WP-22A-12 - Weldcraft W-250 Automation TIG Torch Kit, 12.5ft Water-Cooled

High-Performance Mechanized Welding Solution

The Weldcraft W-250 Automation TIG Torch Kit (formerly known as the WP-22A) is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of continuous, high-precision mechanized welding applications. Designed as a robust water-cooled system, the W-250 delivers consistent thermal management, allowing for a rated output of 250 Amps DC and 180 Amps AC at 100% duty cycle. This thermal efficiency is critical for automated manufacturing environments where equipment must operate uninterrupted for extended periods without overheating or degradation of the consumable components.

One of the defining technical features of the W-250 is its versatile tungsten loading capability. Operators and setup technicians can load the tungsten electrode from either the front or the back of the torch. This dual-access design is particularly advantageous in complex fixture setups where the front of the torch may be inaccessible or where rapid electrode changes are required to maintain production throughput. The torch utilizes the widely available 2 Series (13N) consumables, ensuring that replacement collets, collet bodies, and nozzles are easily sourced and compatible with existing inventory for 20-series style torches.

The package includes a durable 12.5-foot (3.8-meter) cable assembly encased in high-quality vinyl. This 3-piece cable configuration separates the power, water, and gas lines, providing flexibility and reducing the risk of cross-contamination or leakage. The power cable is engineered to withstand the mechanical stress of automated movement while maintaining optimal electrical conductivity. By integrating the W-250 into your mechanized welding system, you ensure a stable, high-quality arc and reliable performance that meets the stringent quality control standards of modern industrial fabrication.
