OVERVIEW

Maximize Your Automated Welding Performance

Take your automated welding setup to the next level with the Lincoln Electric PTW-18 Mechanized TIG Torch. Whether you are running a longitudinal seam welder, a circumferential lathe, or a custom automated fixture, this torch delivers the reliability and power you need. Built to handle the heat, the PTW-18 is a water-cooled powerhouse rated for 400 amps at a continuous 100% duty cycle, allowing you to weld thicker materials and longer seams without stopping to let the torch cool down.

The K52262-25 model comes ready to work with a 25-foot cable assembly, giving you plenty of reach for your machine setup. It features Lincoln's signature Twist Mate connector, which makes hooking up to compatible Lincoln TIG welders quick and hassle-free—no tools required. The mechanized barrel is designed for rigid mounting, ensuring the tungsten electrode stays precisely positioned relative to the weld joint, which is essential for achieving defect-free, high-quality welds in automated processes.

Don't let equipment limitations slow down your production. The PTW-18 uses standard, readily available consumables (collets, collet bodies, and gas lenses), so keeping your torch running is easy and affordable. The rugged cable materials are designed to resist cuts, burns, and abrasion common in shop environments. Invest in a torch that works as hard as you do and ensures your automated TIG processes run smoothly shift after shift.
