OVERVIEW

Reliable Automation for Continuous Production

Upgrade your automated welding line with the Weldcraft W-250 Automation TIG Torch Kit, the direct successor to the trusted WP-22A. When your shop relies on mechanized welding, downtime is the enemy. The W-250 is built to keep your operation running smoothly with a rugged water-cooled design that handles up to 250 Amps of DC output. Whether you are welding stainless steel tubing, precision aerospace parts, or high-volume aluminum components, this torch provides the cooling power necessary to weld all day without skipping a beat.

We know that setting up an automated cell can be a hassle, especially when it comes to changing out tungsten. The W-250 solves this headache with its smart front-or-back tungsten loading system. If your torch is mounted in a tight spot or surrounded by clamps, you can simply load the tungsten from the back, saving you from having to dismantle the entire setup. This feature alone can save countless hours over the life of the torch. Plus, since it uses standard 2 Series consumables, you likely already have the parts you need in your tool crib.

This complete kit comes ready to install with a 12.5-foot vinyl cable assembly that includes your power, gas, and water lines. The vinyl covering offers excellent protection against abrasion and shop grime, ensuring your cables last as long as the torch itself. The W-250 isn't just a replacement; it's an upgrade in reliability. With its consistent arc stability and heavy-duty construction, you can trust the W-250 to deliver perfect welds, part after part, shift after shift. Get the performance your shop deserves with a torch designed specifically for the demands of automation.
