Spreadarc™Oscillator
Automatic Welding Head Oscillator
The Spreadarc™is designed to oscillate an automatic
welding head for continuous welding at high duty cycles.
The Spreadarc™is compatible with the NA-3, NA-4, NA-5
and Power Feed™10A Lincoln®automatic welding heads
a
nd ideal for hardfacing applications.
T
he operator can set the oscillation travel speeds
and dwell times at either end of the stroke to provide
smoother bead edges through a digital control panel
on the front of the machine. Additionally, the jog mode
allows the operator to position the welding nozzle in
the correct starting location for a particular weld seam.
