0145787880 - ESAB Twin Wire Straightener Assembly

Keep Your Twin Arcs on Track

If you are running a twin wire setup, you know that feeding issues are double the trouble. The ESAB 0145787880 Wire Straightener Twin Wire is built to solve one of the most annoying problems in automated welding: wire cast. When wire comes off the spool or drum, it wants to keep that curved shape. If you feed that curved wire through your gun or torch without straightening it first, the wire is going to flip, twist, and wander as soon as it leaves the tip. On a twin wire head, that means your arcs might start dancing around, crossing over, or missing the joint entirely.

This straightener is the fix. It mounts onto your feeder assembly and uses a set of rollers to physically bend the wire back into a straight line before it ever hits the liner or the tip. It’s fully adjustable, so you can dial in just enough pressure to take the curve out without deforming the wire itself. This is huge for keeping your bead profile consistent. When the wire shoots straight, your arc stays exactly where you programmed it to be. No more babysitting the robot or the tractor to make sure it's not welding the sidewall instead of the root.

Beyond just accuracy, this tool saves you maintenance headaches. Curved wire drags hard against the inside of your contact tips, wearing them out unevenly and causing burn-backs or poor contact. By straightening the wire first, you get smoother feeding, less drag, and your tips last longer. Whether you are doing heavy structural steel with sub-arc or high-speed fabrication, this ESAB straightener is the piece of gear that keeps your twin wire operation running smooth, stable, and profitable.
