0334333887 - ESAB 730mm Motorized Linear Slide 24V for Welding Automation

Precision Movement for Automated Welding

The ESAB Motorized Slide 730mm 24V (SKU: 0334333887) is a high-performance component designed to bring accuracy and reliability to your automated welding operations. In the world of industrial fabrication, the precise positioning of the welding torch relative to the workpiece is paramount for achieving defect-free welds. This motorized slide acts as the muscle behind that precision, allowing for smooth, controlled linear movement of the welding head. Whether you are operating a column and boom manipulator, a gantry system, or a tractor-based welding carriage, this slide ensures that your torch remains exactly where it needs to be throughout the welding cycle.

Engineered by ESAB, a global leader in welding technology, this slide features a robust 730mm length, providing a generous range of motion for adjusting to various workpiece geometries and sizes. The integrated 24V DC motor is optimized for industrial control systems, offering high torque and rapid response times. This voltage standard ensures seamless compatibility with ESAB's range of process controllers, such as the PEK, as well as other standard automation control boxes. The motor drive is designed to handle the weight of heavy-duty welding torches and cable assemblies without compromising on speed or accuracy.

Built for the Industrial Environment

Welding environments are notoriously harsh, filled with metal dust, spatter, and high temperatures. The ESAB Motorized Slide is constructed with durability in mind. Its guide rails and drive mechanisms are shielded to minimize the ingress of contaminants, ensuring a long service life and reduced maintenance requirements. The rigidity of the slide structure prevents vibration and flexing during operation, which is critical for maintaining a stable arc and consistent penetration. This makes it an ideal replacement part or upgrade for ESAB A2 and A6 automatic welding heads, restoring your equipment to factory-level performance.

Installation is straightforward for maintenance teams familiar with ESAB automation equipment. The unit is designed as a modular component, allowing for quick swapping to minimize downtime. By integrating this motorized slide into your setup, you enable capabilities such as automatic voltage control (AVC) for height regulation or precise horizontal steering for seam tracking. This level of automation not only improves weld quality but also significantly reduces the cognitive load on operators, allowing them to focus on monitoring process parameters rather than manually adjusting torch position.
