1.3. Design
The Rail Bull carriage consists of a chassis, a
drive system, a
controller, a
540 mm
(21’’)
geared
rack,
a
cable
anchor,
a
slide,
a
300
mm
(12’’)
vertical
geared
rack,
and a
torch holder. A cam mechanism enables the carriage to be installed on a
track,
onto
which
dual
magnetic
units
may be attached to allow the track to be fixed to the surface.
The drive system incorporates a gear-motor that drives a gear wheel cooperating
with the gear rack of the track. The position of the 540 mm geared rack is adjusted by
using the knob, and the slide with the vertical geared rack enables the adjustment of
the vertical position of the torch holder. Additionally, connecting the arc ignition cable
will enable the carriage to ignite an arc when selecting a travel direction.
