C - DESCRIPTION
1 - DEFINITION
This autonomous crossedslides PROXI-WELDY, equipped with proximity sensors, can be mounted on
WELDYCAR which is able to support one MIG/MAG torch. This option is used for the automatic joint tracking
through the 2 electrical slides.
The WELDYCAR,equipped with the crossed slides, keeps the same technicalcharacteristics.The
electrical supplyofthe PROXI-WELDY is done by the 14Vplug on the WELDYCAR.
On a basic WELDYCAR, the joint tracking is made by manual slides. Now, with this option, it’s possible to
track the joint in automatic on steelor aluminiumpiece, thanks to proximity sensors.
The PROXI-WELDY can be used as a simple crossed electricalslide when the proximitysensors are not
easy to be adjusted.
