OVERVIEW

Precision Automated Metal Removal

The Arcair N7500 Gouging System with Gullco 110 VAC Travel Carriage represents the pinnacle of automated air carbon arc gouging (CAC-A) technology. Designed for heavy industrial applications where speed, consistency, and groove quality are paramount, this system integrates Arcair's legendary gouging performance with the precision mobility of a Gullco travel tractor. By automating the gouging process, fabricators can achieve metal removal rates up to five times faster than manual methods while maintaining near-perfect groove geometry.

At the heart of the system is the N7500 controller, which utilizes digital arc voltage sensing to maintain a constant distance between the electrode and the workpiece. This ensures a uniform groove depth and width, regardless of slight variations in the work surface. The included Gullco travel carriage (running on standard 110 VAC power) provides smooth, regulated travel speeds, eliminating the starts, stops, and inconsistencies associated with manual operation. This combination is ideal for back-gouging long seams on pressure vessels, ship hulls, and heavy structural steel.

Key System Benefits

  • Enhanced Productivity: Automating the process allows for continuous operation and higher amperage utilization, drastically reducing production time.
  • Superior Quality: The mechanical precision of the Gullco tractor combined with digital arc control results in U-grooves that require minimal secondary grinding or cleanup.
  • Operator Safety: The remote pendant allows the operator to control the process from a safe distance, reducing exposure to noise, fumes, and heat.
  • Versatility: Capable of handling a wide range of jointed electrode sizes (5/16" to 3/4"), making it suitable for various material thicknesses and groove requirements.

This complete package includes the torch head, controller, remote pendant, and the industry-standard Gullco carriage, providing a turnkey solution for shops looking to upgrade their metal removal capabilities. Whether for defect removal, weld preparation, or dismantling, the N7500 system delivers reliability and performance in the most demanding environments.

FAQ

The N7500 system itself (controller and tractor) requires 110 VAC. However, for the gouging arc, you need a heavy-duty DC welding power source capable of high amperage (often 600A to 1600A) and a compressed air supply.

The Arcair N7500 is designed to handle jointed copper-clad carbon electrodes ranging from 5/16 inch (7.9 mm) to 3/4 inch (19.1 mm) in diameter.

Typically, the system includes the Gullco travel carriage (tractor). Rigid or flexible track sections are usually sold separately depending on the length and curvature required for your specific application.

Automated gouging provides consistent groove depth and width, faster travel speeds, reduced operator fatigue, and lower consumption of filler metal due to more precise groove geometry.

Yes, with the appropriate track mounting (such as magnets or vacuum mounts) for the Gullco carriage, the system can be used in various positions, including vertical, provided the setup is secure.

The remote pendant allows the operator to adjust parameters like arc voltage and travel start/stop from a distance, keeping them away from the immediate heat, sparks, and noise of the gouging arc.

This specific SKU (71023144) is configured with a Gullco travel carriage that operates on 110 VAC.

The system controls the air solenoid to turn air on and off, but the supply pressure (typically 80-100 PSI) must be regulated at the source or compressor.
