Weldcraft has launched the WP-26 family of handheld air-cooled torches to improve durability and comfort on continuous, heavy duty TIG welding applications. The WP-26 family consists of five torch models, including flex-neck, valved and pencil-style version. All WP-26 torches are rated to 200A DC or 150A AC at 60 per cent duty cycle.The WP-26 torches feature reliable air-cooling capabilities that are said to eliminate the need and expense of water-cooled systems, along with heavy duty copper construction that provides maximum conductivity and durability under demanding conditions. Models with an optional gas control valve on the handle (WP-26V and WP-26FV) allow welding operators to tune in the ideal gas flow for superior weld puddle coverage.
Optional flexible neck models (WP-26F and WP-26FV) adjust to any angle, making them ideal for awkward positioning and difficult-to-access joints. A pencil-style torch (WP-26P) is also available for very confined joints, or for automated applications. Each WP-26 torch can accommodate tungsten electrodes from 0.020in-5/32in (0.5-4.0mm). A variety of accessories, including cable covers, conversion kits and power cable adaptors, are also available for each WP-26 torch.
