Ck
Worldwide's Gas Saver™ front-end kit allows the users to save up to 40% of
shield gas consumption while providing better shield gas coverage
patterns. With better shielding gas coverage patterns the welder can
extend the tungsten up to 6 x the diameter of the electrode beyond the
edge of the gas cup. (This is achieved in draft free areas using
argon gas.)
Alumina
push on or Pyrex high temperature glass cups are available. Alumina
cups are durable, impact resistant and handle high temperature welding
applications. Pyrex glass cups are used in applications where
visibility is an issue such as inside corners, inside pipe, around tubing,
etc.
The
Gas Saver kits will retrofit 2 series (CK9, CK20) and 3 series (CK17,
CK18, CK26) torches or competitive brand equivalents using a replaceable
white Teflon heat shield on a silicon rubber torch body. |
The CK
Large Diameter Gas Saver™ front end is used to provide an
inert atmosphere for the welding of reactive metals such
as titanium, molybdenum, nickel-based and aluminum based
alloys, as well as non-reactive metals like stainless
steel. This design is lightweight, allowing for operator
comfort and accurate control. The front end also uses a
clear Pyrex cup creating excellent visibility of the
weld puddle. The clear cup features an inside diameter
of 1 1/8” (28.57mm) which is the largest cup orifice
available on the market today. This design offers a
replaceable, interchangeable tungsten adapter; and a
universal collet body, creating less inventory, and
allowing inexpensive screen replacement. Tungsten
stick-out can be up to 2” (50.8mm) in certain
conditions. This kit allows welders to weld low amperage
Titanium without a trailing shield. Great for tack
welding outside of an inert chamber and repairs of small
cracks.
