TYPICAL GULLCO GANTRY/BRIDGESYSTEM DESIGN

WELDINGWELDINGThis diagram shows a typical welding Gantry/Bridge unit design. The long tracks are locatedunderneath the table providing protection. This also allows the workpiece to be easily loaded atany point on the table as it is clear and easily accessible. The bridge unit can be equipped toautomatically position and clamp the parts to be welded. It can also be supplied with mechanical,electronic or laser seam tracking equipment.Gullco can custom design a Gantry/Bridge system tomeet your specific requirements.
