0153592882 - ESAB A6 Automated Gouging Torch Attachment for PEK Systems

Turn Your A6 Tractor into a Gouging Beast

Stop breaking your back with manual gouging on long seams. The ESAB Arcair Gouge Attachment A6 (0153592882) is the ultimate upgrade for your A6 Mastertrac or beam-mounted welding head, transforming it into a fully automated gouging machine. If you are working on thick plate fabrication, tank building, or structural steel, you know that back-gouging is often the bottleneck. Manual gouging is hot, loud, and physically exhausting, often leading to inconsistent groove depths that require extra grinding. This attachment solves that problem by letting the machine do the hard work.

Designed to work seamlessly with your existing ESAB PEK control system, this attachment mounts directly to your A6 head. It holds the gouging carbon steady and directs the air blast exactly where it's needed to clear molten metal cleanly. Because it's automated, you get a perfect, smooth groove every single time—no dips, no wandering, and no operator fatigue. You can set the depth and let the tractor run the length of the seam, producing a clean, bright metal surface ready for the next weld pass immediately.

This unit is built tough to withstand the sparks and heat of heavy-duty gouging. It supports jointed carbons, allowing for continuous feeding so you don't have to stop in the middle of a run. Whether you are removing old welds or preparing the backside of a root pass for 100% penetration, the A6 Gouging Attachment gives you the control and power you need to get the job done faster and cleaner. Upgrade your automation setup and take the manual labor out of metal removal.
