Automatic Welding Tractors

Our automatic welding tractor will automate much of your sub arc welding processes, helping to reduce operator fatigue while significantly improving the quality of weld – repeatedly!

With an automatic welding tractor, operators will be able to set all weld parameters, including arc length and travel speed, enabling faster welds without compromising quality. With an integrated flux collection unit, there’s the added advantage of achieving cleaner welds consistently, while simultaneously reducing rejects, reworks and expenditure.

Increased Control of Your Welding Processes

An automatic welding tractor offers your welders far more control throughout the welding process. With pre-programmable parameters set independently, many sub arc welding processes can be automated, reducing the need for operators to perform consistent quality welds.

In any process requiring repeated welds using the same parameters, our automatic welding tractor will be just the solution required to lower operational costs and increase efficiency.

Take the welding out of your welder’s hands and let skilled operators set the parameters for the automation of weld processes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Your Questions, Answered

What is a welding tractor?

A welding tractor is an automated mechanised welding system that carries out welding operations along a predetermined path without the need for manual intervention by the welder. Travel speed, equipment wheels or tracks can be controlled remotely, enabling an increased output to optimise your welding processes.

What are the benefits of buying an automatic welding tractor?

The advantages of a portable welding tractor are numerous. These can be used on-site, off-site or transferred between work areas easily, making them a tactile investment in your business.

Welding tractors allow for an increase in weld uniformity and consistency, ensuring precise and uniform welds and reducing the risk of defects and rework.

When one weld job is finished, the welding tractor can easily be moved to another area of the workshop, set up with different parameters to complete another run of proficient welds and for various stages in the welding process.

What industries are automatic welding tractors used in?

Suitable use cases for the Time OP welding tractor vary across shipbuilding, pipeline construction, manufacturing, railway construction and structural steel fabrication.

Welding tractors offer a valuable solution for heavy-duty welding processes, making the machine and any accessories crucial tools for producing high-quality welds and enhanced productivity.
