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

Heavy-Duty ESAB TAF 801 TIG/Stick Welder

Equip your shop with the ESAB TAF 801, a powerhouse AC/DC TIG and Stick welder built for serious industrial applications. This machine is designed to tackle the toughest welding challenges, offering the flexibility to weld a wide range of metals including aluminum, magnesium, stainless steel, and carbon steel. With its specific 440/550V single-phase input configuration, it integrates seamlessly into industrial facilities equipped with high-voltage power grids.

Superior Aluminum Welding: The TAF 801 excels in aluminum welding applications thanks to its square wave AC output. Unlike traditional sine wave machines, the square wave output provides a more stable arc and faster transitions through the zero-amperage point, reducing arc outages and improving weld quality. The adjustable AC balance control gives you the power to manage the cleaning action on the oxide layer versus the heat input into the base material, resulting in cleaner, stronger welds with excellent aesthetics.

Reliable Thyristor Technology: At the heart of the TAF 801 is robust thyristor-controlled circuitry. This solid-state technology is renowned for its reliability and longevity, making it a preferred choice for environments where equipment must perform day in and day out. It delivers smooth arc characteristics for both TIG and Stick welding, ensuring excellent fusion and bead appearance. For Stick welding, the machine provides the necessary arc force to handle various electrode types, making it a versatile tool for maintenance and repair operations.

Industrial Ready: This unit is not a hobbyist machine; it is a dedicated industrial workhorse. From its durable casing to its high duty cycle capabilities, every aspect of the TAF 801 is engineered for professional use. It supports High Frequency starts for TIG, eliminating the need for scratch starting and preventing tungsten contamination. If you need a welder that combines the classic durability of ESAB engineering with the performance required for modern industrial standards, the TAF 801 is the answer.
