1. GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1. Application
The Rail Runner is a track carriage designed to make butt and fillet welds with or
without oscillation. The carriage allows MIG/MAG torches with the handle diameter of
16
–22 mm (0.63–0.87″). It can work in the following welding positions: PA/1F/1G,
PB/2F, PC/2G, PD/4F, PE/4G, PF/3G, and PG/3F/3G. The track is fixed by using
magnetic units to ferromagnetic surfaces that are flat or curved with a radius of at
least 5 m (16 ft).
Accessories allow, for instance, using torches with the handle diameter larger than
22
mm
(0.87
″)
and
guiding
the
carriage
on
a
semi-flexible
or
rigid track. Using a vacuum
track
system
allows
the track to be fixed to surfaces that are non-ferromagnetic.
