0458450885 - ESAB PSF 410Cw Water-Cooled MIG Torch with RS3 Remote - 4.5m

Technical Overview: ESAB PSF 410Cw RS3

The ESAB PSF 410Cw RS3 (SKU: 0458450885) is a high-performance, water-cooled MIG/MAG welding torch designed for heavy-industrial applications requiring high duty cycles and precise control. This model belongs to the renowned PSF series, known for its robust construction and superior cooling dynamics. The 'Cw' designation indicates a water-cooled configuration, essential for maintaining thermal stability during prolonged welding operations at high amperages. The torch is rated for 400A at 100% duty cycle when using CO2, and approximately 350A with mixed gases, making it suitable for structural steel, heavy fabrication, and shipbuilding environments.

A defining technical feature of this specific assembly is the inclusion of the RS3 remote module. The RS3 unit is integrated into the handle and provides a 3-step program switch or parameter adjustment capability, depending on the connected power source configuration. This allows the operator to toggle between pre-set welding jobs or adjust wire feed speed/voltage remotely, significantly reducing downtime associated with returning to the wire feeder. The 4.5-meter (approx. 15 feet) cable assembly utilizes high-conductivity copper stranding and a durable outer sheath resistant to cuts, abrasion, and heat.

The mechanical design features a ball-and-socket joint at the handle base, ensuring optimal flexibility and reducing torque transfer to the welder's wrist. The front-end consumables utilize ESAB's proprietary PSF geometry, which optimizes gas coverage and electrical contact. The water-cooling circuit extends to the nozzle seat, ensuring that the contact tip and nozzle remain cool, thereby reducing spatter adhesion and extending consumable life. This gun is compatible with wire diameters ranging from 0.8mm to 1.6mm, accommodating a wide spectrum of welding procedures.
