0413510004M-45 - ESAB A2 Bent Contact Tube 260mm 45-Degree

Precision Component for Automated Welding Systems

The ESAB Bent Contact Tube A2 260mm 45D (SKU: 0413510004M-45) is a critical component designed for high-performance automated welding applications. Engineered specifically for compatibility with ESAB A2 and A6 welding heads, this contact tube ensures reliable wire delivery and electrical transfer in demanding industrial environments. Whether utilized in Submerged Arc Welding (SAW) or heavy-duty MIG/MAG automation, this component plays a vital role in maintaining arc stability and weld quality.

With a total length of 260mm, this tube provides the necessary extension to reach into deep grooves or complex fixtures where standard straight tubes cannot operate effectively. The 45-degree bend is precision-engineered to direct the welding wire exactly where it is needed, allowing for superior joint penetration and bead profile control in fillet welds and other angled applications. This geometric advantage is essential for automated tractors and beam welding gantries where torch positioning is fixed relative to the workpiece.

Constructed from high-conductivity copper alloy, the tube minimizes electrical resistance, reducing heat buildup and ensuring consistent energy transfer to the welding wire. The internal bore is machined to tight tolerances to prevent wire snagging or feeding issues, which are critical factors in maintaining the continuous operation of automated lines. By choosing genuine ESAB consumables, operators ensure seamless integration with their existing equipment and prolonged system durability.
