The ESAB 1251501 Set of Knurled Tracing Rotors is a critical maintenance component for industrial shape cutting machines utilizing optical tracing technology. In the realm of automated oxy-fuel and plasma cutting, the accuracy of the cut is entirely dependent on the ability of the tracing head to follow a line drawing or template without deviation. These rotors serve as the primary interface between the drive motor and the tracing surface, translating rotational torque into precise X-Y coordinate movement.
Over time, the knurled surface of a tracing rotor can become worn down, clogged with debris, or damaged, leading to a loss of friction. This phenomenon, often referred to as "slippage," results in the machine failing to corner correctly or drifting off the pattern line, ultimately causing scrapped parts and wasted material. This genuine ESAB replacement set is manufactured to exact tolerances, featuring a sharp, consistent knurl pattern designed to grip standard templates and paper drawings effectively without tearing them.
Installing the 1251501 rotor set restores the mechanical integrity of the tracing system. By ensuring a positive 1:1 transfer of motion, operators can trust that the torch path will faithfully replicate the intended geometry. This component is engineered from hardened steel to withstand the continuous friction and mechanical loads inherent in industrial cutting environments. Whether you are operating a vintage cantilever machine or a gantry system with optical capabilities, maintaining fresh tracing rotors is essential for preserving dimensional tolerances.
For maintenance personnel, replacing the tracing rotors is a standard procedure that should be performed whenever tracking issues are observed or during scheduled overhauls of the tracing head. This set provides the necessary components to refurbish the drive interface, ensuring your ESAB equipment continues to deliver the high-quality cuts it was designed for.
