In most metal fabrication shops, traditional air carbon-arc gouging (ArcAir™) has proven to be a good process / tool to work with, in welding applications, but it has its own disadvantages compared to plasma-arc gouging.

AGT’s robotic plasma-arc gouging system uses a conventional plasma cutting system and has the following advantages, compared to air carbon-arc gouging system:

• Portable and flexible
• For many gouging applications
• Very quick setup
• Reduced noise and fume rates
• No risk of carbon inclusion
• No need for specialized labor
• Drastically reduced post-gouging cleanup time
• Extremely constant and high quality gouged grooves (joint preparation and/or back-gouging)
• Virtually unlimited control over torch angles and weave parameters
• Trouble-free operation
• Simple to adjust and easy to modify all process parameters
• Long lasting consumables
• Very simple to use.

Applications are diversified, such as:

• Back gouging
• Weld metal removal
• Overlay and hard facing removal
• Weld preparation
• Weld defects repairs
• Surface defects repairs
• Any classical known plasma application: standard plasma cutting, chamfering
