Overview
Carriage Assembly
The carriage assembly consists of two fixed jaws and two
hydraulically operated movable jaws. The carriage assembly
can be used in a 4 jaw and 3 jaw configurations. The 4 jaw
configuration includes the use of the indexer for the heater and
facer. The 4th jaw can be removed on the 4 jaw configuration for
fusions of ells and tees.
The 3 jaw configuration is removed from the 4 jaw skid and does
not use the indexer for the heater and facer. The 3 jaw is a compact
fusion configuration for use in close quarters where space is
limited.
The carriage assembly can be removed from the machine for
remote operation. An optional hydraulic extension and electric
cable extension kit is required when using the carriage remotely.
