BUG-O SYSTEMS
BUG-O Systems’ Kits are assembled from modular
components. Each kit was originally an adaptation to
meet an actual problem. The concept is both practical
and economical, and is quickly and easily adapted
on the job site.
Initially developed to carry cutting torches in a precise
work path, the primary aim of the BUG-O System is
movement at controlled speed and direction in any
position. The secondary function is to provide suitable
holding or clamping devices to make BUG-O integral
with both the workpiece and the cutting or welding
tool.
BUG-O is more than a flame cutting system- it’s a
revolution in welding procedures. Ingenious customers
have developed hundreds of ways to cut time and
costs by putting this system to work for them, and
most of the these applications have saved the cost of
the unit on the first job.
With BUG-O Systems you can double your welding
production!
The nucleus of the BUG-O System of modular path
and rate control components is the BUG-O. It is a
self-propelled multipurpose carriage and rail system
with infinitely variable speeds. A steel pinion meshes
with a machine-cut steel rack to provide a positive
drive. The BUG-O is locked onto a rail, which is
mounted on the work.
The BUG-O unit is suitable for use with the most
advanced electric welding processes. It is also the
practical way to carry any process requiring precision
movement; in applications such as gouging, spraying,
guiding ultrasonic inspection and others.
