Weave Welding
Weave welding, a dynamic arc welding method, is a versatile technique essential in mechanized welding processes. This approach involves skillfully maneuvering the welding torch in a side-to-side motion, creating a distinctive weave pattern while joining metals.
At BUG-O Systems, we take pride in revolutionizing mechanized welding processes, offering cutting-edge solutions that redefine precision, efficiency, and versatility.

Heavy Duty Stand Alone Linear Weaver
The WPD-2500 is a self-contained machine used for weave welding. It can be installed as part of a welding fixture or mounted on a drive carriage running on a track. The H.D. Linear Weaver is particularly useful for weaving v-groove welds in a butt joint. The Weaver box is attached to the end of an adjustable rack, held by a rack holder that can be mounted on the front of the drive carriage or directly on the welding fixture.
- High torque, low inertia motor for precise starts and stops
- High motor gearing, which prevents the cross arm from moving when the unit is turned off
- Clutch, to enable rapid installation or replacement of the weaver cross arm
- Closed loop speed control for adjustable and repeatable control of critical welding or cutting parameters
- High-speed Linear Weaver for weaving, with independent control of right and left dwell times
- Closed loop position control to prevent drift from the center weld position
K-BUG 5050
The K-BUG 5050 is a compact unit designed for use with a torch support and positioner fixture or retrofit to a carriage. This is ideal for fillet or butt joints with flat or curved profiles. The remote pendant control digitally controls motion parameters, including weave speed, width, and dwell times. The pendant also offers center steering and interfaces with the welding power source to control the weld contact.
- Compact design for ease of use
- Independent control of dwell times from 0 – 10 seconds
- Control box equipped with a magnet
- High-speed motor for pendulum weaving
- Programmable puddle control and crater fill times
- Independent control of pendulum weaving right and left dwell times

Stand Alone CDS Linear Weaver
The CDS-6350 is a self-contained machine used for weave welding. It can be installed as part of a welding fixture or mounted on a drive carriage running on a track. It is particularly useful for weaving v-groove welds in a butt joint. The weaver box is attached to an adjustable rack. It can be held by a rack holder that can be mounted on the front of the drive carriage or directly on the welding fixture.
- High torque, low inertia motor for precise starts and stops
- Heavy-duty planetary gearbox with powerful output shaft
- Uniform linear motion with independent control of right and left dwell times
- Closed loop position control to prevent drift from the center position
- Closed loop speed control for adjustable and repeatable control of critical welding parameters
- Gun mounting group with adjustable linkage for accurate gun positioning
Stand Alone PENDULUM Weaver
The BUG-6350 is meant to be a self-contained machine used for weave welding. It can be installed as part of a welding fixture or mounted on a drive carriage running on a track. The Pendulum Weaver is particularly useful for weaving fillet welds in a corner joint. The weaver box is attached to an adjustable rack. It can be held by a rack holder that can be mounted on the front of the drive carriage or directly on the welding fixture.
- High torque, low inertia motor for precise starts and stops
- Uniform pendulum motion with independent control of right and left dwell times
- High motor gearing ratio that prevents the welding gun moving by backdriving the gear train when power is off
- Closed loop speed control for adjustable and repeatable control of critical welding parameters
- Heavy-duty planetary gearbox with powerful output shaft
- Closed loop position control to prevent drift from the center position

BENEFITS AND TECHNIQUES OF WEAVE WELDING SYSTEMS
Weave welding encompasses diverse types of welding techniques, including linear welding and pendulum welding:
- Linear Welding: This technique involves consistent movement along a straight path, facilitating precision and uniform welds in long seams or joints.
- Pendulum Welding: It enhances efficiency by covering larger surface areas employing a swinging motion. It is ideal for filling wide gaps or creating broader weld beads.
The application of mechanized welding techniques brings a variety of benefits:
- Improved Fusion: The weaving motion evenly distributes heat, ensuring robust fusion between the weld and base metal.
- Adaptive for Various Materials: These techniques are adaptable to various materials, such as steel, aluminum, and stainless steel, showcasing their versatility.
- Reduction in Imperfections: By moving slag to the surface, weave welding minimizes slag inclusions, enhancing the weld’s integrity and minimizing flaws.
- Visual Appeal: Weave patterns, such as whip stitch, C-weave, and J-weave, not only improve functionality but also contribute to visually appealing weld beads. This makes them desirable for decorative applications.
