0700300631 - ESAB TXH 201 FR Air-Cooled TIG Torch, 8m Cable, Flex Neck, Remote

Technical Overview of the ESAB TXH 201 FR

The ESAB TXH 201 FR (SKU: 0700300631) is a high-performance air-cooled TIG torch designed for professional industrial applications. Part of the renowned TXH series, this model is engineered to provide superior ergonomics and technical reliability. The 'FR' designation indicates two critical features: a Flexible neck and a Remote control integrated into the handle. This configuration is ideal for welders requiring precise control over heat input while navigating complex geometries.

Technically, the torch is rated for 200 Amps DC and 150 Amps AC at a 35% duty cycle, making it suitable for medium-duty fabrication tasks involving stainless steel, carbon steel, and aluminum. The 8-meter (approx. 26 ft) cable assembly is terminated with an OKC 50 (Dinse-style) connector, ensuring broad compatibility with ESAB power sources and other machines utilizing standard 50mm² Dinse receptacles. The cable materials are selected for flexibility and durability, resisting heat and abrasion in shop environments.

The torch head utilizes standard ESAB consumables, ensuring ease of maintenance and parts availability. The integrated remote allows the operator to adjust welding parameters (typically amperage) directly from the torch handle, reducing the need to return to the power source during operation. This feature is particularly valuable when working on large assemblies or in positions where the machine is not immediately accessible.
