1.3. Design

The LIZARD welding carriage consists of a chassis, a drive system, a controller,

a cross slide, two guide arms, a cable anchor, and a torch holder. The drive system

contains a gear-motor that drives four rubber wheels.

Permanent magnets fitted at the carriage bottom ensure proper clamping to

ferromagnetic

surfaces.

The cross slide allows for precise control of the torch holder

position in both the horizontal and vertical axis, and connecting the arc ignition cable

will enable the carriage to ignite an arc when selecting a travel direction.
