Weldcraft (Appleton, WI) is premiering the Modular Flex Complete (MFC) kits that allow welding operators to customize specific air-cooled and water-cooled TIG torches for each welding application. This minimizes torch-changeover downtime and reduces the need to stock additional inventory.
The AK-150MFC kit converts a standard WP-17 Series air-cooled TIG torch into 28 different torch styles while using the existing cable, and the AK-225MFC kit converts a single WP-225 water-cooled TIG torch package into five additional torch styles. Both kits include collets, collet bodies, nozzles, torch heads and other accessories needed to create these custom TIG torch configurations.
The AK-150MFC kit features rotatable, torch-head options to configure a TIG torch for good joint access. An easily removable head-and-coil combination unit, with silicon-rubber insulation, prevents overheating. The AK-225MFC kit provides components with similarly efficient cooling capacity for the water-cooled WP-225 TIG torch, and also features multiple, torch-head options.
Both kits include 2% ceriated tungsten to facilitate arc starting for a rage of amperage settings: .040-, 1/16- and 3/32 in. in the AK-150MFC kit, and 1/16-, 3/32- and 1/8-in. in the AK-225MFC kit. Included alumina and lava nozzles, which provide crack resistance for medium-duty TIG welding applications, are compatible with 10N, 13N and 24 Series front-end parts.
