1726 - Weldcraft 1726 70-Degree Modular TIG Head 200A

Product Overview

The Weldcraft 1726 Modular Torch Head is a critical component for industrial TIG welding operations utilizing the Weldcraft Modular Series torch systems. Engineered by Miller Electric under the Weldcraft brand, this specific head features a 70-degree angle, which is the industry standard for general-purpose welding, offering a balance between ergonomic comfort and tungsten accessibility. The unit is rated for 200 Amps, making it suitable for a wide range of medium-to-heavy duty welding applications when paired with an appropriate torch body and cooling system.

Technical Compatibility

Designed specifically for the modular torch ecosystem, the 1726 head is directly compatible with WP-225, WP-150, WP-150V, WP-200, WP-200V, and SF-225 torch bodies. This interchangeability allows operators to configure their welding equipment for specific joint geometries without the need to purchase entirely new torch assemblies. The head utilizes standard 3-Series (17/18/26 series) consumables, ensuring that collets, collet bodies, and gas cups are readily available and easily sourced, reducing inventory complexity for MRO managers.

Construction and Performance

Manufactured from high-grade copper alloys, the 1726 head is built to withstand the thermal stresses associated with 200A welding currents. The robust construction ensures efficient heat transfer away from the front end, prolonging the life of the consumables and the head itself. The threaded connection point is precision-machined to ensure a tight, conductive seal with the torch body, minimizing electrical resistance and preventing gas leakage. Whether utilized in aerospace fabrication, pipe welding, or general manufacturing, this modular head provides the reliability and performance expected from professional-grade welding equipment.

Application Scenarios

This rigid 70-degree head is ideal for bench work where the operator maintains a consistent position relative to the workpiece. It is also effective for pipe welding applications where a standard angle allows for proper walking of the cup. By integrating this head into a modular toolkit, facilities can maintain high uptime and adaptability, quickly switching between the 1726 (70-degree) and other angled heads as production requirements shift.
