What is a BUG-O System?

The Concept

BUG-O Systems, a Division of Weld Tooling Corporation, founded in 1948, is a manufacturer of a system of drives, carriages, rails and attachments designed to automate welding guns, cutting torches and other hand held tools.

The Features

BUG-O Systems equipment is an inexpensive, modular building block family of portable machines, which provide precise path and constant speed control in any plane or position.

The Benefits

Ingenious users solve fabricating problems with standard, interchangeable components at a fraction of the cost of custom designed machines or robots.
