PW18B68UC - Profax WP-18 Style Water-Cooled TIG Torch 350A

Industrial-Grade Water-Cooled TIG Performance

The Profax PW18B68UC is a high-performance water-cooled TIG torch designed for the most demanding industrial applications. Built on the robust WP-18 platform, this torch is engineered to handle high amperage welding tasks with ease, offering a rating of 350 amps DC and 260 amps AC. The water-cooling system is the core of its performance, efficiently dissipating heat to maintain a 100% duty cycle. This capability is critical for manufacturing environments where downtime for torch cooling is not an option, allowing operators to weld continuously on heavy plate, structural steel, and thick-walled pipe.

Constructed with durability in mind, the PW18B68UC features high-quality insulation and conductive materials that resist the thermal stresses of high-amperage arcs. The torch body is designed to accept standard 18-series consumables, including collets, collet bodies, gas lenses, and alumina cups. This standardization ensures that replacement parts are readily available and cost-effective, simplifying inventory management for MRO departments. The 'UC' designation in the SKU typically points to a specific configuration or connector type, ensuring versatility across different power source setups; however, users should verify the exact termination to ensure compatibility with their specific welding machine and water cooler loop.

In addition to its raw power, the torch is designed for precision. The stable arc characteristics provided by the WP-18 geometry make it suitable for critical welds where X-ray quality is required. Whether welding aluminum alloys with AC or carbon and stainless steels with DC, the Profax PW18B68UC delivers consistent current transfer and superior gas coverage. It is an essential tool for fabrication shops, shipyards, and heavy equipment manufacturing facilities requiring reliable, high-output TIG welding solutions.
