999323 - ESAB 1/16" Aluminum Drive Roll Kit U-Groove

Reliable Wire Feeding for Industrial Aluminum Applications

In the realm of industrial fabrication, equipment downtime caused by wire feeding issues can significantly impact production schedules and profitability. The ESAB 999323 Feed Roll Kit is a critical component designed to ensure the smooth and continuous operation of your ESAB wire feeding systems. Engineered specifically for use with 1/16-inch (1.6mm) welding wire, this kit features a precision-machined U-Groove profile. Unlike V-groove rolls which are designed for hard steel wires, the U-groove cradles soft aluminum wire, providing the necessary traction to push the wire through the liner and gun without deforming its cross-section or shaving the surface.

The integrity of the wire surface is paramount in aluminum welding; shavings from improper drive rolls can clog liners and contact tips, leading to erratic arcs and burn-backs. This ESAB feed roll kit, with its 1-1/2 inch outer diameter, is manufactured to exact tolerances to fit compatible ESAB wire feeders perfectly. By using genuine OEM parts, facility managers and maintenance teams can ensure that their welding equipment operates within factory specifications, maintaining the high deposition rates and duty cycles required in heavy manufacturing, shipbuilding, and transport industries.

At Josef Gas, we understand that the correct configuration of your wire feeder is just as important as the power source itself. This kit represents a small investment that yields high returns in process stability. Whether you are setting up a new aluminum welding station or performing routine maintenance on existing feeders, the ESAB 999323 kit provides the reliability professional operations demand. It is constructed from durable, heat-treated materials to withstand the wear and tear of high-volume production environments, ensuring long service intervals and reduced maintenance costs.

Proper tensioning and roll selection are the first steps in achieving X-ray quality aluminum welds. Trust in genuine ESAB components to deliver the performance your clients expect. This kit is suitable for specific ESAB feeder models requiring 1-1/2" rolls; please verify compatibility with your equipment manual before installation.
