01X17 - ESAB Oxweld C-39-20 Universal Machine Cutting Torch

High-Performance Automated Cutting Solution

The ESAB Oxweld C-39-20 Machine Torch is a premier solution for industrial automated cutting applications. Identified by the internal SKU ESB01X17, this torch is part of the legendary Oxweld C-39 series, known for its rugged reliability and high-capacity performance. The "UNIV MP" designation indicates a Universal Medium Pressure injector system, which provides the unique advantage of being compatible with virtually any fuel gas—including Acetylene, Propane, Natural Gas, and Propylene—simply by installing the appropriate cutting tips and adjusting pressures.

Technically, the C-39-20 features a 20-inch barrel length, providing the necessary standoff distance for gantry, tractor, and shape-cutting machines. The torch utilizes a 3-hose input configuration: one for fuel gas, one for preheat oxygen, and a separate line for cutting oxygen. This separation is critical for machine cutting as it ensures the preheat flame remains stable and unaffected when the high-velocity cutting oxygen stream is engaged. The result is a consistent, high-quality cut face with minimal melt-over.

Designed for heavy industrial environments, the torch body is constructed from durable brass alloys capable of withstanding significant radiant heat. It is equipped with a standard gear rack along the barrel, allowing for smooth and precise height adjustments via the machine's torch lifter. Compatible with the widely available Oxweld 1500 series cutting tips, the C-39-20 integrates seamlessly into existing Oxweld setups, making it a versatile and logical choice for MRO managers looking to maintain or upgrade their cutting tables.
