OVERVIEW

Double Your Welding Output

Transform your shop's productivity with the ESAB MechTrac 1730 Dual, the ultimate solution for automating long, repetitive welding jobs. If your team spends hours manually welding beams, girders, or long seams, you know the challenges of maintaining consistency and fighting operator fatigue. The MechTrac 1730 Dual removes these hurdles by automating the travel and torch positioning, delivering flawless welds mile after mile with minimal effort.

The standout feature of this system is its "Dual" head capability. Unlike standard carriages that weld one side at a time, the MechTrac 1730 Dual is built to mount two welding heads, allowing you to weld both sides of a joint simultaneously. Imagine fabricating a T-beam and completing both fillet welds in one run—this system makes it possible, cutting your welding time in half and drastically increasing your daily output. Whether you are running Submerged Arc (SAW) for deep penetration or MIG/MAG for speed, this gantry adapts to your needs.

Built tough by ESAB, the MechTrac 1730 rides smoothly on rails, ensuring steady travel speed that manual welding simply cannot match. This consistency results in uniform bead width, better penetration, and a professional finish that requires less grinding and rework. The system is designed to work with ESAB’s easy-to-use controllers, putting total control of voltage, wire feed speed, and travel speed right at your fingertips. Setup is quick, and the gantry can be adjusted to fit different beam sizes and profiles.

Stop letting manual processes slow down your fabrication line. The ESAB MechTrac 1730 Dual is the efficiency booster your business needs to take on larger projects and tighter deadlines. By automating the heavy lifting of welding travel, you free up your skilled welders to focus on quality control and setup, maximizing the value of your labor force. Upgrade to the MechTrac 1730 Dual and experience the competitive advantage of automated welding.

FAQ

The MechTrac 1730 Dual is a mechanized gantry system designed to move welding heads along a rail for automated longitudinal welding of beams and profiles.

It indicates that the gantry is configured to support two welding heads, allowing for simultaneous welding on both sides of a workpiece.

The unit supports Submerged Arc Welding (SAW) and Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW/MIG), depending on the installed equipment.

No, the welding power sources (such as ESAB LAF or TAF series) are sold separately and must be selected based on process requirements.

It is ideal for long linear welds found in I-beams, T-beams, box girders, and other structural profiles.

The ESAB PEK process controller is typically used to manage the welding parameters and travel motion.

By automating the travel and allowing dual-head welding, it significantly increases deposition rates and reduces the time required to complete long welds.

Rails are typically specified and purchased separately based on the required travel length for your facility.
