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 information 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 benefit. 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 fixtures. The Cyclomatic Seam Tracker is especially beneficial in high-volume, accuracy-sensitive industries such as tank and pressure vessel fabrication, beam and structural assemblies, and pipe and tubing fabrication. • Three models available - standard and programmable; in 40 lb, 250 lb, & 450 lb weight capacities • Tracks single pass fillet and groove welds • Improves quality via constant torch to weld joint orientation • Value - The programmable PTST model can operate as a weld system controller • Benefits GMAW, FCAW, SAW applications • Precise, tracking accuracy up to ±0.005 inch (0.1 mm) • Controls and slides are backward compatible with older Cyclomatic models • Performance - The PTST model stores up to 19 weld programs, each consisting of up to 8 sequential steps System Components 9660S or 9660P Microprocessor-based Control The microprocessor control is housed in a NEMA enclosure for easy mounting near the work center. The control unit has a lighted power switch and fuse holder mounted on the exterior of the unit. The control unit houses solid-state components which provide long life and trouble-free operation. All interconnecting cables enter the control unit through connectors on the bottom of the enclosure. A sealed heatsink mounted on the side of the control allows for convection cooling. The 9660P programmable control can automatically control the weld cycle, including power supply start and stop, wire feed, positioner, and other related equipment. With the programmable control, up to 19 individual weld programs can be developed and stored. A two-axis search feature enables the Omni-Guide sensor to find the weld joint automatically prior to welding. Two basic cycle modes are available: Timed or End-of-Weld Cutoff. Special timing functions allow for stable arc initiation, crater fill, and retraction to a home position. This option also provides inputs for remote signals from other equipment to start, emergency stop, control tack cutoff, auto disable, external limit switch, end-of-weld signal, and enable multiple tracker synchronization for multi-torch welds.

CYCLOMATIC SERIES SEAM TRACKING SYSTEMS Omni-Guide® Sensor Assembly Seam Tracker Pendant The electromagnetic mechanical sensor rides in the weld joint ahead of the torch. The Omni-Guide is a unique, durable sensor that tracks the weld joint and provides correction signals to the seam tracker system. The correction signals enable the motorized cross slides to maintain a ±0.005” (0.13 mm) accuracy while aligning the welding torch with the weld joint. The sealed design of the OmniGuide prevents dust, heat, and moisture from damaging internal components. Ergonomic, light weight, easy to operate...
