UNIVERSAL BUG-O-MATIC
The Universal Bug-O-Matic (models BUG-5700, BUG-5702, and BUG-5704) is a compact unit that combines a powerful drive and precision oscillator within a single housing. This lightweight machine can be easily handled by a single operator. It is versatile, capable of operating in all positions, including vertical and overhead welds. By simply changing the carriage, the unit can adapt to rigid rail, semi-flex rail, hi-flex rail, or complete ring rails. The carriage's opening mechanism allows the unit to be installed or released at any point along the rail. During welding, adjustments can be made to the travel speed, amplitude, oscillation speed, as well as dwell times for both left and right. The torch can be guided via a separate steering knob while welding. The Bug-O-Matic features closed-loop feedback and dynamic braking for precise starts, stops, and consistent travel speed.
The Universal Bug-O-Matic with Auto Height Control (models BUG-6550, BUG-6552, and BUG-6554) offers the same functions as the Universal Bug-O-Matic, with the addition of amperage sensing automatic torch height adjustment to maintain a constant torch-to-work distance. This height control includes a motorized slide providing a total of 2 inches (51 mm) of vertical travel.
PENDANT CONTROL
The Universal Bug-O-Matic features a remote control pendant that allows the operator to run the machine from up to 10 feet (3 meters) away. For convenience, the pendant can be clamped to the machine handle for easy storage and transport.
New Feature: All Universal Bug-O-Matics now include a Control Orientation Reversing switch. This allows the pendant controls to be set to match the machine orientation. For example, this feature is beneficial when two machines are running on one ring, welding a joint on a horizontal pipe.
