D/F Tube Mill Water-Cooled Automatic TIG Barrel - Short Ceramic TM500-CN

The D/F Machine Specialties TM500-CN (Tube Mill) Top Load TIG Automated Machine Barrel is intended for semi-automatic or automatic machine applications of the tungsten inert arc process. The barrel accommodates top load of tungsten with a tubular dual collet design providing clamping pressure at two points.

This water-cooled automated TIG barrel has the unique feature of the nozzle assembly water passages being serially connected to the inner body water chamber by means of sliding removable connectors. This allows ease of maintenance and eliminates the use of "O" rings or gaskets in the water passage system.

D/F Nozzles (also called gas cups) provide a given amount of shielding gas coverage to the weld pool, according to their size (anywhere from 1/4- to 5/8-inch ID). For example, a smaller nozzle provides less gas coverage than a larger one. Nozzles also vary in price and performance.

The most cost effective are 90 or 95 percent alumina oxide nozzles, which work adequately for lower amperage applications. These nozzles, however, do not resist thermal shock on higher amperage applications very well and tend to deteriorate or crack and fall off.

Lava nozzles cost more than alumina oxide nozzles and are more resistant to cracking. These nozzles work well on medium to high amperage applications.

The bottom line when choosing TIG consumables is to look for factory OEM parts that provide you with the durability and performance you need. A wide variety of options exist for back caps, collets and collet bodies, gas lenses and nozzles, all of which offer distinct advantages, disadvantages and cost considerations. For less critical applications, the less expensive alumina nozzles provide adequate performance. However, if you need high performance, it is well worth your while to purchase more expensive, long-lasting lava nozzles or cups. Doing so minimizes the chance of consumable failures that could ultimately increase the cost for rework associated with weld inconsistencies.
