WP-27B-12 - W-500B Automation TIG Torch Kit 500A Water-Cooled

Reliable Automation for High-Demand Welding

The Weldcraft W-500B Automation TIG Torch Kit is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of mechanized welding environments. Formerly known as the WP-27 Series, this W-500 Automation Series torch is built to withstand continuous operation while delivering consistent, high-quality welds. Whether you are running high-amperage production lines or precision low-amperage applications, the W-500B provides the stability and thermal management required for modern industrial automation.

Designed with the operator and maintenance team in mind, this torch package minimizes downtime through smart engineering. The torch body features both front and back tungsten loading areas, allowing for rapid electrode changes without dismantling the entire setup. This feature is critical in automated cells where every minute of downtime impacts overall throughput. The included 12.5-foot rubber cable assembly ensures durability and flexibility within the machine's working envelope.

The kit comes complete with the W-500B torch body, a durable handle, and a robust 3-piece cable set including power cable, gas hose, and water hose. Its water-cooled design ensures that the torch remains at optimal operating temperatures even during prolonged welding cycles at up to 500 amps DC. This thermal efficiency not only protects the equipment but also ensures consistent conductivity and arc stability.

By integrating a built-in gas lens, the W-500B improves gas coverage significantly compared to standard collet bodies. This results in minimized shielding gas turbulence and superior weld quality, reducing the likelihood of defects and rework. For facilities seeking a dependable, high-output solution for their mechanized TIG welding operations, the Weldcraft W-500B is the industry standard for performance and longevity.
