The Welder 01/2013 - ESAB

New eSAB TIG Torches put
the welder’S NeedS firSt.
ESAB’s versatile new range of TXH TIG welding torches have been designed with the
needs of the welder in mind. They have a highly ergonomic design, are convenient to
operate, and produce high quality results in all common TIG welding applications.
The torches are designed for use with all TIG welding machines that have an OKC
connection. Remote versions will operate with CAN-bus controlled machines.
There is a range of air-cooled and water-cooled TXH torch packages available
including the remote versions. Flexible head versions ensure welding tasks can
be carried out in difficult access areas, while the 401w HD torch is designed for
heavy duty applications up to 400 A.
Welding diameters range from 1.0 mm – 3.2 mm for the TXH 121 torch to 1.0 mm –
4.8 mm for the TXH 401w model. All torches comply with EN60974-7 GOST-R and
CCC standards.
TXH torches can be specified with or without a gas valve and with or without
a flexible neck, according to individual preference and intended usage. The
welding torch heads are lightweight and durable. They have a highly effective
cooling system and are manufactured with high temperature resistant silicone
rubber. Copper components ensure cooler running temperatures, while also
maximising the torch’s current capacity and therefore welding performance.

with Aristo Fluid pre-weld
Anti-spAtter.
ESAB’s new Aristo Fluid pre-weld anti-spatter is based on an advanced formula that will help
to prevent spatter and molten metal from sticking to a work piece during welding. This will in
turn reduce the need for subsequent chipping, sanding, and grinding of the work piece thereby
reducing cost and increasing efficiency and productivity.
Aristo Fluid has a high strength formula that is up to three times stronger than alternative
products currently available. The combination of high concentration and high heat resistance,
together with the efficiency of the BOV system, means that Aristo Fluid can offer tangible cost
savings. Add these benefits to a competitive price and Aristo Fluid is set to appeal to many
different markets including plant fabrication and maintenance work, the automotive industry,
civil construction, agriculture, and general fabrication.

New WARRIOR
Tech reactive
weldiNg helmet.
Designed for use in all welding applications, ESAB’s
new Warrior Tech welding helmet meet the needs of
welding professionals requiring a high specification,
ergonomically designed lightweight helmet that provides
protection from dangerous UV/IR radiation, heat,
and spatter.
Critical for any welder is the performance of the lens
and with the Warrior Tech, four welding arc sensors
provide high response levels and a wider sensory
coverage than many alternative helmets of this type.
It has a large viewing area of 98 mm x 48 mm and this
wider than normal field of vision increases spatial
awareness. It features shade adjustment between DIN9
and DIN13 with its automatic shade darkening filter (ADF)
lens. This lens also gives the welder optimal viewing
clarity and excellent optical quality.

Tech welding helmet.
The helmet offers optimal performance for most
fabrication and out-of-position welding. Its sensitivity
control is a useful adaptable feature when welding
with low amperages, such as when TIG welding, and
ensures a better reaction to darker arc light.
The delay control allows the welder to set how long the
lens stays dark after the welding arc stops. A short delay
will help to get the job done faster during tack welding,
while a longer delay is useful for high amperage welding.
The delay and sensitivity can be adjusted from the inside.
Ergonomically designed for high operator comfort, the
helmet’s headband is fully adjustable over the head and
there are three longitudinal adjustments to increase field
of vision. For enhanced comfort, the angled front pad
sits flat on the forehead to reduce frontal lobe pressure.
The shell has “B” grade impact safety rating.
