0449271902 - ESAB A6SF Twin Submerged Arc Weld Head 156:1 Ratio

Advanced Submerged Arc Automation

The ESAB A6SF Twin Wire Weld Head (156:1 GMH) represents the pinnacle of modular automation for Submerged Arc Welding (SAW). Designed for heavy industrial applications, the A6 system is globally recognized for its reliability, robustness, and flexibility. This specific unit features a Twin Wire configuration, which feeds two wires simultaneously into a single weld pool. This technique drastically improves deposition rates and allows for higher travel speeds without compromising weld quality, making it an essential component for high-volume fabrication of beams, pressure vessels, and pipe mills.

The unit is equipped with a 156:1 gear ratio on the wire feed motor. This specific gearing is engineered to provide the optimal balance of speed and torque required for feeding twin wires, ensuring consistent feeding even with resistance in the conduit or torch. The "GMH" designation typically refers to the head's configuration regarding mounting slides or joint tracking compatibility, ensuring it integrates seamlessly with ESAB's range of column and booms (CaB) or gantries.

Engineered for continuous operation, the A6SF head includes heavy-duty wire straighteners and a precise drive roll system that minimizes wire slippage. Its modular nature allows maintenance teams to easily service components or swap gear sets if process requirements change. By utilizing the ESAB A6SF Twin Head, facilities can achieve superior weld geometry and mechanical properties while maximizing throughput in their automated welding cells.
