  • Page 3: General Information

    LIZARD 1. GENERAL INFORMATION 1.1. Application The LIZARD is a welding carriage designed to make butt and fillet welds that are continuous or stitch. The carriage allows MIG/MAG torches and is clamped with permanent magnets. Accessories allow welding with oscillation, using torches with a larger diameter, and using two torches at the same time.

    LIZARD 3.2. Connecting to the welding circuits Before connecting, read the operator's manual of the welding device and make sure that it provides such an option. Connect the arc ignition cable only to the arc ignition control contacts in the welding device remote control socket. Make sure that the welding cycle control of the welding device is set to 2-stroke.
  • Page 13 LIZARD The carriage can control two torches by using the arc ignition cable plugged into the arc ignition socket. To do this, refer to the diagram from fig. 4 and connect one blue- jacketed wire to one terminal of the welding circuit. Then, connect the other blue- jacketed wire to the other terminal of the same circuit.

  • Page 14: Positioning At The Work Area

    LIZARD 3.3. Positioning at the work area Put the guide arms so that the carriage is in constant contact with the workpiece. You can set them by a constant step (interval adjustment), or continuously after you swap them (continuous adjustment). To set them correctly when the carriage moves to the left, use the 4 mm hex wrench to loosen the screws that secure the right guide arm.
