0460516880 - ESAB TAF 801 AC/DC TIG Welder 440/550V

Industrial AC/DC TIG Welding Power Source

The ESAB TAF 801 is a robust and reliable welding power source designed for the rigorous demands of industrial fabrication. Engineered to operate on high-voltage single-phase power (440/550V), this machine is a staple in heavy manufacturing environments where consistent performance and durability are paramount. It utilizes proven thyristor control technology to deliver a stable arc and precise current regulation, ensuring high-quality welds across a variety of materials.

One of the standout features of the TAF 801 is its versatility. Capable of both TIG (GTAW) and Stick (SMAW) welding, it provides a comprehensive solution for workshops dealing with diverse projects. The machine offers both AC and DC output modes. The AC mode is essential for welding aluminum and its alloys, featuring square wave technology that improves arc stability and cleaning action. The DC mode is perfect for welding stainless steel, mild steel, and other ferrous metals, providing a smooth and controlled weld pool.

Operators will appreciate the control offered by the TAF 801. It typically includes features such as High Frequency (HF) ignition for contamination-free arc starting in TIG mode, as well as adjustable AC balance. This allows the welder to fine-tune the ratio of cleaning to penetration, optimizing the bead profile for the specific thickness and condition of the aluminum being welded. The machine's heavy-duty chassis is built to withstand the dust, dirt, and physical impact often found in industrial settings, ensuring a long service life with minimal downtime.

Whether you are fabricating pressure vessels, repairing heavy machinery, or performing precision aluminum work, the ESAB TAF 801 provides the power and reliability needed to get the job done. Its compatibility with 440V and 550V input power makes it specifically suited for Canadian and other industrial markets with these voltage standards.
