SECTION 9:
ARCAIR TITAN MACHINE CARRIAGE
GENERAL
The Titan Machine Carriage is portable, rugged, and heavy duty. It is for low - maintenance and
high straight-line work. Light carriage weight and easier-to-handle track permit fast, simple
setup. The rugged mounting platform carries up to 300 pounds of equipment for automated
air carbon-arc gouging, GMAW, FCAW, submerged arc welding, and flame cutting operations.
DRIVE
The carriage is driven by a permanent magnet D.C. motor powered by an electronic speed
control. It has a speed range: 6-80 i.p.m. (15.2-203.2 cm/min.). A manually operated clutch
permits drive disengagement for free wheeling and manual positioning of the Carriage. The
wheels are made of neoprene and rest on the workpiece. Two slotted guide blocks on the
carriage keep it on track. Metal brushes mounted in the front of the Carriage sweep away hot
metal particles. They protect the wheels.
The track is a single “T” bar and comes in 10 ft. (3.05 m) lengths. One end has a protruding
pin, and the other end has a female slot into which the male portion of the next section fits. A
Pointer Assembly aligns the track so that the torch can be easily and quickly positioned over
the joint.
POWER
The Titan Machine Carriage is for either 120VAC, 60Hz. or 220VAC, 50Hz. line voltage. Specify
when ordering. A power cord attached from the side of the Carriage supplies power.
A double accessory auxiliary outlet on the side of the control panel provides line voltage for
auxiliary equipment.
CONTROL PANEL
The controls do these things:
1. POWER ON/OFF switch turns the carriage on and off.
2. REV/OFF/FWD switch determines the direction of carriage travel with OFF in the center
position.
3. SPEED FAST/SLOW controls the travel speed of the carriage. The variable speed
control is not a finite setting. The carriage’s speed is established by turning the knob
in both directions.
The Control Panel can be removed from the carriage allowing easy operator control of the
carriage.
