The Modular Drive System can be used for straight line cutting and welding. The Modular Drive System is capable form travelling from 2-120 ipm, has vertical load capacity of 60lbs, and a horizontal load capacity of 100 lbs. The straight-line module features a switch for travel functions and a digital readout of speed control along with a contactor switch. The MDS runs on any Bug-O rail when using the appropriate carriage.

The Modular Drive System with the Linear Weaver is commonly setup to weld bevelled butt joints or overlay surfaces and can be used in any position. It is capable of weave widths form 1/8 to 2” and weave speeds up to 100 ipm. The weaver control master drive unit. The Optional remote cable can be used to put the control module on the operator’s hands.

The Modular Drive System with the Pendulum Weaver is commonly used for fillet welds, horizontal and overhead welds. It is capable of weave widths from 1/8 to 2” and weave speeds up to 100 ipm. The Pendulum Weaver control module operates the pendulum weaver as well as the master drive unit. The optional remote cable can be used to put con troll module in the operator’s hands.


The Modular Drive System with the Programmable Stich Module is commonly used when stitch welds are required. The Programmable Stich Module is also popular in production areas where the same part is being welded repeatedly and consistent quality is required. Additionally, this module is capable of running two torches at the same time for even further increased productivity. The optional remote cable can be used to put the control module in the operator’s hands. Programming the stitch module is easy; the graphic screen prompts you to enter weld length, skip length, crater fill, travel delays, and the total number of welds to be made. This ensures the high-quality repeatable welds every time.

The Modular Drive Programmable Shape Machine is a portable, easy to use, dual axis machine. You can program the shape machine module to run any contour or pattern for welding and oxy-fuel or plasma cutting applications in any position. The supplied handheld pendant is used to program the required shape and operational sequence such as starts, stops, time delays, repeats, and rapid travel. Up to 20 programs can be stored in the shape machine’s module memory at any one time. The Bug-O shapes program provides for unlimited shape storage and easy shape editing on any pc. The Modular Drive System Programmable Shape Machine is compact and portable and can easily be carried anywhere.

The GO-FER IV is a portable, versatile, and robust tractor designed for many of your cutting and welding needs. When used for cutting, you can utilize either oxy-fuel or plasma torches. It can also carry a plasma torch for gouging. The GO-FER IV can be used in all positions. The system includes a rack & pinion drive, and the wheels are secured within the V groove in the sides of the rail. These features allow travel in any plane, even upside down.

When utilized for straight line cutting and bevelling with an oxy-fuel torch, this unit includes everything required except the torch itself. The torch holder will accept any standard 1-3/8” (35mm) diameter machine torch with a 32-pitch gear rack. The quick-action gas manifold mounted to the rear of the machine is used as a strain reliever for the torch hoses and gives the operator the ability to turn the gases on and off without having to readjust the gas flow of the torch. The Cable Anchor provides strain relief for the supply hoses and power cord.

The Universal Bug-O-Matic is a compact unit which combines a powerful drive and precision oscillator all I one housing. The unit is lightweight and can easily be handled by one operator. The machine works in all positions and can be used for vertical and overhead welds. By simply changing the carriage, the unit can work on rigid rail, semi-flex rail, hi-flex rail, or complete ring rails. The opening mechanism of the carriage allows the unit to be released or installed anywhere on the rail. 

While welding, adjustments can be made to the travel speed, amplitude, and oscillation speed as well as dwell left and dwell right. While the machine is welding, the torch can be guided by separate steering knob. Closed loop feedback and dynamic braking allow the Bug-O-Matic to make precise starts, stops and travel at a constant speed.

The UNI-BUG III will make continuous or intermittent stich welds. The machine will mount and run directly on the work piece. The unit is available in a variety of kits. Each kit is designed to fit on a specific steel profile such as flat bar, angle, channel, I-beams, and bulb flats (holland profiles).

The UNI-BUG III features stitch welding which is programmable by distance. If you require stitch welding, simply set the selector switch to the intermittent weld setting and program the length of weld required, the length of skip and also the required delay for puddle build and crater fill. Through the use of an integrated weld contactor the UNI-BUG III will activate and deactivate your wire feeder automatically.

The Stiffener Welder mechanizes two heavy duty wire feeders to weld “I”, “T”, and “Angle” stiffeners on one or both sides simultaneously. The standard machine can be set up for continuous or intermittent fillet welds on stiffeners with flange widths of 0 – 12” (0 – 300 mm) and heights 3” – 16” (75 mm – 400 mm). The stiffener welder rides on four large caster wheels which make it easy to move the unit. Four guide wheels steer the unit along the stiffener and two floating spring loaded arms with “V” rollers and spatter guards carry the welding torches and follow the joint (riding over tack welds). A heavy duty drive unit moves the stiffener welder along the work. The Stiffener Welder is available equipped with either the Lincoln Electric Flex Feed 84 or the Miller S-74 wire feeders.
