0558006166 - ESAB 0558006166 Shield 6.6mm for PT-36 Torch (5-Pack)

Precision Shielding for PT-36 Systems

The ESAB 0558006166 Shield is a critical consumable component designed for the PT-36 plasma torch, commonly used in high-precision automated cutting applications like the m3 Plasma system. This shield features a 6.6mm (0.259-inch) orifice, engineered to shape the plasma arc and shield gas flow accurately. By maintaining the correct standoff and protecting the inner nozzle from molten metal spatter, this component plays a vital role in achieving the high-quality cuts ESAB systems are known for.

Manufactured to strict OEM specifications, this shield ensures perfect concentricity and thermal durability. In mechanized plasma cutting, the shield is the first line of defense against the harsh cutting environment. Using genuine ESAB parts like the 0558006166 helps prevent premature nozzle failure and maintains the integrity of the torch head. This package contains five shields, allowing for scheduled maintenance cycles without interruption.

Proper gas dynamics are essential for the PT-36's performance. This 6.6mm shield is calibrated to work with specific amperage ranges and gas mixtures, ensuring that the secondary gas curtain effectively cools the nozzle and constricts the arc for deep, square cuts. Trusting OEM consumables guarantees that your equipment operates within its design parameters, safeguarding your investment in high-end plasma machinery.
