359C565 - ESAB A2 Multitrac SAW System with LAF 1001 and PEK Controller

Automate Your Heavy Welding Tasks

Take the physical strain out of long, heavy welds and boost your deposition rates with the ESAB A2 Multitrac SAW System. This setup is built for welders who need to lay down serious metal on thick plates without stopping. Whether you are welding bridge girders, large tanks, or ship decks, this automatic tractor system does the heavy lifting so you can focus on quality control and setup.

The A2 Multitrac Tractor is your mobile welding partner. Unlike finicky carriages that slip or stall, this unit features a robust four-wheel drive system that grips the work surface securely. It moves smoothly at the exact speed you set, ensuring that every inch of your weld has the same penetration and appearance. It is compact enough to be moved easily by one person but heavy enough to stay on track. The steering handle allows for easy adjustments during setup, and the mechanical components are built to withstand the grit and heat of a sub-arc environment.

Controlling the beast is the PEK Controller. Gone are the days of guessing knob positions. The PEK gives you a digital readout of your Volts, Amps, and Travel Speed. You can set your parameters before you even strike an arc. If you have a procedure that works perfectly, save it in the memory and recall it the next time you have a similar job. This consistency makes passing X-ray and ultrasonic testing much easier because the machine eliminates the variables of hand welding.

Powering the arc is the legendary LAF 1001. This isn't a machine that needs a cooling break. Rated at 1000 Amps at 100% duty cycle, you can run this machine shift after shift without overheating. It provides a smooth, stable DC arc that burns wire efficiently and creates smooth, flat beads that require minimal grinding. The included 15-meter (approx. 50 ft) cable gives you the freedom to roam around large assemblies without constantly dragging the heavy power source behind you.

Key Operator Benefits:

• Less Fatigue: Let the tractor do the travel; you monitor the process.
• Higher Speed: Submerged arc welding deposits metal much faster than manual stick or MIG.
• Better Quality: Automatic control reduces defects like lack of fusion or undercut.
• Easy Setup: The PEK controller is user-friendly and speaks your language.
