359C562 - ESAB A2 Multitrac SAW Tractor with PEK Controller and 15m Cable

Industrial Automation for Heavy Fabrication

The ESAB A2 Multitrac with PEK Controller (Configured for LAF 631, 15m Cable) represents a pinnacle in modular automatic welding solutions. Designed for the rigorous demands of heavy industry, shipyards, and structural steel fabrication, this system leverages the efficiency of Submerged Arc Welding (SAW) to deliver high deposition rates and superior weld quality. The A2 Multitrac is renowned for its versatility; while primarily a SAW powerhouse, it can be easily converted for Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW), making it a dual-process asset for diverse production lines.

At the heart of this configuration is the PEK Process Controller. This advanced digital interface provides operators and welding engineers with precise control over every aspect of the welding procedure. From setting pre-defined weld data to monitoring real-time feedback on voltage and amperage, the PEK ensures that strict welding procedure specifications (WPS) are adhered to. The controller supports multiple languages and features a clear display, reducing the learning curve for operators while offering deep functionality for process optimization.

This specific SKU is tailored for integration with the ESAB LAF 631, a robust DC power source known for its excellent arc characteristics in submerged arc applications. The inclusion of a 15-meter interconnection cable provides significant operational flexibility, allowing the tractor to travel along long beams or large vessels without the constraint of a nearby power source. The four-wheel drive mechanism ensures smooth, consistent travel speeds, which is critical for maintaining uniform bead profile and penetration. By automating the welding process with the A2 Multitrac, facilities can significantly reduce rework, minimize operator fatigue, and achieve production throughputs that manual welding simply cannot match.

The system's mechanical design is both rugged and compact. Components can be easily adjusted to suit different joint geometries, including fillet welds and butt welds. The wire feed mechanism utilizes a feedback system to maintain constant wire speed, compensating for any resistance in the torch or cable, ensuring a defect-free deposit.
