The CK Worldwide CK26-12-2SF FX is a premium air-cooled TIG torch engineered for heavy-duty fabrication and maintenance applications. Rated at 200 Amps for both ACHF (Alternating Current High Frequency) and DCSP (Direct Current Straight Polarity), this torch provides robust welding power without the complexity of a water-cooling system. The defining feature of this model is its Flex Head assembly, which allows the operator to bend the torch neck up to 40 degrees from the centerline. This articulation capability is essential for accessing difficult angles and obstructed weld joints where a rigid torch cannot maintain the proper tungsten angle.
Distinct from standard industry torches, CK Worldwide utilizes a brass head construction rather than copper. Brass offers superior hardness and durability, effectively eliminating common issues such as thread seizing, stripping, or galling that frequently plague copper heads over time. The torch body is encased in high-grade silicon rubber insulation, offering exceptional resistance to cracking and providing the best available protection against high-frequency leakage. This ensures operator safety and prevents arc instability caused by insulation breakdown.
This specific configuration (CK26-12-2SF FX) includes a 12.5-foot 2-Piece Super-Flex cable assembly. The 2-piece design separates the power conductor from the gas hose, a configuration often preferred for specific power source connections or field repair scenarios. The Super-Flex cables are manufactured with lightweight silicone hose and high-strand-count copper, resulting in a cable that is significantly lighter and more flexible than traditional rubber or vinyl cables. The torch utilizes the industry-standard 3 Series consumable platform, making it compatible with widely available collets, collet bodies, and gas lenses used in 17, 18, and 26 series torches.
