Selecting the right ESAB TIG welder
Whether you're a hobby welder or professional welder and working with stainless steel, aluminum, or other materials, ESAB TIG welders deliver the welding performance and reliability you need. These TIG welders are the ideal solution for anyone welder working in General Fabrication Repair, Pipe Construction, Aerospace, Training Schools, Industrial Fabrication, Chemical industry and Steel Erectors.
Our selection of ESAB TIG Welders (GTAW) was crafted to fit with the needs of every welder. From hobbyist welders to professional heavy duty welders. ESAB has created some of the most high performing TIG Welding machines with high capabilities in easy to transport and to use designs. The selection includes AC/DC TIG welders and DC only models, with duty cycles ranging from 200A to 400a at 60% duty cycle, single phase and 3 phase, in air-cooled and water-cooled options.
Here is a breakdown of the different models of ESAB TIG welders:
-
ESAB Rogue ET: The ESAB Rogue ET 181 & 201 TIG welders are portable and budget friendly TIG Welding machines. They offer exceptional steady arc characteristics in TIG and MMA welding output with power factor correction (PFC). They are the best TIG welders for beginners and will be suitable for most tig welding applications. Also in the family of ESAB Rogue ET welders is the ESAB Rogue ET 230ip AC/DC which is is a portable, high quality, professional AC/DC TIG welder with extended parameter options to excel at everyday aluminium, stainless steel and carbon steel welding. An intuitive graphical user interface with a 5-inch colour display brings new functionality for quick and easy adjustments. The machine offers stable performance can tackle a wide range of thicknesses including very thin plates making it the ideal solution for any TIG welding job.
-
ESAB Renegade ET: The ESAB Renegade ET are more powerful TIG Welders but still in a compact design. Thanks to PFC circuit you'll be able to use your ESAB Renegade even with long extension cables or poor power network. It will be suitable for most of the most demanding welding projects with thicker metals.
-
ESAB Fabricator ET 410ip: The ESAB Fabricator ET 41i0ip power source is a heavy duty welding machine and perfect for more industrial TIG welding. Created to work in high demanding civil construction projects without having to think about the thickness of the metal to weld. Equipped with High Frequency for easy arc starts and Start Pulse (micropulse) which preheats the Tungsten electrode for improved arc stability from the start.
There are multiple features that make ESAB TIG welders stand out compared to other manufacturers. They are equipped with advanced TIG controls to create the best arc no matter the environment. They often feature high frequency TIG start (HF) and pulse functionality to create a stable arc during the whole welding process.
You can find different cooling options for ESAB TIG Welders. Air-cooled TIG welders are more portable and suitable for lower amperage applications while water-cooled TIG Welders are more effective at high amperage welding and for a longer duty cycle. If you are looking for more versatile ESAB welding machine, you could also consider ESAB multi-process welding machines, that combine TIG welding with ARC and MIG welding all in one machine. Notably the ESAB Rebel 205ic AC/DC, which offers an output of 205A at a 25% duty cycle for AC/DC TIG welding if you're wanting to TIG weld aluminium. As well as AC/DC tig welding capabilities, you can also perform MIG welding, stick welding, DC TIG welding and DC pulse welding making it a truly all-in-one, weld anything, anywhere, portable workhorse.
We also stock all TIG machine spare parts and consumables so you'll have everything yo need for your welding project. From Tungsten Electrodes to welding rods, as well as TIG welding gas to provide a full one-stop-shop for all your TIG welding equipment needs.
FAQ's
What are the key features of ESAB TIG welders?
The Key features of ESAB TIG Welders are the precision of there arc, the welding quality, the intuitive user interface thanks to the digital display that is equipped with all ESAB TIG welding machines, the advanced TIG controls, pulse welding capabilities, and AC DC functionality.
Other features of ESAB welding machines are the the adjustable gas pre flow and gas post flow for better control on the arc, and memory settings for customised welding parameters.
What types of materials can ESAB TIG welders weld?
With the ESAB TIG Welders you can weld various metals, such as steel or stainless steel. But you can only weld aluminium if your TIG Welder is an AC DC Model.
What safety equipment is required for TIG welding?
At Engweld we also stock ESAB Welding helmets and ESAB Welding gloves that are required during welding as well as well as either an ESAB welding jacket or welding apron and welding trousers and welding safety boots.
How do I choose the right ESAB TIG welder for my application?
Choosing the right ESAB TIG Welder will depend of multiple factors. For instance, if you want to weld aluminium, you need an AC DC TIG Welder. Either the Rogue ET 230ip or the ESAB Rebel 205ic ACDC Multi-Process.
The choice from the ESAB range of TIG Welders will then depend on your budget and the spec of the projects you're undertaking. As a beginner who wants to buy your first TIG welding machine then the ESAB Rogue ET models are the most entry level and suitable, they're easy to use and perfect for any hobby welder. If you are working on more heavy duty projects with thick metals, then the ESAB Renegade are going to be more suitable as they have better welding output power. And with optional water cooled system they are able to work for a longer duty cycle.
We have also crafted a guide to help you choose you next tig welder.
