0334291888 - ESAB A6 Twin Wire Conversion Kit for Submerged Arc Welding

Technical Overview

The ESAB A6 Conversion Kit Twin LD (SKU: 0334291888) is a specialized mechanical assembly designed to modify standard ESAB A6 Submerged Arc Welding (SAW) heads. This kit facilitates the transition from a single electrode feed to a twin electrode configuration, leveraging the modular architecture of the A6 system. By feeding two wires simultaneously into a single molten pool, the system achieves higher current density and improved thermal efficiency.

The kit includes the necessary wire guide mechanisms, contact equipment mounting blocks, and hardware required to adapt the feed unit. It is engineered to maintain the precision and reliability associated with the A6 Mastertrac and A6 stationary heads. The Twin LD configuration is particularly effective for applications requiring high deposition rates without the complexity of tandem arc systems. It supports various wire diameters typically used in twin SAW applications, ensuring versatility across different joint geometries.

Installation involves replacing the standard single-wire straightener and contact jaw assembly with the twin components provided in the kit. This modification allows for higher travel speeds and better bead wetting, which is critical for structural steel, shipbuilding, and pressure vessel fabrication. The components are manufactured from high-grade materials to withstand the thermal and mechanical stresses inherent in heavy-duty submerged arc welding.
