OVERVIEW

Take Command of Your Automatic Welding

For welders and operators running automatic tractors or beam welding gantries, the ESAB PEK Control Box is the tool that makes the job easier and more reliable. Gone are the days of guessing knob positions or struggling with drifting parameters. The PEK gives you a clear, digital readout of exactly what your machine is doing, putting total control of the weld puddle right at your fingertips.

Whether you are running Submerged Arc (SAW) on heavy plate or MIG (GMAW) on long structural seams, the PEK simplifies the process. You can set your amps, volts, and travel speed before you even strike the arc. Once the welding starts, the controller constantly monitors the motors to ensure the wire feeds exactly as fast as you set it, and the tractor moves at the precise speed required. This means fewer defects, less rework, and a smoother day of production.

One of the best features for the daily operator is the memory library. If you have a specific setup for 1-inch plate and another for 1/2-inch fillet welds, you can save them both. Next time you switch jobs, just load the saved program, and you are ready to weld in seconds. The menu is easy to navigate, and the buttons are designed to be used even with gloved hands. It connects easily to ESAB's A2 and A6 welding heads, making it the standard for reliable, high-quality automatic welding.

The unit is rugged and built to withstand the heat, dust, and electrical noise of a welding shop. It provides clear feedback if something goes wrong, helping you troubleshoot issues like wire stick-outs or motor faults quickly. With the PEK Control Box, you aren't just watching the machine weld; you are commanding it with precision.

FAQ

The PEK Control Box supports both Submerged Arc Welding (SAW) and Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW/MIG).

It is compatible with ESAB LAF and TAF series power sources, as well as the Aristo 1000 AC/DC.

Yes, the PEK allows you to store up to 255 different welding parameter sets (weld data) for quick recall.

Typically, the PEK is sold as the control unit itself. Interconnection cables are usually specific to the setup length and are sold separately or in cable kits.

The unit operates on 42V AC, which is typically supplied directly from the compatible welding power source.

The PEK is designed specifically for automatic welding applications, such as with A2 and A6 welding tractors or heads.

Yes, the PEK can calculate and display heat input if the necessary parameters and sensors are configured.

Yes, the PEK is often used to retrofit or upgrade older automatic systems that used previous generations of controllers like the PEH.
