OVERVIEW

Precision Automated Metal Removal

The Arcair A6 Gouging Attachment is a specialized component engineered for the rigorous demands of automated air carbon arc gouging. Designed to integrate seamlessly with Arcair's renowned automated systems, this attachment facilitates the rapid and precise removal of metal, making it an indispensable tool for heavy fabrication, shipbuilding, and pressure vessel manufacturing. By mechanizing the gouging process, the A6 attachment ensures consistent groove geometry, depth, and width, which are critical for high-quality weld preparation and defect removal.

Constructed with industrial-grade materials, the A6 attachment is built to withstand the high temperatures and harsh environments typical of heavy gouging operations. It effectively manages the high amperage currents required to melt base metals while directing a focused stream of compressed air to eject the molten material. This process results in a clean, bright U-groove that is often ready for welding with minimal secondary cleaning. The unit's design prioritizes durability and ease of maintenance, ensuring minimal downtime in continuous production settings.

For facilities looking to optimize their metal removal rates and improve operator safety by distancing them from the immediate arc zone, the Arcair A6 Gouging Attachment offers a reliable solution. It supports various electrode sizes and can be adjusted to suit different base materials and groove requirements. Whether used for back-gouging welds or removing surface defects, this attachment delivers the performance and reliability synonymous with the Arcair brand.

FAQ

It is designed for automated air carbon arc gouging, allowing for precise and consistent metal removal in heavy industrial applications.

It utilizes the air carbon arc gouging process, which melts metal with an electric arc and blows it away with a jet of compressed air.

The A6 designation typically refers to components for Arcair's automated gouging systems, rather than handheld manual torches.

Automated gouging offers superior consistency in groove depth and width, faster travel speeds, and reduced operator fatigue.

Yes, a supply of compressed air is essential for the air carbon arc process to effectively remove the molten metal.

Yes, air carbon arc gouging can be used on stainless steel, as well as carbon steel and other alloys, provided the correct electrodes and settings are used.

It uses jointed carbon gouging electrodes designed for automated systems.

This SKU refers to the attachment itself. A complete system would require a power source, control unit, and carriage/track.
