OVERVIEW

Automate Your Weld Quality

Take the guesswork out of long seam welds with the ESAB GMH Automatic Joint Tracking Unit. This unit is the muscle behind the tracking operation, designed to physically adjust your welding head to follow the joint perfectly every time. Whether you are running long structural beams, tank manufacturing, or pipe welding, keeping the arc in the joint is critical for passing X-ray and ultrasound testing. The GMH unit handles the minute adjustments automatically, compensating for warped plates or tack weld interferences.

Please Note: This item (0460503880) is the GMH unit less the control panel. It is perfect for replacing a worn-out tracker on your beam builder or column and boom manipulator without having to buy the entire electronic control package again. It connects directly to your existing ESAB automation ecosystem, getting your production line back up and running with minimal downtime.

Built with ESAB's legendary durability, this tracking unit ensures your heavy industrial welding processes run smoothly. By maintaining the correct stick-out and lateral position, it helps prevent lack of fusion and undercut, saving you time and money on costly repairs.
