stroke of 1.69 inches (43 mm), both with a ±5% tolerance.

Performance Features:
The KBUG-5100 features a digital LED speed indicator with a range of 1 to 34.7 inches per minute (ipm). It offers a weaver speed of 0 to 188 inches per minute (477 cm/min) and a weave width of up to 1.23 inches (31.24 mm). The unit can perform up to 200 cycles per minute at a 0.25-inch (6.35 mm) stroke. The welding process is enhanced by programmable dwells for improved weld penetration and control undercut.

Operational Capabilities:
The unit is equipped with a Hi-Flex Track guided travel carriage, allowing for precise path and consistent speed in both curved and straight-line applications. It includes a high torque, low inertia motor for precise stops and starts, and a high-speed motor for pendulum weaving. The KBUG-5100 also features closed-loop speed and position control, wireless remote control with a range of 32 ft (10 m), and storage of welding parameters after power-off.

Additional Features:
The KBUG-5100 offers five weave patterns selectable via a button, including straight line, continuous run, weave with stops, step, and tractor stop on dwell. It includes a weld contactor ON/OFF switch, independent control of puddle build and crater fill, and a high geared pendulum motor to prevent torch movement when power is off.

Accessories and Options:
The unit can be mounted using magnets or a vacuum system, with additional options such as a vacuum pump kit, swivel and fixed magnets, and various torch options for different welding guns and cable lengths.
