BUG-O ALL TIME GIRTH WELDER Bug-o Systems offers the Automatic Girth Welder for tank fabrication applications. Unlike current girth welders on the market, the BGW Series
comes standard with a Dual Drive System. This self-propelled submerged arc welding system can reduce field storage tank welding time up to 40%. Weld defects are greatly reduced saving tank erection costs. The Girth Welder is applicable for bottom-up or jack-up constructed single or double wall storage tanks inside and outside welding. There are four standard units, however our design allows us to offer custom built units for non-standard applications.
Dual Drive Bug-o All Time exclusive dual AC motor design,
allows for constant travel across the entire tank circumference. When fit up is not quite perfect or there is an uneven surface for the machine to travel, the dual motors will power the machine across the imperfection. This design can reduce the amount of time required to repair weld defects, and can decrease the overall tank erection costs. The dual motors are controlled by one easily programmable frequency inverter.
Heavy Duty Flux Recovery System with Flux Lifting Winch
The BGW-Series offers a flux recovery system that can hold
130lbs (60 kg) of flux for use on long plate. The BGW also
offers the convenience of a Flux Lifting Winch for easy refilling of the main flux hopper. The winch can lift 350lb (159 kg) of flux up to 100 feet (30.5 m) off the ground.
Rotating Flux Dam and Welding Head The adjustable rotating flux dam holds the flux in the weld joint and conveyors the flux to the heavy duty flux recovery vacuum. The flux dam can be adjusted both vertically and horizontally for easy positioning of the flux belt. The welding head has a fine adjustment vertical and horizontal cross slides that gives 4'' x 6'' (102 x 152 mm) of adjustment. A laser pointer mounted on the welding head permits for simple positioning of the welding wire.
Lincoln Welding Equipment and Power Source Storage The BGW series comes complete with SAW equipment by Lincoln Electric. The DC-600 with NA-3 controls and NA-3 feeders come standard on all models. Optional power sources and feeder combination are available. The power source is stored in a weather proof container for protection. A single power input supplies electrical power to all the components of the system. The complete BGW series comes complete with 200' (61 m) of control cable and welding leads with a guide on the machine itself to keep the cable away from the plate.
Environmental Features
A series of fireproof and weather tight canvas
covers provide protection for the operator. All
models also include interior lighting and a spot light
for the Flux Belt. Under the seat is the convenience
of a storage area for wire spools, tools, or whatever
the operator may need.
