34956 - ESAB PT-19XL Mechanized Plasma Torch Assembly, 4.5 ft Leads

Heavy-Duty Mechanized Plasma Cutting Solution

The ESAB PT-19XL (SKU: 34956) is a premier mechanized plasma cutting torch designed for high-amperage industrial applications. Engineered to handle up to 360 Amps, this torch assembly is built for environments requiring continuous operation and deep cutting capacities on thick materials. The specific configuration of this unit includes 4.5-foot service lines, making it an ideal replacement or installation component for gantry systems where the high-frequency box or valve manifold is mounted in close proximity to the torch lifter station. This short-lead design reduces cable clutter and optimizes the efficiency of the plasma system layout.

At the core of the PT-19XL's performance is its superior water-cooling system. Unlike air-cooled torches that may struggle with heat dissipation during prolonged cuts, the PT-19XL maintains optimal operating temperatures, ensuring a 100% duty cycle even at maximum output. This thermal management is critical not only for the longevity of the torch body but also for the consistency of the plasma arc. By keeping the consumables cool, the torch reduces erosion of the electrode and nozzle, leading to longer intervals between consumable changes and lower overall operating costs for the facility.

This torch is compatible with a wide range of plasma gases, including Oxygen, Nitrogen, Air, and Argon-Hydrogen mixtures, allowing operators to tailor the cutting process to the specific metallurgy of the workpiece. Whether cutting mild steel, stainless steel, or aluminum, the PT-19XL delivers clean, square edges with minimal dross. The robust construction of the torch body resists the harsh conditions of industrial cutting tables, including exposure to metal spatter, dust, and mechanical vibration. For maintenance and repair operations (MRO) managers, the ESAB 34956 represents a direct OEM replacement that ensures compatibility with existing ESAB and legacy L-TEC high-current plasma systems.
