MR116C - CK Worldwide MR116C 1/16-inch Micro Torch Collet Body

Optimize Your Micro TIG Torch Performance

For welders utilizing the compact power of CK Worldwide's Micro Series torches, the CK MR116C 1/16" Collet Body is an essential component for your consumable kit. Designed to fit the MR70 and MR140 torches, this collet body plays a pivotal role in the functionality of your welding setup. It acts as the interface between the torch power cable and the tungsten electrode, delivering the welding current necessary to establish and maintain the arc. In micro-welding applications, even the slightest inconsistency in current transfer or tungsten positioning can result in a failed weld, making high-quality consumables like the MR116C indispensable.

The MR116C is crafted with the welder's need for reliability in mind. Its 1/16-inch bore is precision-drilled to accommodate standard 1.6mm tungsten electrodes without binding or slop. This tight tolerance ensures that the tungsten remains centered, which is critical for directing the arc exactly where it is needed in tight spaces or on minute joints. The copper alloy material is selected for its durability and resistance to the intense heat cycles experienced during welding, ensuring that the threads remain intact and the body retains its shape over time.

Installation is straightforward, fitting seamlessly into the Micro Series torch head assembly. When paired with the appropriate collet and gas cup, the MR116C facilitates smooth laminar gas flow, protecting the weld pool from atmospheric contamination. For industries such as medical device manufacturing, jewelry repair, and tool and die maintenance, the CK MR116C provides the consistency required for repeatable, high-quality results. Don't compromise on your micro-welds; ensure your torch is equipped with genuine CK parts.

Application Versatility

While small in size, the MR116C handles the demands of professional use. It is compatible with both the air-cooled MR70 and water-cooled MR140, making it a versatile stock item for shops running these specialized torches. Keep your downtime to a minimum and your weld quality high by keeping fresh collet bodies on hand.
