0334333881 - ESAB 120mm Motorized Torch Slide 42V Assembly

Precision Control for Automated Welding

The ESAB Motorized Slide 120mm 42V (0334333881) is a critical component designed for high-performance automated welding systems. In the realm of heavy fabrication, precision is paramount. Whether you are operating a Submerged Arc Welding (SAW) tractor or a MIG/MAG column and boom setup, the ability to accurately position the welding torch relative to the joint determines the quality of the final weld. This motorized slide provides a robust solution for remote torch adjustment, offering a stroke length of 120mm which is ideal for fine-tuning contact tip-to-work distance (CTWD) or horizontal seam alignment.

Engineered by ESAB, a global leader in welding technology, this slide is built to withstand the rigorous demands of industrial environments. The unit operates on a 42V DC system, a standard safety voltage in welding automation that ensures compatibility with a wide range of ESAB control boxes, such as the PEK or A2-A6 process controllers. The motor is designed to deliver consistent torque, ensuring smooth linear motion without stuttering, which is essential for maintaining a stable arc and uniform bead profile.

Integration and Durability

This motorized slide is frequently utilized as part of a cross-slide assembly. By combining two units, operators can achieve full X-Y axis control, allowing for real-time adjustments during the welding process. This is particularly useful in applications involving slight joint irregularities or thermal distortion, where the torch position must be corrected on the fly. The mechanical components are housed in a durable casing that protects the drive screw and guides from welding spatter, dust, and metallic fines, significantly extending the operational life of the unit.

At Josef Gas, we understand that downtime in automated lines is costly. Replacing worn or malfunctioning slides with genuine OEM parts like the ESAB 0334333881 ensures that your equipment returns to factory specifications immediately. This slide is not just a spare part; it is an investment in the continuous, high-quality output of your automated welding operations.
