HK-6W & HK-6A Automated Oscillation Welding Carriage

HK-6 Series: What is an Automatic Welding Carriage?

Automated Oscillation Welding Carriage

A self-propelled, motorised device that travels along a magnetic track while carrying the welding torch — moving and oscillating it automatically to produce a uniform weld bead along long seams, eliminating the inconsistency of hand-fed travel.

The HK-6W & HK-6A Automated Oscillation Welding Carriage ensures uniform bead quality, higher productivity, and reduced operator dependency — making it the ideal upgrade from manual welding for tanks, pipes and large fabrications.

  • Consistent travel speed for uniform bead formation
  • Adjustable linear oscillation for bead width & penetration control
  • Magnetic flexible track — works on flat & curved surfaces
  • Reduces operator fatigue on long seam welds
  • Compatible with MIG / TIG / SAW processes
