71022704 - Arcair N7500 Automated Gouging System with Titan Machine Mount

Precision Automated Gouging for Heavy Industry

The Arcair-Matic N7500 Gouging System represents the pinnacle of air carbon-arc gouging technology, designed specifically for the rigorous demands of heavy fabrication, shipbuilding, bridge construction, and pressure vessel manufacturing. This system takes the proven efficiency of the air carbon-arc process and elevates it through advanced automation, delivering metal removal rates that far exceed manual methods while maintaining superior groove consistency.

At the heart of the N7500 is its sophisticated digital control architecture. Unlike older analog systems, the N7500 utilizes digital voltage sensing to maintain a precise arc length and groove depth, regardless of minor variations in the work surface. This ensures that every run produces a uniform U-groove, essential for high-quality subsequent welding passes. The system is capable of handling jointed electrodes ranging from 5/16-inch to 3/4-inch in diameter, allowing it to tackle everything from minor defect removal to massive joint preparations.

Advanced Control and Usability

The included remote pendant puts total control in the operator's hands, allowing for adjustments to voltage, travel speed (when integrated with a carriage), and feed rate from a safe distance. The "Synergic" mode is a standout feature, simplifying setup by automatically adjusting parameters based on the electrode size selected. This reduces the learning curve and minimizes setup time between different jobs. The unit is designed to integrate seamlessly with travel carriages, such as the Titan machine carriage, transforming gouging into a fully mechanized track-mounted operation.

Reliability and Performance

Built to withstand the harsh environments of steel mills and shipyards, the N7500 features a ruggedized torch head and heavy-duty cable assemblies. With a rating of up to 1600 amps at 100% duty cycle, this system is a workhorse that does not quit. By automating the gouging process, facilities can significantly reduce the physical strain on operators, lower the risk of repetitive strain injuries, and keep personnel further away from the heat and fumes generated during heavy metal removal.

• High Efficiency: Removes metal 3 to 5 times faster than manual gouging.
• Consistency: Digital control ensures uniform groove depth and width.
• Versatility: Compatible with a wide range of DC power sources and travel carriages.
• Safety: Reduces operator fatigue and exposure to hazardous zones.
