1. GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1. Application
The GECKO (HS) is a welding carriage designed to make continuous butt and fillet
welds. The carriage allows MIG/MAG torches and is clamped with permanent magnets.
Accessories allow using torches with a larger diameter and using two torches at
the same time. They also allow the carriage to move along outside edges, lap joints
and templates, walls that are low or have holes, and on ceilings, pipes, and tanks.
Using an optional flexible trackway set allows the carriage to move on a flexible
rail. You can clamp the rail to the surface by using magnetic units or by using vacu-
um units and a vacuum track system.
