Abstract: A rigid track assembly is adapted for mounting on the exterior of a pipe or similar workpiece for receiving mechanical apparatus such as a welding head and supporting that apparatus for controlled movement with respect to the circumference of the workpiece. A combination of roller devices and quick release latching means facilitates rapid positioning of the track assembly on the workpiece as well as easy removal following completion of welding or other operations.
