K52014-0505 - CS250 Motorized Cross Slide 5x5 Stroke

Rugged Reliability for Automated Welding

Take the hassle out of torch positioning with the CS250 5 x 5 Cross Slide Assembly. If your shop is moving towards automation or upgrading existing manipulators, this slide is the workhorse you need. Designed by Arc Products (a Lincoln Electric company), the CS250 is built to hold your welding gear steady and move it exactly where it needs to be, whether you are running a heavy Sub-Arc job or a precise MIG setup. It takes the guesswork out of torch alignment, allowing your automated systems to track seams accurately and keep the arc in the sweet spot.

What makes the CS250 stand out is its toughness. We know that welding environments are brutal—dust, heat, and spatter are everywhere. That’s why this slide uses totally enclosed DC gear motors and covered ball screws. You don't have to worry about grit getting into the gears and jamming up the works. The V-wheels ride on hardened steel rails, so the movement stays smooth and tight over years of service, not getting sloppy like cheaper slides. With a 250 lb capacity, you can mount heavy tandem torches or bulky wire drive assemblies without the slide sagging or binding.

This specific model gives you 5 inches of travel up-and-down and 5 inches side-to-side. That’s plenty of room to adjust for fit-up variations on large parts like pressure vessels, beams, or pipe. The travel speed is a quick 32 inches per minute, meaning you aren't waiting around for the torch to get into position. It’s compatible with standard seam tracking controls, making it a plug-and-play solution for upgrading your column and boom or gantry systems. Invest in the CS250 to keep your arc on track and your production line moving.
