OVERVIEW

Achieve Perfect Welds on Pipes and Tanks

Take the strain out of long, curved welds with the ESAB Flexible Rail (0398146115). Designed specifically for the ESAB Railtrac system, this 2.5-meter track allows your welding tractor to travel smoothly along the contours of your workpiece. Whether you are welding the circumference of a large pipe, the side of a storage tank, or a curved ship hull, this flexible rail ensures your torch stays on the seam without the need for constant manual adjustment.

Manual welding on curved surfaces is physically demanding and often leads to inconsistent travel speeds and stop-start defects. By mounting your Railtrac unit on this flexible guide, you can automate the process, ensuring a consistent travel speed and heat input throughout the entire length of the weld. The result is a professional, high-quality weld that requires less rework and reduces welder fatigue. The rail is durable yet pliable enough to conform to various radii, making it a versatile addition to your welding automation toolkit.

Setting up is quick and straightforward. The rail is compatible with standard magnetic bridges or vacuum mounts, allowing you to fix the track securely in position in minutes. If you have a long seam to weld, simply connect another section of rail to extend your reach. Invest in the ESAB Flexible Rail to unlock the full potential of your Railtrac system and deliver consistent results on every job.

FAQ

The rail is 2.5 meters (approximately 8.2 feet) long.

Yes, while it is designed to be flexible for curves, it can also be laid flat for linear welding applications.

The rail is typically mounted using magnetic brackets for steel or vacuum cups for non-ferrous materials (sold separately).

Yes, this flexible rail is designed for compatibility with ESAB Railtrac systems, including the B42V.

Yes, the rails are designed to be modular and can be connected to extend the total track length.

It is made of a durable, flexible composite metal designed to withstand welding environments while allowing for bending.

No, this is only the flexible guide rail. The Railtrac tractor and mounting magnets are sold separately.

The rail is designed for large diameter curves (tanks, vessels); specific minimum radius specs should be checked in the Railtrac manual, but it generally accommodates standard industrial vessel curvatures.
