ADB-4927 - Go-Fer Welding Conversion Kit and Torch Holder

Expand Your Go-Fer Capabilities

The Welding Support Kit (ADB-4927) is an essential accessory designed specifically for the ADB-7179 Go-Fer Kit. While the Go-Fer is widely recognized for its precision in oxy-fuel and plasma cutting applications, this support kit transforms the carriage into a versatile mechanized welding tool. By attaching this kit, operators can mount a variety of welding guns—including MIG and Flux-Cored torches—directly to the tractor unit.

Mechanized welding offers distinct advantages over manual application, primarily in the consistency of travel speed and torch positioning. This kit provides the necessary hardware to hold the torch steady at the optimal angle and distance from the workpiece. The included racking system allows for fine-tuned adjustments in both vertical and horizontal axes, ensuring the arc remains stable even over long weld seams. This is particularly useful for long structural welds, tank fabrication, and shipbuilding applications where operator fatigue can lead to inconsistencies.

Installation is straightforward, utilizing the existing mounting points on the Go-Fer carriage. The robust construction of the rack arm and clamp ensures that the torch remains rigid during operation, minimizing vibration and weave. Whether you are looking to automate a simple fillet weld or require precise control for multi-pass butt welds, this Welding Support Kit unlocks the full potential of your Go-Fer system.

Key Benefits

• Versatility: Switches your equipment from cutting to welding in minutes.
• Precision: Rack and pinion adjustments allow for exact torch placement.
• Quality: Promotes uniform bead appearance and penetration by maintaining constant speed.
