JTS Automatic Joint Tracking System

JTS Automatic Joint Tracking System


The PROMOTECH JTS (Joint Tracking System) is a high-precision electromechanical automatic seam tracking system designed to continuously maintain the correct position of the welding torch relative to the weld joint during the welding process. The system automatically adjusts the torch position in both the vertical and horizontal axes, compensating for deviations in the weld joint in real time.

The JTS is compatible with GMAW (MIG/MAG), GTAW (TIG), FCAW, and SAW welding processes and can be installed on Column & Boom systems, gantry welding systems, and other specialized welding automation equipment. By continuously maintaining the correct torch position, the system significantly improves weld quality, minimizes welding defects, and reduces the need for post-weld machining and finishing operations.

Features and Benefits

  • Automatic weld joint tracking in two coordinate axes (horizontal and vertical).
  • Compatible with GMAW (MIG/MAG), GTAW (TIG), FCAW, and SAW welding processes.
  • Electromechanical design with precision linear guideways for smooth and accurate movement.
  • Real-time automatic compensation of welding torch position.
  • Standard carriage travel of 200 × 200 mm, with custom travel ranges available upon request.
  • Significantly reduces welding defects and minimizes post-weld grinding and finishing.
  • Optional operation with vertical-axis (Z-axis) tracking only, particularly suitable for butt welding applications.
  • Fully compatible with PROMOTECH welding oscillators for oscillation welding applications.
