Rail Tug | Welding and Cutting Tractor
The Rail Tug is a digitally controlled tractor designed for the mechanization of welding and thermal cutting processes. Featuring a rack and pinion drive system with electronic speed control, Rail Tug creates weld bead geometry which is exact to your specifications, reducing costly over welding and decreasing filler metal usage. It can be used with semi-flexible tracks for plate and tank work with a minimum radius of 5 m (16 ft) or adapted to bent ring rail for pipe and tube applications. Hi-Flex tracks are suitable for variety of circumferential and irregular surface applications down to minimum radius of 750 mm (30”). Standard ring tracks are available for tube diameters from 200 mm (8”) up to 3000 mm (10 ft), whereas custom rolled tracks can be used for tube diameters between 3 m (10 ft) and 10 m (32 ft). Using a vacuum system allows the tracks to be clamped to non-ferrous surfaces (stainless steel, aluminum etc.). The Rail Tug economically meets a broad array of welding and cutting applications on flat or curved plate, tube and pipe.
Applications
Primary features and benefits:
Suitable for variety of circumferential and irregular surface applications
Welding and cutting applications down to minimum radius of 100 mm (4”)
High speed up to 3 m/min makes plasma cutting available
Precise torch adjustment enables double bevel cut
Standard shipping set
System build
Rail Tug can work in various welding positions on both ferromagnetic and non-ferromagnetic materials by using rack and pinion drive and various tracks equipped with magnetic or vacuum units.
Available on request, diameter can be custom configured within the range from 200 mm OD up to 3000 mm OD (from 8” to 10 ft). Ring tracks can be equipped with various supports depending on the customer’s needs.

OSC-8 along with Rail Tug tractor
OSC-8 | Pendulum Weave Welder can be controlled manually or by using an external START-STOP switch. Using an optional freestanding support allows welding of rotating pipes or moving plates. An optional power supply allows connecting the oscillator to a 230 V or 115V power source. OSC-8 is suitable for MIG/MAG automate processes in heavy fabrication industries such as: pipeline and bridge construction, shipbuilding and tank welding.
