ABI-CAR Welding Tractors
Easy. Efficient. Hard Automation.
ABI-CAR welding tractors close the gap between hand welding and flexible automation. These economic welding tractors are an ideal entry-level solution into mechanized automation. ABI-CAR quickly and effectively welds longitudinal and circumferential seams in horizontal or vertical positions.
ABI-CAR is easily customized to fit individual requirements with a wide range of cross supports and clamping accessories available. All components are built in a modular system for fast, easy installation and increased welding productivity.
ABI-CAR Features & Benefits:
- Compactly built: Small footprint compared to other welding tractors with more durable cross-slides
- Easy integration: Easy connection to all commercially available hand welder sets
- Great seam quality: High-quality welding results on long parts in a horizontal or vertical position
- Increased productivity: Consistently high, uninterrupted welding speed
- Simple handling: Simple and safe handling for operators
