Contact Tip 1.0mm x 10 M6 x 28mm Long In recent years guidelines laid down by the European Standard EN60974-7 have served to harmonise global understanding of MIG welding torch performance. The ratings of European torches were traditionally based on a 5-minute cycle where a 60% duty cycle was defined as 3 minutes weld time and 2 minutes downtime. American torches were traditionally rated over a 10-minute cycle where a 60% duty cycle represents 6 minutes weld time and 4 minutes downtime. The new standards have resulted in the duty cycles of many European torch brands being downgraded in performance due to the extended welding period. Competitive pressures have also resulted in MIG torches becoming disposable items and while the user may save on initial cost, the loss of performance and durability is ultimately false economy. Duty cycles quoted by some manufacturers are at best misleading and often fictitious. In line with EN60974-7 a duty cycle of a torch specifies the number of minutes within a 10-minute period during which a welder can operate at a particular welding current and voltage. The XP8 air cooled torch models are rated at 80% and will weld continuously for 8 minutes at their given ratings. The XP8 water-cooled torches are rated at 100% duty cycle and will weld continuously. In order to provide a more precise method of selecting the correct torch required for a given application and process we now quote the maximum rated output in kilowatts for each XP8 torch, an industry first.
Patented Gas Flow Technology The shielding gas in the XP8 is put to work to improve the cooling effect of the torch neck and front end consumable parts. On entering the rear of the neck the gas is separated from the conduit to flow directly over heat sink fins contained in the copper conductor before emerging at the base of the tip adaptor to directly force cool the contact tip. Extended Consumable Life Expectancy Superior materials combined with stringent design and performance criteria have resulted in an entire range of consumables with dramatically improved life expectancy.
