Features

TKSA Standard Duty Track and Carriage
TKSA standard duty side beam track is a very rigid structural section. Case-hardened tool steel roundaways are mounted to the tip and bottom of the track.

The carriage rides on the track with three sets of self-aligning bearing clusters. Weight capacity of the carriage is 300 lbs. at 12 in. from the mounting face.

Tracking accuracy of the carriage along the track will be ± 0.015 in. per 10 ft. length.
TKMV Medium Duty Track and Carriage
TKMV medium duty V-way side beam track is a very ridged rectangular steel structure. Flame hardened V-ways are mounted to the top and bottom of the track.

The carriage rides on the track using V-way wheels. Weight capacity of the carriage is 1,000 lbs. at 4 in. from the mounting face.

Tracking accuracy of the carriage along the track will be ± 0.015 in. per 10 ft. length.
TKHV Heavy Duty Track and Carriage
TKHV heavy duty V-way side beam track is a very rigid rectangular steel structure. Flame hardened V-ways are mounted to the top and bottom of the track. The carriage rides on the track using V-way wheels.

The carriage rides on the track using V-way wheels. Weight capacity of the carriage is 1,000 lbs. at 12 in. from the mounting face.

Tracking accuracy of the carriage along the track will be ± 0.015 in. per 10 ft. length.
TKL Positioning Track and Carriage
TKL flatway side beam track is fabricated from flat plate, which is reinforced using a structural channel section.

The carriage rides on the track with three anti-friction bearing assemblies. Weight capacity of the carriage is 300 lbs. at 12 in. from the mounting face.

Best used for positioning weld head assembly over a lathe, turning rolls or other fixturing equipment.
Multiple column support options
  • Fixed height mounting columns
  • Manual, adjustable height mounting columns
  • Powered, adjustable height mounting columns
Carriage options
  • Non-powered carriages. Best used for positioning weld head assembly over a lathe, turning rolls, or other fixturing equipment when the part is rotated under the carriage.
  • Powered Carriages are used for linear welding applications and are available in multiple speed ranges to meet the needs of your application. Can also be used for positioning non-powered carriages.
Multiple Control System Options
Jetline track and carriages are available with 9900 Series computer based or 9700 Series micro-processor based controllers to meet your application requirements.
3 Year Warranty
Jetline systems are covered by our three-year limited warranty.

Accessories

Jetline® 9900 Controller

Jetline controllers are available to support a variety of applications. Both controllers work with new systems and/or can be retrofit to upgrade and extend the life of existing systems.
Jetline® 9700T Controller

Jetline controllers are available to support a variety of applications. Both controllers work with new systems and/or can be retrofit to upgrade and extend the life of existing systems.
Jetline® Arc Length Control

Jetline Arc Length Control maintains a constant preset arc length by controlling arc length via control of the arc voltage in TIG (GTAW) or Plasma (PWA) welding applications.
Jetline® Cold Wire Feeder

Jetline cold wire feeder is primarily used for Automated gas tungsten arc welding (TIG) and plasma arc welding (PAW) to add "fill" to a weld joint. They can also be used in other applications where a controlled feed of wire is required.
