35570 - ESAB PT-15XL Bevel Retaining Cup

Precision Engineering for Mechanized Plasma Beveling

The ESAB 35570 Retaining Cup is a specialized consumable component designed exclusively for the PT-15XL plasma cutting torch system. In the realm of high-amperage mechanized plasma cutting, the retaining cup plays a pivotal role in the thermal management and structural alignment of the torch front-end assembly. This specific iteration is engineered with a geometry optimized for bevel cutting applications, allowing for the necessary torch angulation without interference while maintaining efficient gas dynamics.

Manufactured to ESAB's exacting OEM standards, the 35570 cup ensures that the nozzle and electrode remain perfectly concentric during operation. This concentricity is vital for achieving high-density plasma arcs required for clean, dross-free bevels on carbon steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. The material composition of the cup is selected for its high dielectric strength and thermal resistance, preventing premature degradation caused by the radiant heat of the plasma arc and the reflective heat from the workpiece.

Industrial fabricators relying on the PT-15XL for automated cutting tables understand that using genuine parts like the 35570 is essential for process reliability. Inferior aftermarket alternatives often suffer from poor thread tolerances or inconsistent wall thickness, leading to gas turbulence that can destabilize the arc and ruin cut quality. By utilizing this genuine ESAB retaining cup, operators ensure optimal cooling efficiency and prolong the lifespan of internal consumables.

Furthermore, the bevel-specific design addresses the unique challenges of angled cutting, such as increased potential for spatter adhesion and altered gas flow requirements. This component is an integral part of the consumable stack, working in unison with the swirl baffle and nozzle to deliver the precision required for weld-prep edges and complex geometric cuts in heavy industrial environments.
