15-2190 - ESAB 8-Inch Linear Torch Slide Assembly - Non-Motorized

Precision Automation Components for Industrial Welding

The ESAB 8 Slide Without Motor (SKU: 15-2190) is a critical mechanical component designed for the rigorous demands of automated welding environments. In the realm of industrial fabrication, precision is paramount. Automated systems rely on the accurate positioning of the welding torch relative to the workpiece to ensure consistent bead profile, penetration, and overall weld quality. This linear slide assembly serves as the backbone for such positioning systems, providing a stable and smooth axis of movement.

Engineered by ESAB, a leader in welding technology, this slide unit features an 8-inch travel capacity. This range of motion is ideal for fine-tuning the vertical or horizontal placement of the torch head, allowing operators to adapt to varying part geometries and fixture setups. As a "Without Motor" unit, this product is specifically the mechanical slide assembly. It is intended for scenarios where the existing motor is still functional and only the mechanical track needs replacement, or for custom integrations where a specific third-party motor is preferred.

The construction of the 15-2190 slide emphasizes durability and rigidity. In automated welding, vibration and play in the mechanical system can lead to wandering arcs and defects. ESAB has designed this slide to maintain tight tolerances under load, ensuring that the torch remains exactly where programmed. Whether used in TIG, MIG, or Plasma applications, the stability provided by this slide contributes directly to process repeatability and efficiency.

Maintenance personnel and automation engineers will appreciate the straightforward design, which facilitates easier installation and alignment. By replacing worn or damaged slides with genuine ESAB parts, facilities can restore their automated cells to original factory specifications, minimizing downtime and maintaining high production standards. This component is compatible with specific ESAB and Thermal Dynamics automation lines, ensuring a perfect fit and reliable performance.
