0705002023 - ESAB Rogue ET 201iP PRO DC TIG/Stick Inverter Welder

Technical Overview of the ESAB Rogue ET 201iP PRO

The ESAB Rogue ET 201iP PRO is a robust, high-performance inverter-based welding machine designed for professional DC TIG (GTAW) and Stick (SMAW) applications. Engineered with advanced power electronics, this unit features Power Factor Correction (PFC), which ensures high energy efficiency and a stable welding arc even when connected to long extension cables (up to 100 meters) or fluctuating power grids. The machine operates on dual voltage inputs (115V/230V), automatically detecting the supply voltage to provide optimal output performance.

Control and precision are central to the Rogue ET 201iP PRO's design. The interface allows for comprehensive adjustment of TIG parameters, including gas pre-flow, start current, ramp-up time, ramp-down time, finish current, and post-flow. Operators can select between 2-stroke and 4-stroke trigger modes to suit specific welding tasks. A key technical feature is the pulsed TIG functionality, offering a frequency range of 0.1 to 500 Hz. This high-speed pulsing capability significantly improves heat input control, reducing the heat-affected zone (HAZ) and minimizing distortion on thin stainless steel and mild steel components.

In Stick mode, the machine utilizes a specialized Pulse SMAW function. This feature is particularly beneficial for positional welding and bridging gaps, as it provides a cooler weld pool and greater arc stability. The unit also includes adjustable Hot Start and Arc Force settings, allowing the operator to fine-tune the arc characteristics for different electrode types, such as E6010 or E7018. Housed in a durable, glass-fiber reinforced molded case with an IP23S rating, the Rogue ET 201iP PRO is built to withstand impact and weather, making it suitable for both workshop and field environments.
