If you have ever spent a shift back-gouging long seams on thick plate, you know it is one of the hottest, loudest, and most physically draining jobs in the shop. The Arcair N7500 Automatic Gouging System is designed to change that. This setup takes the torch out of your hand and puts it on a machine. SKU 71023140 comes complete with a Bug-O 110 VAC travel carriage (tractor), meaning you can set this beast on a track and let it do the heavy lifting for you. It is the ultimate solution for creating uniform U-grooves for weld prep or digging out defects with surgical precision.
The system is built to run jointed carbons from 5/16" all the way up to 3/4", giving you the versatility to tackle everything from medium plate to massive castings. Once you strike the arc, the N7500 takes over. It automatically feeds the electrode to keep the arc length perfect, so you don't have to worry about stubbing out or losing the arc. The Bug-O tractor drives the head along the seam at the exact speed you dial in. The result? A smooth, clean, consistent groove that looks like it was machined, requiring little to no grinding before you start welding the second side.
Control is right at your fingertips with the included remote pendant. You can adjust the travel speed and electrode feed without having to stand right on top of the sparks. This not only keeps you safer and cleaner but also allows you to monitor the process better. Because the machine doesn't get tired, you can run long continuous passes that would be impossible by hand, drastically speeding up production. Whether you are in a shipyard, building bridges, or manufacturing pressure vessels, the N7500 turns the toughest gouging jobs into a push-button operation.
Setup is straightforward for anyone familiar with Bug-O systems. Connect your heavy-duty power source (DCEP), hook up your compressed air (80-100 PSI), and plug the carriage into 110V power. The rugged design ensures it stands up to the harsh environment of heavy fabrication shops, resisting dust, grit, and heat.
