The ESAB Thermal Dynamics 21-1602 200A Bevel Tip is a specialized consumable engineered for heavy-industrial plasma cutting applications. Designed specifically for use with the PT-26 plasma torch, this tip is rated for 200 Amps, making it suitable for cutting thick plate and performing aggressive beveling operations. In the realm of thermal cutting, the geometry of the consumable orifice is critical to arc density and stability. This bevel tip features a precision-machined bore that shapes the plasma stream to maintain focus even at acute angles, ensuring that the bevel face remains smooth and dimensionally accurate.
Thermal Dynamics, an ESAB brand, manufactures these tips to exacting tolerances. The use of high-grade tellurium copper or similar alloys ensures optimal thermal conductivity, which is essential when managing the immense heat load generated by a 200A arc. Efficient heat transfer away from the orifice edge prevents premature erosion and keyholing, common failure modes in lower-quality aftermarket alternatives. By maintaining the integrity of the orifice for longer durations, operators experience less downtime for consumable changes and greater consistency across production runs.
This tip is specifically categorized for bevel cutting. Unlike standard cutting tips designed for 90-degree severance, the 21-1602 is optimized to handle the deflection and gas flow dynamics associated with tilted torch angles. This results in reduced dross accumulation on the bottom edge of the cut and a more uniform bevel angle, significantly reducing the need for secondary grinding or machining preparation before welding. For fabrication shops utilizing the PT-26 system on automated gantries or heavy manual setups, the 21-1602 is the definitive choice for maintaining process reliability and cut quality.
