0154465881 - ESAB A6 Linear Slide 210mm Stroke

Precision Linear Motion for ESAB A6 Systems

The ESAB A6 Slide with 210mm Travel (SKU: 0154465881) is a critical mechanical component designed for the renowned ESAB A6 series of automatic welding heads. In the realm of industrial automation, particularly Submerged Arc Welding (SAW) and heavy-duty MIG/MAG applications, the ability to position the welding torch with high precision is paramount. This slide provides a substantial 210mm stroke, allowing for significant vertical or horizontal adjustment ranges depending on the mounting configuration.

Engineered to withstand the harsh environments typical of heavy fabrication, the slide features a robust construction that resists the ingress of dust, flux, and spatter. Its internal mechanism is designed to deliver smooth, non-binding travel, ensuring that automated adjustments—whether controlled by a seam tracking system or manual operator input—are executed instantaneously and accurately. This component is integral to maintaining the correct contact tip-to-work distance (CTWD) and arc positioning, which directly influences weld penetration and bead profile.

For integrators and maintenance engineers, this genuine ESAB part ensures seamless compatibility with existing A6 mounting interfaces. It eliminates the need for retrofitting or modification, preserving the integrity of the original automation setup. Whether used as a vertical slide for head height control or a horizontal slide for cross-seam adjustment, this 210mm travel unit offers the reliability required for continuous, high-duty-cycle production environments.
