The Fume Tracker™ Capture Arm better protects operators by automatically detecting a welding arc and instantly repositioning the capture arm to the fume source.
Dramatically improve your productivity with the Fume Tracker configured as a stand-alone extraction arm, or mouted to our popular FRED JR-T or FRED 01-T portable fume extractors. Operators are able to eliminate time spent repositioning the hood and focus more on the task at hand.
The tracking arm excels in spot weld and continuous welding applications where the hood can reposition itself without interference from the welding jig or work piece. The Fume Tracker™ can only follow the welding arc if the light source remains within the 40" tracking window under the hood. If the welder leaves the detection zone, the arm can easily and safely be repositioned back into the tracking window as all gears are outfitted with slip clutches.
