POPWELD Welding Carriage/cart
products description
Increase your production and reduce your welding costs with the POPWELD Welding Carriage. By providing constant, non-stop travel at a regulated speed, POPWELD Runner produces consistent high-quality welds in a fraction of the time required by hand welding. The regulated travel speed creates weld bead geometry which is exact to your specifications, reducing costly over welding and decreasing filler metal usage by as much as 60%. POPWELD Runner will produce quality welds faster and with less cost than hand welding. At just over 17 lbs (8 Kg), this compact, portable tractor can be carried anywhere.
The POPWELD Welding Carriage is available in two unique verisons; (i) the high speed version (up to 86 IPM) which can be used for cutting and welding applications; and (ii) the dual power version (battery powered with a line power adapter). The POPWELD Runner family of carriages offer a broad range of capabilities in one of the smallest fillet welders on the market today.

Most POP welding carriages
SELF-ALIGNING WHEELS: Self-aligning wheels means the carriage is mounted to the track correctly and easily every time. This ensures smooth carriage motion and maximizes the life of the track.
TORCH HOLDER MEMORY: The torch holder has been designed for quick and easy removal of the torch so that cleaning and accurate repositioning of the welding torch in the optimal position is simple and consistent.
PADDLE LOCKS: Quick installation paddle locks provide smooth transition of the self-aligning wheels onto the track.
MACHINE UNDERCARRIAGE: Lightweight design engineered for optimal setup times utilizing the self-aligning wheels and paddle lock technology.
SEMI RIDGID TRACK: Semi rigid track is made from precision extruded aluminum and a securely affixed steel rack. The interchangeable end design enables fast accurate joining of the track sections and provides smooth movement of the carriage along the track in both flat and curved surfaces. Flexibility to a minimum of 24 ft. (7315.2 mm) ID/OD.

Image of what a welding oscillator looks like
You use it so that the welding head can move back and forth or sideways, depending on the perspective you are in.
And to answer one of the most frequent questions asked, no, a welding carriage isn’t a welding oscillator. As a matter of fact, the two (2) can complement each other depending on your project or your welding requirement!
There are welding carriages that have welding oscillators for better and more useful operations!
