OVERVIEW

Technical Overview

The ESAB (Thermal Arc) W7005385 is a specific structural replacement component designed for the Fabricator 252i multi-process welding power source. This item is the rear panel assembly intended for the US specification model. It functions as the back enclosure of the machine's chassis, providing essential protection for internal electronics and serving as the mounting interface for the rear cooling fan and shielding gas connections.

Manufactured to original equipment specifications, this panel ensures correct alignment with the main cover and base assembly. It includes all necessary factory-stamped cutouts for the input power cord strain relief, gas solenoid inlet, and fan exhaust, ensuring that airflow dynamics within the machine are maintained according to the original engineering design. The panel is fabricated from heavy-gauge sheet metal and finished with a durable coating to resist corrosion and match the aesthetic of the Fabricator series.

Technicians repairing a 252i with rear impact damage or thread wear on mounting points should use this OEM part to ensure the machine retains its NEMA/IP rating integrity and structural rigidity. Installation requires the removal of the machine's outer cover and transfer of rear-mounted components such as the fan assembly and gas fittings.
