INTENDED / FORESEEN USAGE
The Gullco AutoWeld “KAT”
®
carriage is used throughout the world to automate and improve the
quality and efficiency of single or multiple “head” welding (or cutting) operations. Welding guns (or
cutting torches) are readily mounted on the “KAT”
®
carriage. Its track is positioned so that the
“KAT”
®
will move the gun (or torch) along the desired path, then securely held in place using
magnetic or vacuum activated mounting devices. With the use of Gullco's AutoWeld "KAT”
®
carriage, repetitive welding cycles may be performed, with precise motion of the welding gun from
start to finish, regardless of the number of passes or the work pieces involved. Detrimental factors
such as poor or awkward accessibility, operator fatigue, or inconsistent workmanship are
eliminated. Required quality levels are consistently attained and productivity and profitability
increased.
OPERATION
The electrical and mechanical installation of the AutoWeld “KAT”
®
is explained in the Technical
Manual.
Local Control Devices
The power On/Off switch is used to disconnect the power to the rest of the control circuitry.
I = On, O = Off.
WARNING! The motor control must not be continually
started and stopped by the removal and
reapplying of power to the control.
Turning the power off to the control will
not provide instant braking and continued
use will damage the control. Allow ten
(10) seconds after the removal of power
before reapplying the power to the motor
control.
The fuse holder allows accessibility to the main fuse by pushing the cap in towards the main body
and twisting in a counter-clockwise direction.
GSP Control Overview
The AutoWeld series of “KAT”
®
carriages use Gullco’s sophisticated “GSP-2100” microprocessor
motor controls.
Externally, this Gullco GSP control has switching for Forward/Neutral/Reverse, Run/Stop,
Manual/Auto & program variable increment/decrement, as well as a rotary encoder for speed
control.
Please refer to the supplemental manual (GD-075) “Technical Information For The Gullco “GSP-
2100” Micro-Processor Based, 24 Volt DC Motor Control” (the pages are numbered with a prefix of
“T-“), attached at the end of the Technical Manual, for additional, more comprehensive details than
those provided in the following overview.
