0398145203 - ESAB B42V Turning Bracket Assembly

Precision Support for Welding Automation

The ESAB 0398145203 Turning Bracket B42V is a specialized mechanical component engineered for ESAB's line of welding automation and wire feeding systems. In the context of mechanized welding, where precision and repeatability are critical, the structural integrity of the welding head mounting is paramount. This turning bracket serves as a key interface, allowing for the secure attachment and necessary articulation of the B42V wire feed unit or associated welding head assembly. Manufactured to ESAB's strict Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) specifications, this part ensures that the geometric relationship between the welding torch and the workpiece remains constant throughout the welding cycle.

Constructed from high-grade industrial steel, the bracket is designed to withstand the thermal cycles, vibration, and mechanical stresses inherent in heavy-duty industrial environments. The design incorporates precise mounting points that align perfectly with the mating surfaces of the B42V system, eliminating the need for field modifications or shimming. By maintaining rigid support, the bracket prevents unwanted deflection or vibration of the torch, which could otherwise lead to defects such as wandering weld seams, inconsistent bead profiles, or lack of fusion. This component is essential for maintaining the high-performance standards expected of ESAB automation equipment.

For maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) professionals, utilizing genuine ESAB parts like the 0398145203 bracket is crucial for lifecycle management. Non-OEM substitutes may lack the dimensional accuracy or material strength required, leading to premature failure or misalignment. This turning bracket is supplied ready for installation, ensuring that downtime is minimized during repair cycles. It is compatible with specific configurations of the B42V series, making it a vital spare part for facilities utilizing ESAB's mechanized welding solutions for beam welding, tank fabrication, or pipe welding applications.
