K52006-0606 - MS40 6x6 Automated Welding Slide Package with Joystick Control

Complete Motorized Slide Solution for Hard Automation

The Lincoln Electric MS40 6 x 6 Motorized Slide System One-Pak© (K52006-0606) is a comprehensive package designed to streamline the integration of hard automation into industrial welding workflows. Engineered for precision and durability, this system is specifically tailored for Submerged Arc Welding (SAW), Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW), Flux-Cored Arc Welding (FCAW), and Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW). The One-Pak concept simplifies the procurement process by bundling the essential components required for a fully functional two-axis positioning system into a single order number.

At the core of this package is the K52013-0606 CS40 Cross Slide, which offers a travel range of 6 inches by 6 inches (152 x 152 mm). This robust slide mechanism is built to handle the weight and thermal stresses associated with heavy fabrication, ensuring consistent torch placement during long weld cycles. The system is driven by the K52025-1 MS Control Unit, a sophisticated interface that manages the motor operations with high reliability. Operators interface with the system using the K52024-1 MS Control Pendant, which features a 10-foot (3-meter) cable, allowing for safe and convenient adjustments from a distance.

Technical integration is a key strength of the MS40 system. It is designed to be universally compatible, capable of integrating seamlessly with virtually any welding power source, wire feeder, or system controller on the market. This flexibility makes it an ideal choice for retrofitting existing automation cells or building new custom welding rigs for applications such as pressure vessel fabrication, pipe welding, and beam manufacturing. The Manual Joint Positioning feature allows for rapid fine-tuning of the torch position in both horizontal and vertical axes, significantly reducing setup times for repetitive tasks.

Please note that while the One-Pak ensures all necessary components are provided, the package is shipped unassembled, allowing for custom mounting configurations suited to the specific spatial constraints of your facility.
