K52229-25 - Lincoln Electric PTW-18M-500 Water-Cooled Machine TIG Torch 25ft

Heavy-Duty Mechanized TIG Welding Solution

The Lincoln Electric PTW-18M-500 Mechanized TIG Torch (K52229-25) is a premium industrial tool designed for high-amperage automated welding applications. Engineered to meet the rigorous demands of continuous production environments, this torch delivers consistent performance and exceptional durability. At Josef Gas, we understand that automated welding cells require components that minimize downtime, and the PTW-18M-500 is built exactly for that purpose.

This water-cooled torch is rated at a massive 500 Amps at 100% duty cycle, ensuring it remains cool and operational even during prolonged welding shifts. The effective water-cooling system not only protects the torch body but also extends the life of your consumables, reducing maintenance frequency and operational costs. The 25-foot (7.6 meter) cable assembly provides significant reach, allowing for flexible integration into various machine setups, gantries, or side-beam carriages.

Reliability for Automation

The "M" in PTW-18M signifies its mechanized design. Unlike handheld torches, this unit features a straight, robust barrel specifically crafted for secure mounting in fixture clamps or torch oscillators. This ensures precise electrode positioning and repeatable weld quality, which is critical for automated fabrication. Whether you are welding thick-walled pipe, pressure vessels, or heavy structural components, the PTW-18M-500 provides the stability and power transfer needed for defect-free welds.

Standard Compatibility

Maintenance is simplified thanks to the torch's compatibility with standard 18-series TIG consumables. You can easily source collets, collet bodies, gas lenses, and nozzles without needing proprietary parts. This versatility makes it an excellent choice for shops looking to standardize their inventory while upgrading their automated welding capabilities. Trust Josef Gas to supply high-quality Lincoln Electric equipment that keeps your production line moving efficiently.
