Welding Torches

With more than 70 years of experience in welding tractors, ESAB brings you the most flexible and versatile tractor on the market. Versotrac has been designed with the input from real life experience of welders all over the world.

For more than 70 years ESAB has designed welding tractors to make submerged arc welding easier and faster. The Versotrac Cadet is the newest addition to the family designed for SAW automation.

Today’s industry Due to the increased productivity demands, and the increased request of customised solutions, the CaB 300M has been developed. To be able to meet the demands, and adjust to the needs of the industry many times a customised solution could be the only way.With ESAB CaB configuration, the M-model gives the opportunity to build a customised solution with adapted modulus for different needs. All the functions are built in to the remote control, giving a fully integrated package. Flexible designA robust and stable design together with an adapted integrated electrical design has given a flexible design. There are three options of foundation; steel plate, concrete stand and rail carriage. The column is eccentric to keep the welding head in centre of the base. The boom is driven by rack and pinion and the pulse encoder gives a stable and smooth motion. The hoisting of the boom is done by a motor on top of the column and with help of a counter balance weight inside the column.Both the lifting chain and the hoisting motor has a high and reliable safety factor. It is also supplied with a safety mechanism that in an event of a break down immediately locks the boom to prevent damage to both personnel and equipment.Individual solutions When dressing up the naked column and boom into a complete welding solution, the optional combinations are almost unlimited. In order to facilitate the selection process to result in a specification based on customer´s application, there is a computer aided configuration system available. Together with the ESAB representative the customer is able to build up his welding solution, i.e. a specification of the modular components to be assembled and installed at the customer´s workshop in a most convenient manner.For all modular components applicable for this column and boom, kindly refer to our range of leaflets available from our representative.

Take command of your welding processes with the EAC 30 weld controller, designed to ensure control over every aspect of your welding process. This advanced controller integrates essential functionalities managing the welding power source, welding head, travel motion, and more, making it an ideal solution for column and boom systems (CaB). The EAC 30 seamlessly combines the proven capabilities of our renowned PEK and RCC solutions, setting a new standard for precision in welding technology for Single wire and Twin wire applications.

For SAW and GMAW applications

Sturdy compact flux recovery systems

The GMH joint tracking controller, together with ESAB servo slides and a sensor unit forms a robust and easy to use joint tracking system for automatic welding.

GMH
The GMH system minimizes repair welding and adjustments after welding thanks so that the arc is always in the optimal position. The general quality will be kept on an even level and the operator does not need to focus on the weld head and its position.

The operator can then keep an eye on the entire installation and contribute to a non-interrupted welding production by adding flux and prepare for changing the wire spool well in advance.

System contents
The welding head is mounted on a motorised double servo slide where the head can be moved up-down and left-right. The sensor is the most vital part in the system which gives information to the control system how to adjust the slides to keep the arc in the optimal position. There are a number of different mechanical sense fingers for different applications. Inductive sensors can also be used.

Operation
The operator uses the joystick to guide the welding head and mechanical sensor finger into correct position. No programming at all is required. The unit is set in track mode and the welding can start.

Curved details can as long as they are within the working range of the servo slides be welded fully automatic with GMH as the guiding tool.

GMH is available in three versions:

With control panel on the front
Suitable for ESAB’s A2 / A6 tractor automats and A2 / A6 beam travelling carriage. Automatic solutions with short distance between welding head and GMH control box and where the operator has a good overview of weld joint and welding head without moving around.

With remote control (no control panel on the front)
Suitable for Column & Booms and large automatic installations with long distance between welding head and GMH control box and when the operator must move around in order to get a good view of the welding joint.

Without control panel and remote control
Suitable for customized solutions where the customer’s own remote control is adapted to the GMH control box.

Highly stabilized manipulation of welding torches with optimized welding results
