0558003852 - ESAB PT-36 Machine Torch with 12ft Leads

Product Overview

The ESAB PT-36 Mechanized Plasma Torch (SKU: 0558003852) is a premium cutting tool designed for high-precision automated applications. Engineered specifically for use with ESAB's advanced m3 Plasma™ systems, this torch assembly includes a 12-foot (3.6-meter) lead set, providing the necessary reach for various gantry and cutting table configurations. The PT-36 is renowned in the industry for its ability to deliver superior cut quality, often achieving ISO 9013 Range 3 results on mild steel.

This torch utilizes a robust liquid-cooling system, which is essential for maintaining stable operating temperatures during prolonged, high-amperage cutting sessions. Effective cooling extends the lifespan of consumables—electrodes, nozzles, and shields—thereby reducing operational costs and downtime associated with frequent changes. The "(OR)" designation in the product title refers to the specific O-ring sealing configuration used in this assembly, ensuring a leak-proof and secure connection to the power source and coolant lines.

The PT-36 is capable of handling high currents, typically rated up to 360 Amps at 100% duty cycle, making it suitable for heavy plate cutting in industrial manufacturing, shipyards, and fabrication shops. Its design incorporates precision gas flow dynamics to constrict the plasma arc, resulting in high energy density and narrow kerf widths. This specific SKU is a direct replacement or new installation unit for compatible ESAB systems requiring a 12-foot reach.
