BTF TIG Torches

BTF torches are made with the welder in mind......For longer lasting quality the ESAB TIG torch runs cooler to reduce stress and increasethe life span of the torch and wear parts. Cooler running also means more comfortablehandling for the welder for improved performance during extended operation.

The trigger is small but probably the most important part of the TIG-torch. That is whyESAB has further developed this important function by understanding the needs ofprofessional welders. Just a ‘soft touch’ to operate but still very distinctive. Today we cansay “ESAB probably has the best trigger on the market.”

An original ESAB wear part is your assurance of quality, reliability, performance andvalue. Just as we manufacture the best torches, we also offer the finest wear parts. As awelder, you demand consistency and that is exactly what you get with all ESAB components.

Torches and torch outfit are specified and engineered to provide maximum versatilityand convenience for every needs. Rugged construction for troublefree operation andlong term low maintenance. High performance power / water cables combined withadvanced design allows greater current capacity even in restricted spaces. Choice of air-cooled or water-cooled, with options of flexible neck and integral gas valve for manualcontrol.

Quality and Performance Where It Matters Most√ Effective cooling means small size and perfect access in confined areas

√ Rugged construction provides trouble-free operation with low maintenance

√ Advanced design provides greater current capacity

√ Compact design for higher current applications in confined areas

√ High performance current/water cables

√ Built-in gas valve for manual control of shielding gas by hand

√ Flexible heads offer unlimited versatility for reaching hard to-get-at applications

You can choose between air-cooled and water-cooled, with or without gas valve andwith or without a flexible neck. It all depends on the job. The major characteristics forthe BTF torch program are its qualities. The torches and torch outfits are designed toprovide the utmost in convenience and versatility.

BTF TIG Torches

BTF 140V, 140VS RKThe BTF 140 torches are specially designed for small, confined spaces whereaccessibility is the primary concern. The BTF 140VS RK is used together with CaddyProfessional (LHN 140/250). The torch provides a convenient starting procedure, RKStart, and the opportunity for manual pulsing. All BTF 140 torches are designed for140A and are suitable for electrodes of ø 0.5-3.2mm.

√ Miniature head provides maximum accessibility√ Excellent visibility√ Gas lens available for improved shielding and higher weld quality√ Compact body provides easier access to permit welding in confined spaces√ Ergonomic silicon rubber body includes gas valve
