The Bug-O Zipper Welder is designed to weld vertical seams on field storage tanks. The system is composed of two standard components: box rail assembly with carriage and the Modular Drive tractor. The box rail assembly with carriage hangs over the top lip of the course section. It can be rolled into position and is held there by powerful on/off magnets. There are box rails available for 8’ seams and 10’ seams. The Zipper Welder utilizes the Modular Drive tractor and offers systems setup with a pendulum or linear weavers. There is also an optional Automatic Torch Height Control System available for each unit.
