Compact Weldcraft TIG Torch Series Designed for Thin Materials, Confined Spaces
APPLETON, Wis. December 14, 2006–For optimal control when welding thin gauge materials (up to 1/4 inch), Weldcraft offers its 125-amp, air cooled WP-9 torch series. This series is comprised of the WP-9, WP-9V and WP-9P torches, each of which is rated at 60-percent duty cycle at 125-amps with a DC power source and work especially well in confined areas.
To maximize operator comfort and allow access in hard-to-reach areas, the WP-9 and WP-9V torches weigh only 3 oz. (excluding the power cable) and measure 7 inches long with a 3/4 inch handle diameter. The WP-9P pencil torch offers the same lightweight body, but measures only 6-inches long and does not utilize a back cap. This model also features a 180-degree head, making it ideal for welding in especially restricted joints.
Each torch features a quick-release tungsten adjustment designed for easy adjustment of the collet and collet body assembly and fine-tuning of the tungsten extension. For TIG welding powers sources that do not include a gas solenoid, the WP-9V includes a shielding gas valve conveniently located on the handle, making it easy for welding operators to adjust shielding gas flow.
To simplify inventory and parts management within shops, the WP-9 series of torches use the same parts as Weldcraft’s WP-20 TIG torch. Each of the WP-9 torches is available with one- or two-piece power cables in 12.5, 25 and 50 foot lengths.
