0413510004M-30 - ESAB A2 Bent Contact Tube 260mm 30-Degree

Precision Component for Automated Welding Systems

The ESAB 0413510004M-30 Bent Contact Tube is a specialized component engineered for the ESAB A2 series of automatic welding heads. In the realm of mechanized welding, particularly Submerged Arc Welding (SAW) and Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW), the precision of wire delivery and the stability of electrical contact are paramount. This contact tube is designed to meet those rigorous demands, featuring a specific 30-degree bend and a total length of 260mm. These dimensions are critical for applications where standard straight tubes cannot provide the necessary angle of approach or clearance.

Manufactured from high-grade copper alloy, the tube offers excellent thermal and electrical conductivity, ensuring efficient current transfer from the power source to the welding wire. This minimizes voltage drop and heat buildup at the contact point, which is essential for maintaining consistent weld quality over long, continuous duty cycles typical of automation. The internal bore is machined to tight tolerances to guide the wire smoothly, reducing drag and preventing feed interruptions that could lead to costly defects or downtime.

The 30-degree bend is particularly advantageous for welding in confined spaces or when a specific torch angle is required to achieve proper sidewall fusion in deep grooves. By extending the reach of the welding head, this component enhances the versatility of the A2 system, allowing operators to adapt their equipment to a wider range of structural geometries. Whether used in shipbuilding, pipe mills, or heavy fabrication, this genuine ESAB part ensures compatibility and performance reliability.

Integration with the A2 system is seamless, as the tube is designed to fit standard mounting configurations on the welding head. Regular inspection and replacement of contact tubes are recommended to maintain optimal process parameters, as wear in the bore can lead to arc instability. This product represents a critical consumable for maintaining the high efficiency expected of ESAB automation solutions.
