5 best welding tractors
A welding tractor is a professional equipment that allows you to automate and greatly facilitate the implementation of large volumes of metal welding. The possibility of independent movement, both with the use of a special guide, and directly on the material, significantly increases the efficiency of the equipment and reduces the time spent on performing technical tasks.
The overview rating presents the best models of welding tractors that can be bought on the domestic market. When choosing, both technical characteristics and recommendations of experienced specialists using welding machines of this type were taken into account.
TOP 5 best welding tractors
5 Riland-Aurora PRO MZ 1250
The welding tractor has a modular architecture with a separate inverter. The device can carry out submerged-arc welding in an automated mode, the effectiveness of which is expressed in a significant acceleration of the work process, which does not affect the quality of the seam. It can work on lap joints, butt joints, and also perform fillet welding. The movement is carried out both along the guide and directly on the material to be welded. It is possible to adjust the position of the welding seam - it can be both inside the track and outside.
The welding tractor has a simple structure, which increases its reliability. Protection against overheating and voltage surges, high-quality forced cooling also have a positive effect on the service life.
4 ADF-1000
The welding tractor performs single and multilayer welding with submerged arc welding of electrode wire. Requires a three-phase connection. The software allows the trolley speed to be synchronized with the wire feed. The unit can move both along the surface of the material to be welded and along a special guide. The welding tractor can be controlled remotely. The remote control can also be used to continuously adjust the welding voltage.
The working head is movable and is installed at the desired angle to the surface. During the process, the convenience of visual control is provided by a laser beam marker. The seams can be performed in a straight line or circular technique. The equipment can apply overlap seams, butt weld (with or without grooving), and at an angle (joint in "brands").
3 EvoSAW 1250-II
This self-propelled unit can perform automatic submerged-arc welding, has a split design (inverter power supply and automated installation) and a high working speed: in one minute, the welding tractor makes a seam with a length of 10 to 15 cm, depending on the thickness of the metal.
In addition, it is possible to separately use the inverter to perform air-arc gouging (cutting a workpiece to a certain depth) or electrode manual welding. The presence of a protection system against overheating and short circuit allows you to avoid premature failure of the welding tractor, as well as to protect the working personnel.
2 Svarog MZ1000
The Svarog MZ1000 welding tractor is designed to work with various metals with a thickness of 4 to 30 mm. The high performance of the equipment allows the installation to be used in continuous production processes. The stability of the adjustable output current parameters provides a smooth arc, which has a positive effect on the quality of the weld.
The welding unit has an internal circuit for stabilizing the fluctuations of the input voltage, and to connect it, a three-phase network is required. State-of-the-art controls and setpoint displays greatly simplify operation.In addition, there is a memory for recording (up to 100 jobs) of the basic welding algorithms, which speeds up the process of setting up the equipment.
1 ESAB A2 Multitrac
An excellent welding tractor, when working under flux, it can use two wires at once (arc splitting). Prevention of air access to the welded pool can be carried out with the help of inert gases. By installing a special adapter, the unit can be used for air carbon gouging. The LAF thyristor inverter used with the unit has a three-phase connection and ensures high arc stability even at low voltage.
Accuracy of movement during welding along the connecting seam is ensured by the all-wheel drive of the trolley. The information display, convenient operation, as well as the possibility of programming the operation of the tractor greatly simplifies the operation process. The equipment is distinguished by high quality of assembly and used components, which determines the efficiency of operation even when working in difficult conditions.
