0156014002 - ESAB A6 Series Replacement Shim

Precision Mechanical Shim for ESAB A6 Systems

The ESAB Shim A6 (Part Number 0156014002) is a specialized mechanical component engineered for the ESAB A6 series of automatic welding heads and tractors. In the realm of heavy industrial welding, particularly Submerged Arc (SAW) and automatic MIG/MAG processes, the mechanical integrity of the welding head is paramount. This shim acts as a precision spacer, critical for setting correct clearances, aligning drive gears, and ensuring the smooth operation of the wire feed and travel mechanisms.

Constructed to meet ESAB's rigorous OEM specifications, this shim ensures that your A6 equipment maintains the tight tolerances required for high-quality automated welding. Over time, mechanical assemblies may require adjustment due to wear or during routine maintenance overhauls. Installing the correct shim eliminates mechanical play that could otherwise lead to vibration, inconsistent travel speeds, or wire feed irregularities. It is an essential component for technicians performing rebuilds or repairs on A6 Mastertrac tractors and A6-DK welding heads.

Using genuine ESAB parts like the 0156014002 Shim guarantees compatibility with the existing assembly, preventing the issues often associated with makeshift spacers. Whether utilized in the gear housing, slide adjustments, or motor mounting points, this part supports the longevity and reliability of your capital equipment. Ensure your automated welding lines remain operational and accurate by utilizing only factory-authorized replacement components.
