GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Gullco “KAT II” variable speed travel carriage
is the major component of an automated torch
cutting system designed to improve cutting quality
and to reduce the cost of cutting operations.
Safety is greatly enhanced by the use of Gullco’s
low voltage (24 VDC), highly advanced
control/power supply system that is available in
three line voltage inputs...42, 115, and 230 VAC,
single phase, 50/60 Hz. The motor and control
are protected by slow-blow fuses.
The carriage consists of a 24 VDC permanent
magnet gear motor which engages the track
through a set of spur gears. A drive engagement
lever with its “Push to Turn” label is located on
the side of the carriage. This feature also permits free-wheeling of the carriage for rapid
positioning. The carriage is designed to run only on rigid, straight Kat track.
INSTALLATION
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

WARNING: Before connecting the “KAT II” carriage to a power source (receptacle, outlet etc.) be
sure that the voltage supplied is the same as that specified on the nameplate of the
carriage. If in doubt, DO NOT PLUG IN THE “KAT II” CARRIAGE. Copies of the
