Arc Runner Portable Programmable Welding Carriage
w/o Oscillator
The Steelmax® Arc Runner is a portable, programmable welding
carriage designed to produce consistent, high-quality welds. The
powerful magnetic base and closed loop electronic speed control
provide speed stabilization in all positions. The unit enables weld
bead geometry that is exact to the required specifications, substantially
reducing costly over welding and decreasing filler metal usage.

The Arc Runner can be programmed in continuous or stitch welding
modes. Two easy-to-use function buttons enable programming of weld
length, distance between welds, reverse fill, crater fill time and other
required patterns and parameters. The Arc Runner travels at full speed
between stitches, which saves valuable welding time.
An optional pendulum torch oscillator is available for the Arc Runner
to produce weave welds. The oscillator allows for precise control of
weave width, weave speed and left/right side wall dwell.

Arc Runner’s micro processor allows for development, storage and
reproduction of up to 40 different welding programs for various joint
configurations and multi-pass, multi-layer welds. Once an optimum
weld procedure is developed, stored and programmed, Arc Runner
will repeat it over and over again.
