MILLER - WELDCRAFT WP-9 Air-cooled Torch Body A-125

Miller Weldcraft WP-9 air cooled torch body is designed to efficiently dissipate heat generated during the welding operation. This torch uses ambient air and shielding gas for cooling during TIG welding, eliminating the need for external water sources and hoses.

Features:

• Miller Weldcraft WP-9 air cooled torch body features a unique pencil-style design which lacks a back cap for easy access to tight and confined welding spaces.
• This torch body has a rigid neck, enhancing stability and control during TIG welding (GTAW) operations.
• It offers an impressive 60% duty cycle, ensuring extended periods of continuous welding without overheating or performance degradation.
• This torch's ergonomic design allows reduced fatigue for users over an extended period of operation.

Compatible Accessories:

• Miller Weldcraft 13N10 Alumina Nozzle: This regular nozzle is used in TIG torch configurations for effectively directing shielding gas towards the welding pool.
• Miller Weldcraft 13N25 Collet Body: This collet body is equipped with side holes, through which they release shielding gas into the nozzle during the welding process.
• Miller Weldcraft 95795S Gas Lens: It is also known as a gas diffuser for superior shielding gas coverage to the weld pool compared to standard gas lenses. It features mesh screens that effectively diminish turbulence within the shielding gas stream upon its release into the nozzle, promoting even distribution across the weld pool.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. What is the difference between air-cooled and water-cooled TIG torches?

A. The primary difference between air-cooled and water-cooled TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) torches lies in their cooling methods. Air-cooled torches dissipate heat using ambient air, making them lighter, more portable, and simpler to set up, but they are suitable for lower-amperage welding due to limited cooling capacity. In contrast, water-cooled torches use a water circulation system for enhanced heat dissipation, allowing them to handle higher amperages and longer welding durations, making them ideal for industrial applications but requiring additional equipment and maintenance due to the water-cooling system.

Q. How do I clean this air-cooled torch body?

A. To clean the torch body, first disconnect it from the power source for safety. Next, employ a clean, dry cloth or compressed air to eliminate any dust or debris. If you encounter stubborn residues, consider lightly moistening the cloth with isopropyl alcohol for gentle cleaning. Be cautious not to use abrasive materials that may harm the torch's surface.

Q. What maintenance does Miller WP-9 torch body require?

A. Routine maintenance involves a thorough examination of cables, connections, and hoses for any signs of wear or damage. It's crucial to promptly replace any worn components to uphold safety and performance standards. Furthermore, be diligent in checking for loose fittings and ensuring adequate insulation to mitigate the risk of electrical problems.
