OVERVIEW

High-Performance Automation for Heavy Industry

The ESAB A6 Mastertrac SAW Twin PEK is a premier solution for heavy-duty industrial welding applications where efficiency, speed, and reliability are paramount. Designed for the rigorous demands of shipbuilding, bridge construction, and pressure vessel fabrication, this self-propelled automatic welding machine transforms the Submerged Arc Welding (SAW) process into a highly controlled and productive operation. The "Twin" configuration utilizes two wires fed into a single weld pool, which significantly increases deposition rates compared to single-wire setups. This capability allows fabrication shops to complete long, continuous welds faster, directly translating to reduced project timelines and lower labor costs per meter of weld.

At the heart of this system is the PEK Process Controller, a sophisticated digital interface that removes the guesswork from automation. It allows welding engineers and supervisors to pre-program welding parameters, ensuring that every run meets strict quality standards. The controller supports data storage, parameter monitoring, and easy adjustments, providing a level of quality assurance essential for critical infrastructure projects. The A6 Mastertrac's four-wheel drive system ensures consistent travel speeds even on uneven surfaces or slight inclines, guaranteeing uniform heat input and bead profile. By investing in the A6 Mastertrac Twin, facilities gain a robust, modular platform that can adapt to various heavy welding challenges while delivering superior return on investment through maximized arc-on time.

FAQ

The Twin wire configuration feeds two wires into the same weld pool, allowing for significantly higher deposition rates and faster travel speeds compared to a single wire setup, improving overall productivity.

The PEK controller manages all welding parameters (volts, amps, travel speed), stores welding programs, monitors performance, and provides a digital interface for precise control and repeatability.

No, the A6 Mastertrac is a tractor designed primarily for flat and horizontal-fillet positions. It relies on gravity and its wheels to travel along the workpiece.

Typically, this SKU refers to the tractor, head, and controller package. The power source (such as an ESAB LAF or TAF series) is usually specified and purchased separately based on power requirements.

The Twin head is generally designed for smaller diameter wires compared to single wire setups, often running two wires in the 1.6mm to 2.5mm range, but specific contact tips must be selected.

The machine can be guided manually using the steering lever on the front, or it can be equipped with mechanical guide wheels that track the joint or a guide rail.

It is ideal for heavy industries such as shipbuilding, bridge building, wind energy, and beam fabrication where long, straight welds on thick materials are common.

The A6 Mastertrac features a 4-wheel drive system, providing excellent traction and stable travel speed even on pre-heated plates or slight inclines.
