0318-0025 - Victor 492-03B Machine Torch Adjustable Slide Assembly

Precision Control for Automated Cutting Systems

The Victor 0318-0025 492-03B Adjustable Slide is a critical component designed for the rigorous demands of industrial oxy-fuel cutting applications. In the world of automated and semi-automated cutting, the precise positioning of the machine torch is paramount to achieving high-quality cuts, minimal kerf width, and reduced slag accumulation. This adjustable slide assembly provides the mechanical stability and fine-tuning capabilities necessary to maintain the optimal standoff distance and alignment relative to the workpiece.

Engineered with Victor's renowned attention to detail, the 492-03B model features a robust rack and pinion mechanism. This design allows operators to make smooth, incremental adjustments to the torch's position with ease, ensuring that the pre-heat flame and cutting oxygen stream are perfectly directed. The slide is constructed from high-grade materials that resist the thermal expansion and mechanical wear often encountered in heavy fabrication environments. Whether integrated into a track burner, a beam cutting machine, or a custom automated setup, this slide ensures that the torch remains rigid and vibration-free during operation.

Maintenance and reliability are key factors in production environments. The Victor 0318-0025 is built to minimize downtime. Its durable construction resists the accumulation of dust and spatter that can jam lesser mechanisms. By ensuring your machine torch is mounted on a high-quality slide like the 492-03B, you protect the integrity of your cutting process and extend the lifespan of your consumables by preventing accidental crashes or misalignment. This component represents the standard of excellence expected from Victor Technologies, a leader in gas equipment manufacturing.

Technical Application

This adjustable slide is specifically tailored for use with machine torches where vertical or horizontal adjustment is required relative to the mounting bracket. It serves as the interface between the machine carriage and the torch itself, providing the necessary degree of freedom for setup while locking firmly in place during the cut. It is an essential spare part for maintaining the functionality of older Victor cutting machines or for building custom cutting rigs.
