0370250000 - ESAB CD-5 2.5 Ton Welding Turning Roll Drive Unit

Heavy-Duty ESAB CD-5 Roller Bed Drive Unit

The ESAB CD-5 Roller Bed Drive Unit is a premier solution for shops looking to automate and improve the efficiency of their circumferential welding operations. Designed with a robust 2.5 Ton capacity, this drive unit is engineered to rotate heavy cylindrical workpieces such as pipes, pressure vessels, and tanks with precision and stability. By maintaining a constant rotation speed, the CD-5 allows welders to deposit consistent weld beads without the stop-and-start interruptions associated with manual positioning.

This unit features high-quality polyurethane wheels which offer superior traction to drive the workpiece while protecting the surface from marring or contamination—a critical feature when working with stainless steel or other sensitive alloys. The wheel spacing is adjustable, making the CD-5 versatile enough to handle a broad range of diameters, from smaller piping to larger industrial vessels. The heavy-duty steel chassis is built to withstand the rigors of daily industrial use, ensuring that this investment serves your production line for years to come.

Control is paramount in automated welding, and the ESAB CD-5 delivers with a user-friendly remote control pendant. This allows the operator to adjust rotation speed and direction from a safe and convenient distance, ensuring optimal arc control and puddle management. Whether you are performing MIG, TIG, or Submerged Arc Welding (SAW), the consistent rotation provided by this drive unit is essential for achieving X-ray quality welds and maximizing deposition rates.

Key Benefits for Fabrication Shops:

• Enhanced Productivity: Continuous rotation reduces downtime and speeds up the welding process.
• Improved Weld Quality: Consistent speed leads to uniform bead appearance and penetration.
• Versatility: Adjustable settings accommodate various workpiece sizes and weights up to 2.5 tons.
• Durability: Industrial-grade components and construction minimize maintenance requirements.

Invest in the ESAB CD-5 Roller Bed Drive Unit to streamline your fabrication workflow and deliver superior results on every cylindrical project.
