Discover cordless freedom - now cross-manufacturer!

Cordless Alliance System (CAS) is a cross-manufacturer battery pack system of leading power tool brands. This permits now a number of professional applications also with battery packs – from standard to special tasks. Get more info here.

Primary features and benefits:

  • Compact, lightweight design with durable aluminum cast housing
  • Convenient 18 V DC battery supply
  • Strong magnetic traction permits out of position use
  • Magnet on/off lever permits easy set up and adjustment on work piece
  • Maintenance free 4-wheel drive with worm gear reduction
  • Heat resistant silicone wheels
  • Quick clamping torch holder mechanism for different types of MIG/MAG torches with diameters of 16-22 mm (5/8”-7/8”); optionally up to 35 mm (1-3/8”)
  • Precise torch adjustment with screw drive cross slide
  • Multifunctional LED display – presetting of travel speed, units, error codes information
  • Closed loop speed control system stabilizes travel speed to reduce weld defects and costly rework
  • Consistent heat input reduces distortion
  • Reduced wasted filler metal – eliminates over welding
  • Automatic arc on/off system initiates welding with travel, simultaneously
  • Capable of carrying and controlling two torches
  • Self-guiding roller arms eliminate the need for track
  • Multi-surface guiding with user-friendly adjustment of tractor position
  • Improves working environment – removes operator from heat and fumes

The newest improved guide arms family makes a proper welding tractor positioning even easier.

  • 7 different guide types are dedicated to various welding applications and positions
  • include a number of fixing grooves for your convenience
  • enable simpler, easier and more consistent adjustment of how guide arms stick out
  • secure proper tilting of the carriage into a direction of its movement
  • maintain a permanent contact with the workpiece
  • allow either interval or continuous guide arms adjustment

Continuous adjustment of a degree how much the guide arms stick out.

Each new guide arm has got a number of indented grooves only on one side. All types of guide arms are available in pairs of 2 pcs: right and left.

Interval adjustment of a degree how much the guide arms stick out
