The Tweco Supra XT VSEHD 400A Fume Extraction MIG Gun (SKU: 10401892) represents a significant advancement in welder safety and industrial hygiene. Designed for heavy-duty fabrication environments, this torch integrates high-capacity fume extraction directly into the welding gun, capturing hazardous particulate and smoke at the source—the arc itself. By removing fumes before they reach the welder's breathing zone, the Supra XT VSEHD helps facilities comply with strict air quality regulations while protecting the long-term health of their workforce. This model features a 15-foot cable assembly, providing ample reach for working around large assemblies and fixtures.
At the heart of this gun's performance is the Tweco Velocity consumable system. Unlike traditional threaded contact tips, Velocity tips feature a threadless, drop-in design with a larger surface area for electrical contact. This innovation keeps the tip cooler, extends consumable life, and ensures a more stable arc, even at high amperages. The "VSEHD" designation indicates a Velocity Smoke Extraction Heavy Duty setup, optimized to withstand the heat of 400-amp welding while maintaining efficient airflow for smoke removal. The gas flow paths are engineered to ensure that the suction required for fume extraction does not disrupt the shielding gas envelope, preventing porosity and weld defects.
Despite the added functionality of the vacuum hose, the Supra XT handle is engineered for comfort. It features an ergonomic grip and a swivel knuckle connection that reduces the torque transferred to the welder's wrist, minimizing fatigue during extended use. The gun is equipped with a standard Euro-Kwik connector, making it instantly compatible with a vast range of European-style wire feeders and power sources commonly found in global manufacturing. The outer cable jacket is reinforced, often with a leather or durable sheath, to resist cuts, burns, and abrasion in harsh shop environments. Whether welding mild steel, stainless, or aluminum, this tool delivers the power of a 400A gun with the essential protection of source capture technology.
