0156018001 - ESAB A6 System Replacement Side Plate

Genuine ESAB A6 Automation Component

The ESAB 0156018001 Side Plate is a critical structural component designed for the renowned A6 series of automatic welding heads. The A6 system is the industry standard for heavy-duty Submerged Arc Welding (SAW) and Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW), known for its modularity and reliability in demanding industrial environments. This side plate serves as a foundational element for the feed unit assembly, providing the necessary rigidity to support drive rolls, motors, and other mechanical linkages.

In automated welding applications, mechanical precision is paramount. A compromised or damaged side plate can lead to misalignment of the wire feed mechanism, resulting in inconsistent arc stability, wire slippage, or uneven bead profiles. By utilizing this genuine OEM replacement part, operators ensure that their A6 Mastertrac or A6 Compact heads maintain the tight tolerances required for high-quality, repeatable welds. The plate is manufactured to ESAB's exact specifications, ensuring seamless integration with existing A6 modules without the need for modification.

Constructed from high-grade industrial metal, this side plate is engineered to resist the thermal cycling and mechanical vibration inherent in continuous welding operations. Whether used in beam fabrication, tank manufacturing, or offshore construction, maintaining the integrity of your welding head's housing is essential for maximizing uptime and equipment lifespan. This part is supplied individually and is ready for immediate installation into your maintenance workflow.
