The Weldcraft W-500A Automation TIG Torch Package (formerly the WP-27 Series) is a premier solution for mechanized welding environments where downtime is not an option. Engineered to withstand the rigors of high-amperage applications, this water-cooled torch system is rated for 500 Amps DC and 350 Amps AC at a full 100% duty cycle. This exceptional power capacity makes it the ideal choice for heavy fabrication, pipe mills, and automated seamers where consistent heat management is critical for weld integrity.
One of the standout features of the W-500A is its user-centric design aimed at maximizing operational efficiency. The torch body allows for tungsten loading from either the front or the back. This flexibility is a significant advantage in complex automation cells where access might be restricted, allowing operators to change tungsten electrodes quickly without dismantling the entire setup. By minimizing the time spent on consumable changeovers, the W-500A helps maintain high throughput in production lines.
Quality shielding gas coverage is paramount in TIG welding, and the W-500A addresses this with a built-in gas lens. This integrated feature streamlines the gas flow, reducing turbulence and ensuring a coherent gas column protects the weld pool. The result is a cleaner, higher-quality weld with fewer defects, reducing the need for post-weld rework. The package comes complete with a 3-foot (0.9m) rubber cable assembly, which offers superior durability and heat resistance compared to standard vinyl cables, ensuring a long service life even in harsh industrial environments.
This complete kit (SKU: WP-27A-3) includes everything needed to integrate the torch into your automation system: the W-500A torch body, a sturdy handle, power cable, gas hose, water hose, and a specialized bracket assembly for secure mounting. Whether you are upgrading from the legacy WP-27 series or outfitting a new mechanized cell, the Weldcraft W-500A delivers the reliability and performance professional fabricators demand.
