The Piper Bug pipe welding system from Bug-O Systems is a digitally controlled programmable welding travel carriage integrated with Lincoln Electric® Invertec V350-PRO power source.
The Piper Bug features a positive rack and pinion drive system and a
digital control box in which all welding parameters can be programmed
for multi-pass, multi-layer welds on process piping and cross country
pipe lines. The Piper Bug will increase productivity and weld quality
while reducing costs.
Pipe welding requires a high level of welder skill and training, and as
it becomes more difficult to find skilled pipe welders, mechanized
welding is increasingly being used. Less welder skill and physical
effort is required using mechanized welding. Handheld wire welding
results in a typical operating factor (or percent arc-on time) of
40-50%, mechanizing increases the operating factor to 70% or higher.
