WP-22A-3 - Weldcraft W-250 Automation TIG Torch Kit, 3ft Water-Cooled

Miller Weldcraft W-250 Mechanized TIG Torch Kit

Maximize the efficiency of your automated welding cells with the Miller Weldcraft W-250 Automation TIG Torch Kit. Engineered to meet the stringent demands of continuous mechanized applications, the W-250 (formerly the WP-22A) is a water-cooled powerhouse capable of delivering 250 Amps of DC welding output and 180 Amps on AC. Its superior cooling capacity allows for 100% duty cycle operation at rated amperages, preventing torch overheating that can lead to inconsistent arcs and premature component failure.

Designed for Automation
The W-250 is not just a modified handheld torch; it is built from the ground up for machine mounting. The torch body is designed to be securely held by automation fixtures, ensuring precise tip positioning and repeatability. A standout feature for high-volume fabricators is the versatile tungsten loading system. Operators can access the tungsten from the front or the back of the torch. This flexibility means you can perform routine maintenance and electrode changes quickly, minimizing the downtime of your expensive automation equipment.

Complete 3-Foot Package
This kit, model WP-22A-3, comes ready to install with a 3-foot (0.9m) cable set. The vinyl cables are lightweight yet durable, providing the necessary flexibility for machine movement without the bulk of longer standard cables. The kit includes the torch body, a heavy-duty power cable, a gas hose, and a water hose. The 3-piece cable design separates the power conductor from the gas and water lines, which is a traditional and reliable configuration for high-performance water-cooled TIG setups.

Consumable Compatibility
The W-250 is compatible with the widely available 2 Series consumable parts. This allows shops to utilize existing inventory of collets, gas lenses, and cups that might be shared with other 20-series handheld torches in the facility. By combining robust construction, smart maintenance features, and standard consumable compatibility, the W-250 is the ideal choice for upgrading or maintaining your mechanized TIG welding operations.
