Overview Tandem welding places high demands on the entire welding equipment. The WH W800 is a technically matured, liquid-cooled torch system designed for high-power tandem MIG/MAG applications. Based on the proven WH system and available in several torch geometries, the WH W800 covers a wide range of industrial welding tasks. Three independent cooling circuits ensure stable temperature behaviour under continuous operation.
Advantages - Simple and fast maintenance
- Compatibility with standard WH cable assemblies
- Quick-action gas nozzle connection; multiple contact tip lengths available
- Optimised for power source technologies from various manufacturers
- Compact design with two separate electrical potentials for tandem operation
