ESAB, a global provider of welding and cutting equipment and consumables, unveiled the industry-changing Renegade VOLT ES 200i Stick/TIG battery-powered welding system as it closed out SparkWeek, the brand’s week-long, virtual launch event highlighting new welding and fabrication products, automation and robotics solutions, and industry-shaping PPE.
ESAB collaborates with Stanley Black & Decker to launch the new Renegade Volt Battery-Powered Stick TIG Welder. Learn more about it here.
Developed in conjunction with Stanley Black & Decker and powered by four DEWALT FLEXVOLT 12 Ah (amp-hour) batteries, the Renegade VOLT marks a crossroads for the welding industry, as ESAB establishes a new product category.
“Renegade VOLT builds on the success of ESAB’s Renegade inverter-based welding platform, which offers best-of-class arc performance to meet the needs of demanding welding professionals,” said Bartosz Kutarba, global product manager, ESAB.
Renegade VOLT uses a next-generation current control module with built-in intelligence that can detect and clear a short-circuit or manage current transients faster than the microprocessor controls used on other units, minimizing spatter, and creating a stable, more controllable weld pool.
For first-time welders, a battery-powered welding machine operates on interchangeable, rechargeable power tool batteries. The VOLT is a highly portable option for off-the-grid welding across key industries like maintenance and repair, construction, shipyard, rail, power generation, offshore and farm/agriculture. The product will be available for purchase in Q1 2023.
“Up until now, welding jobs have only gone as far as the equipment could reach. Welders were stuck lugging around heavy leads, tripping over cables, and wondering what kind of power would be at the job site. Sometimes welders even spent more time on job set up and breakdown than welding,” said Olivier Biebuyck, president, EMEA and Global Products, ESAB Corporation. “Today, ESAB eliminated those constraints and ushered in a new age. This is the age of true welding freedom. No cords and heavy leads, no time-consuming setup, no engines, or fuel.”
