AK125C - Weldcraft AK125C Micro TIG Accessory Kit with Ceriated Tungsten

Technical Overview: Weldcraft AK125C for W-125 Series

The Weldcraft AK125C is the OEM accessory kit designated for the W-125 Micro Series water-cooled TIG torches (formerly known as the Micro-TIG). This comprehensive package provides the necessary consumables to utilize the full amperage range and versatility of the W-125 torch body. It is specifically engineered to maintain the compact profile of the micro-torch while ensuring efficient current transfer and gas coverage.

Component Specifications

The kit is built around a system of interchangeable chucks and collets that allow for rapid reconfiguration of the torch front end. It includes:

• Chucks: Three distinct angles (180°, 45°, and 90°) are provided to facilitate welding in restricted access areas. These chucks securely hold the tungsten and collet assembly, maintaining electrical contact and thermal transfer.
• Collet Bodies: The kit supplies three collet bodies sized for 1/16" (1.6mm), 3/32" (2.4mm), and 1/8" (3.2mm) electrodes, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of amperage settings suitable for the W-125.
• Glass Nozzles: Specialized glass nozzles are included to provide shielding gas coverage without obstructing the operator's view of the arc, a critical requirement for micro-TIG applications.

Consumable Details

Included in the AK125C are three 7-inch Ceriated Tungsten electrodes (AWS Class EWCe-2). Ceriated tungsten contains approximately 2% cerium oxide and is a non-radioactive alternative to thoriated tungsten. It offers excellent arc starting performance at low amperages and is suitable for both DCEN welding of carbon and stainless steels and AC welding on advanced inverter power sources. The inclusion of these specific electrodes highlights the kit's focus on precision, low-to-medium amperage applications typical of the W-125 torch series.

This kit serves as a complete maintenance and setup solution, ensuring that operators have all necessary genuine Weldcraft parts to configure their W-125 torch for immediate use.
