American Weldquip, Sharon Center, Ohio recently introduced a new enhancement to its “Cool Grip” water-cooled semi-automatic line up.  All water-cooled “Cool-Grip” semi-automatic torches will now be manufactured and shipped standard with a built-in water flow switch.  

The integrated flow switch protects the torch and components against low or no water flow conditions.  If low flow is detected the trigger circuit is deactivated.  80% of water-cooled torch repairs are due to compromised water-cooled power cables because of the lack of water flow.  Most of the time this is ends up being an expensive repair. This new standard feature form American Weldquip, along with an anti-stretch cord to prevent pulling apart of cable assemblies, help end-users avoid costly repairs and downtime.   

 

American Weldquip introduces a simplified, unique Nozzle Conditioner and Anti-Spatter bulk feed solution.  No more having to go into a robotic cell to change your anti-spatter fluid. The bulk feed system is designed to be mounted on the outside of the welding cell.  It can be hung on the cell wall screen, bolted to a solid wall or simply hung on the top of the cell wall rail. 

Plus, the 5 gallon supply gives you extended time between refills. Changeover of refills takes seconds.  Simply disconnect to supply hose from the on/off valve, lift and remove the 5-gallon Cubetainer from the hanger, install the new 5 gallon Cubetainer and reattach to hose to the (NEW) valve assembly and turn on.
