The Miller Weldcraft W-180 TIG Torch Package (SKU: WP-24W-25-R) represents a specialized solution for industrial welding applications requiring high amperage in restricted environments. Formerly known as the WP-24W, this torch is engineered to deliver 180 Amps of DC welding output (115 Amps AC) while maintaining an exceptionally compact form factor. The package includes a 25-foot braided rubber power cable, ensuring robust durability and resistance to abrasion in harsh industrial settings.
The W-180 is distinguished by its unique body design, which is among the smallest water-cooled TIG torches on the market. This compact profile allows operators to access tight joints and confined areas often found in aerospace, shipbuilding, and precision fabrication. Despite its small size, the efficient around-the-head water cooling system prevents overheating, enabling continuous operation at rated capacities without compromising the integrity of the torch or the comfort of the welder.
Constructed for longevity, the WP-24W-25-R features high-quality components designed to withstand the rigors of daily use. The 3-piece braided rubber cable assembly offers superior flexibility compared to standard vinyl cables, reducing wrist strain and improving maneuverability. The rigid head design ensures consistent electrode alignment, while the absence of a gas valve on the torch body streamlines the profile for maximum accessibility. This torch utilizes standard 8 Series consumables, making parts procurement and inventory management straightforward for maintenance departments.
The torch is rated for 180A DC and 115A AC, making it suitable for welding a variety of materials including aluminum, stainless steel, and mild steel. The water-cooling mechanism is essential for maintaining these amperage levels in such a small package, effectively dissipating heat to protect both the internal components and the operator's hand. This package is an ideal choice for MRO operations, petrochemical maintenance, and high-precision manufacturing lines.
