The ESAB 0398146112 Flexible Rail is a specialized guide track engineered for use with ESAB's line of mechanized welding and cutting tractors, specifically the Railtrac series. This component is critical for applications requiring automated travel over non-linear surfaces.
Constructed from durable, semi-rigid materials, the rail maintains enough stiffness to support the weight of the tractor unit while offering sufficient flexibility to wrap around large diameter pipes, tanks, and pressure vessels. The rail features a series of integrated permanent magnets spaced along its length. These magnets allow the track to be affixed directly to ferromagnetic workpieces, eliminating the need for vacuum systems or welded clips. This magnetic adhesion is strong enough to support the tractor in various positions, including vertical and overhead, depending on the specific tractor model and weight load.
The rail measures 2.5 meters (8.2 feet) in length. For longer weld seams, the rail ends are designed to butt together seamlessly, allowing operators to join multiple sections for continuous operation. The profile of the rail is precision-engineered to match the drive wheels of the Railtrac unit, ensuring slip-free traction and accurate path following. This accessory is vital for achieving code-quality welds in heavy fabrication environments where manual welding fatigue would otherwise compromise consistency.
