OVERVIEW

Control Your Weld Settings from the Palm of Your Hand

As a welder, you know that rhythm and focus are everything. Breaking your arc to walk back to the machine just to switch settings for a vertical-up pass or a different material thickness is a hassle that kills your momentum. The ESAB RS3 Remote Switch for PSF torches is the solution to that frustration. This handy little module mounts right onto your MIG gun's handle, giving you the power to switch between three pre-set welding programs with the push of a thumb. It’s like having the front panel of your welder right in your hand.

Designed specifically for the ESAB PSF torches you already trust, the RS3 fits perfectly without making the grip feel awkward or bulky. The buttons are positioned so you can hit them easily with your gloves on, but they aren't so sensitive that you'll trigger them accidentally while maneuvering the gun. Whether you are working on a large structural piece, climbing a ladder, or squeezed into a tight spot, having remote control capability means you stay in position and keep working. It’s all about saving steps and keeping the hood down.

Imagine tackling a job where you have a hot root pass followed by a fill and cap that require different heat inputs. With the RS3, you just click to the next program and keep welding. No shouting to a helper, no walking back to the feeder. It connects seamlessly with ESAB's advanced machines like the Aristo or Origo, unlocking the full potential of your equipment. It’s a small upgrade that makes a massive difference in your daily comfort and speed.

Durability is key in our line of work, and ESAB built this switch to last. It handles the heat, the grime, and the knocks of a real shop environment. If you are running a PSF 305, 405, or 505 and your machine supports remote switching, this is the accessory you didn't know you needed but won't want to work without. Stop walking and start welding smarter with the RS3 remote.

FAQ

The RS3 is a remote switch that allows welders to toggle between 3 pre-set welding programs directly from the torch handle.

It is designed for ESAB PSF series MIG torches, including models like the PSF 305, PSF 405, and PSF 505.

No, it requires an ESAB power source capable of remote program switching, such as the Aristo or Origo series with compatible software.

The unit mounts onto the handle of the PSF torch and connects via the remote control pins/wiring integrated into the torch cable.

Yes, the buttons are designed with industrial ergonomics in mind to be operable with standard welding gloves.

The RS3 is typically a 3-step program switch (Program 1, 2, 3), not a potentiometer for continuous voltage scrolling. Other models (like RS2) may offer different functions.

Yes, the housing is built to industrial standards to resist the ingress of dust and protect against minor spatter and impact.

It fits most standard PSF handles, but it is always best to check the specific generation of your torch handle to ensure the mounting points align.
