BUG-6350 STAND ALONE PENDULUM WEAVER
INTRODUCTION
The Stand Alone Pendulum Weaver is meant to be a self contained machine used for weave welding.
It can be installed as part of a welding fixture, or mounted on a drive carriage running on a track. It can
also be mounted directly on a BUG-O DC- I drive unit, and has provision to supply power to the DC-I.
(shown below)
The Pendulum Weaver is particularly useful for weaving fillet welds in a corner joint. The Weaver box is
attached on the end of an adjustable rack, held by a rackholder that can be mounted on the front of the
drive carriage, or directly on the welding fixture.
FEATURES
• High torque, low inertia motor for precise starts and stops
• Heavy duty planetary gear box with powerful output shaft for rotating welding gun and attachments
for the gun
• Uniform pendulum motion with independent control of right and left dwell times
• High motor gearing ratio, that prevents the welding gun moving by backdriving the gear train when
power is off
• Closed loop speed control for adjustable and repeatable control of critical welding parameters
• Closed loop position control to prevent drift from the center position
• Gun mounting group with adjustable linkage for accurate positioning of the gun
• Weld Contactor ON/OFF switch
