Field of applica-
tion
Driving vehicle FDV 22 MF can be used in all situations where a high degree of flexibility
is required when executing longitudinal weld seams:
- Welding of longitudinal members
- Shipyards
- Bridge construction
- Workshops
- Production halls
- Building sites
General
Driving vehicle FDV 22 MF has been for
designed for flexibility and to improve pro -
ductivity in the execution of longitudinal
weld seams. A spatter guard mounted on
the working side and powder coating of all
housing components enable use in harsh
operating conditions.
A large holding and carrying handle and
robust yet lightweight design allow quick
and easy positioning on the workpiece.
The driving vehicle adheres to the com-
ponent by means of a permanent magnet.
This guarantees the best possible traction
even in vertical use.
The guide wheels automatically track the
torch in the filled joint.
The universal torch holder allows use of
both manual and machine welding torches.
Driving vehicle FDV 22 MF
Principle
Driving vehicle FDV 22 MF is a portable, battery-powered longitudinal truck with 4-wheel
drive. The driving vehicle is used to execute mechanised butt and fillet welds in horizon -
tal or vertical welding positions, with or without oscillation.
Machine concept
Driving vehicle FDV 22 MF must only be used for performing mechanised butt and fillet
welds in horizontal or vertical welding positions. Any other use shall be deemed to be im -
proper use and the manufacturer will assume no responsibility for any damages arising.
The following welding processes are possible:
- MIG/MAG process
Proper use
The FDV 22 MF can be equipped with a torch oscillation unit.
The driving vehicle together with the optional oscillation unit is powered by the inter -
changeable battery pack.
The control unit is integrated into the driving vehicle. The control panel has an illuminated
display allowing simple and user-friendly parameter setting for the driving vehicle.
Proper use also includes:
- use of the charger FDV MF and battery pack (14.4V / 3 Ah) included with the driving
vehicle
- use of the permanent magnet with a minimum sheet thickness of 5 mm
- use of MIG / MAG welding torches with a holder diameter of 16 - 22 mm
