0413511001 - ESAB A2/A6 Bent Contact Tube D20 (0413511001)

Precision Wire Delivery for Automatic Welding

When your welding operation relies on the heavy-duty performance of ESAB A2 or A6 automatic heads, the condition of your contact tube can make or break your weld quality. The ESAB 0413511001 Bent Contact Tube D20 is designed to keep your automation running at peak efficiency. Unlike straight tubes, this bent configuration allows for improved access and wire targeting, which is particularly useful when welding in deep grooves, fillets, or when multiple heads are arranged in close proximity for tandem welding.

Built for the Heat
Automated welding often involves high amperages and long duty cycles that would destroy standard consumables. This contact tube is crafted from a durable copper alloy capable of withstanding the intense heat and electrical loads typical of Submerged Arc (SAW) and high-deposition MIG applications. The material resists annealing and wear, ensuring that the internal bore maintains its dimension longer. A worn contact tube can lead to micro-arcing inside the tip or wandering wire placement, both of which compromise the integrity of the weld. By choosing this high-quality replacement, you ensure a stable arc and precise bead placement every time.

Optimized for A2/A6 Systems
The A2 and A6 systems are the workhorses of the welding industry, found in beam fabrication, tank manufacturing, and shipbuilding. This D20 contact tube fits securely into the head's contact jaw assembly, providing a low-resistance electrical connection. The bent shape is not just about access; it also helps in pre-bending the wire slightly or directing it to the leading or trailing edge of the puddle as needed by your specific procedure. Installation is straightforward, allowing operators to swap out worn tubes quickly during scheduled maintenance intervals.

Don't let a small consumable cause a big problem on your production line. Invest in the ESAB 0413511001 Bent Contact Tube to maintain the precision and reliability your automated processes demand. It is the professional's choice for consistent, defect-free welds in heavy manufacturing environments.
