Dual Bug

Dual-Torch Automated Welding Carriage

 

Boost productivity on straight or circumferential seams with our Dual Torch Bug. This compact motorized system steers both torches vertically and horizontally—so every bead lands exactly where it should. Compared to the Single Torch Bug, the Dual Torch Bug delivers a significantly higher deposition rate, allowing welds to be completed faster while maintaining consistent precision and quality.
