0449271901 - ESAB A6SF Twin Wire Submerged Arc Welding Head 156:1 with PAV Slides

High-Efficiency Automation with ESAB A6SF Twin Wire Head

The ESAB A6SF Twin Wire Weld Head (SKU: 0449271901) represents the pinnacle of heavy-duty Submerged Arc Welding (SAW) automation. Designed for industrial environments where throughput and reliability are non-negotiable, this weld head assembly is engineered to deliver exceptional deposition rates. The "Twin Wire" configuration allows for two wires to be fed simultaneously into a single molten pool, significantly increasing welding speed and productivity compared to single-wire setups. This makes it an indispensable asset for fabricators working on large vessels, bridge beams, and heavy machinery components.

At the core of this unit is the robust A6 feed unit, renowned for its durability and modularity. This specific model features a 156:1 gear ratio, providing the high torque necessary to feed wires consistently over long duty cycles without slippage or fluctuation. The inclusion of PAV manual slides ensures that operators can make precise vertical and horizontal adjustments to the torch position, guaranteeing optimal bead placement and penetration. The A6SF system is built to withstand the harsh conditions of heavy manufacturing, featuring dust-proof components and a rugged construction that ensures a long service life with minimal maintenance downtime.

Integrating the A6SF Twin Wire head into your automation setup allows for a seamless workflow. It is compatible with ESAB’s range of process controllers, such as the PEK, offering advanced control over welding parameters. Whether mounted on a column and boom, a tractor, or a custom gantry, the A6SF provides the stability and performance required for code-quality welds. By utilizing twin wire technology, users can achieve higher travel speeds and improved gap bridging capabilities, ultimately reducing total project hours and consumable waste.

Key Benefits for Industrial Fabrication:

• Increased Deposition: Twin wire setup maximizes metal lay-down rates.


• Precision Control: PAV slides allow for fine-tuning of torch alignment.


• Heavy-Duty Cycle: Rated for 100% duty cycle operation in demanding environments.


• Modular Compatibility: Fits seamlessly into existing ESAB A6 automation systems.
