OVERVIEW

Precision Control for the Professional Operator

For the welding operator, the ESAB A6 Mastertrac SAW Twin PEK represents the ultimate in sub-arc convenience and power. Gone are the days of struggling with inconsistent travel speeds or manual adjustments that drift over time. This tractor features a heavy-duty 4-wheel drive system with a feedback loop that maintains your exact set travel speed, ensuring your weld bead remains consistent from start to finish. The "Twin" wire setup means you are laying down more metal in a single pass, which is ideal for filling large joints in heavy plate without needing excessive multi-pass layering. The wire straighteners and robust drive rolls ensure smooth feeding, minimizing the risk of burn-backs or bird-nesting that can halt production.

The PEK controller is designed with the user in mind. It features a clear display and intuitive menu system that lets you set Amperage, Voltage, and Travel Speed with digital precision. You can save your favorite settings for recurring jobs, allowing for quick setup times at the start of a shift. The unit allows for on-the-fly adjustments if conditions change, giving you full control over the puddle. The cross slides are sturdy and easy to manipulate, allowing for precise positioning of the torch head relative to the joint. Whether you are welding stiffeners, splicing plates, or fabricating beams, the A6 Mastertrac Twin takes the physical strain out of the job while giving you the tools to produce X-ray quality welds consistently.

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.
