When you are out in the field tackling complex orbital welding jobs, adaptability is your greatest asset. The Lincoln Electric K52060-03 HELIX® R Shoe Extension is the tool that bridges the gap between your standard equipment and non-standard pipe requirements. This 0.25-inch aluminum spacer is designed specifically for the HELIX OD and ID Track Rings, giving you the extra reach needed to fit rings onto pipes that might otherwise be just out of spec for your current setup. Instead of halting production to order a custom ring or struggling with fitment, these extensions provide an immediate, reliable solution.
Orbital welding demands precision, and the K52060-03 delivers. The extension isn't just a flat block of metal; it features a machined groove that mates perfectly with your HELIX track shoes. This ensures that once installed, the extension stays rigid and aligned, maintaining the concentricity required for a flawless weld bead. The use of aluminum keeps the gear light. You know that hauling heavy track rings up scaffolding or into tight spaces is exhausting; these extensions add the necessary size without adding unnecessary bulk, saving your back and making positioning easier.
One of the standout features of this accessory is its stackability. Sometimes a quarter-inch isn't enough. In those scenarios, you can stack these extensions to build out the required diameter. While the standard kit comes with screws for a single layer, the design accommodates longer screws for multi-layer setups. This means a handful of these extensions in your toolbox can solve a wide variety of fit-up challenges. Whether you are working on pressure vessels, process piping, or structural components, the K52060-03 ensures your HELIX head tracks smoothly and accurately every time.
