WP-23A-12-R - Weldcraft A-150 (WP-23A) Automation TIG Torch Package, 12.5ft Rubber Cable

Precision Automation with the Weldcraft A-150

The Weldcraft A-150 Automation TIG Torch Package (WP-23A-12-R) is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of high-precision automated welding environments. Designed for seamless integration into robotic cells and mechanized systems, this air-cooled torch delivers consistent performance without the complexity of water-cooling infrastructure. With a rated output of 150 Amps DC and 120 Amps AC, it provides the thermal capacity required for light-to-medium duty automated fabrication tasks, making it a staple in industries ranging from aerospace to automotive manufacturing.

Optimized for Uptime and Efficiency

In automated production, downtime is the enemy. The A-150 addresses this critical factor with its innovative tungsten loading system. Operators can load and adjust the tungsten electrode from either the front or the back of the torch. This dual-access design eliminates the need to disassemble the torch body or remove it from the mounting fixture during routine maintenance, ensuring that the tool center point (TCP) remains consistent and production resumes almost immediately. This feature alone significantly enhances overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) in high-volume environments.

Durability Meets Flexibility

The package includes a 12.5-foot (3.8 meter) rubber power cable. Unlike standard vinyl cables, this heavy-duty rubber cable offers superior resistance to heat, abrasion, and kinking. In dynamic robotic applications where cables are subject to constant bending and twisting, the flexibility of the rubber material reduces mechanical stress on the torch mount and the robot arm itself. The 1-piece cable design combines power and gas delivery into a single durable line, simplifying cable management within the cell.

Technical Specifications and Compatibility

The A-150 utilizes the widely available 2 Series consumable platform, ensuring that replacement collets, collet bodies, and nozzles are easily sourced and cost-effective. The torch body is constructed to maintain strict concentricity, a vital requirement for automated seams where deviation can lead to weld defects. Whether utilized in tube mills, orbital welding, or fixed-position automation, the Weldcraft A-150 provides the reliability and precision necessary for modern industrial fabrication.
