Portable Cart
The shear, weld carriage, weld clamps, lower base,
and welding equipment are all stored on a fabricated
steel cart. This cart is portable and can be moved
from press to press.
Lower Base
Plate
The weld carriage and weld clamps are designed for
mounting onto the lower base plate. The lower base
plate is made from aluminum. This makes it light
weight so it can be easily moved from cart to press
and back again. The plate is Blanchard ground on
both the top and bottom side.
Electrical
Control
The electrical controls are all self-contained and
machine mounted, ready to operate. The operator has
access to a variable speed potentiometer, which is
used to change the welding speed. There is also a
simple one-button operation to initiate the weld
start. When the adjustable rear proximity switch
senses the torch has reached the back edge, it will
automatically shut the arc off.
Shear - Optional
A manually operated, alligator shear, designed to
cut the strip square. The upper and lower shear
blades are reversible for long wear. The shear
includes a manual stripper pad for clamping the
strip prior to shearing. To assure a belt is cut
properly, the shear will also include locating
pins to register the belt over.

Locating Pins
Locating pins are provided to locate the proper alignment
and fit up of the belt ends. The pins are manually
inserted and removed.
Weld Carriage
and Torch Assembly
A D.C. motor and variable speed drive accurately
controls the travel speed of the welding torch. A
threadless ball screw drives the torch. “V” groove
wheels and track guide the torch carriage on the
top and bottom. With this arrangement, the operator
can position the torch freely over the front edge
of the strip to be welded without the use of forward
and reverse buttons. The weld carriage assembly is
made of lightweight aluminum for operator ease of
moving the carriage from the cart to the press and
back again.
Weld Clamps
The entry and exit clamps are individual assemblies.
The clamp pads are made from copper. Each pad contains
two locating pins for proper alignment on the lower
base plate. Once the belt is in place, the clamps
are placed over the belt. Using hand knobs, the
clamps are then tightened to the base plate, clamping
the belt ends.
Weld Power
Supply - TIG
A 175-amp A.C./D.C. weld power source is supplied
to provide power for the TIG weld torch. The power
supply includes an adjustable dial to change the
weld current.
• Plasma welding equipment is optionally available.
• The Guild Belt Welder is CE compliant –Standard
