Overview

Carbon dioxide (CO2): This gas is the most common of the reactive gases used in the welding process and also the least expensive of the shielding gases. It is also the only one able to be used without the addition of an inert gas. One of the biggest advantages of pure CO2 is that it provides deep weld penetration, which is useful when welding thick material. It does, however, tend to create a less stable arc and more spatter than when it is mixed with other gases, including argon. This additional spatter can lead to downtime for post-weld cleaning. Pure CO2 is also limited to use in short circuit welding processes. D/F manufactures this unique air-cooled welding gun so that the gas can be manipulated very easily. It is possible to change the height and or the angle of the gas and the amount of the gas with the externally shielded torch. This is a very heavy duty torch that is very inexpensive to operate. This air-cooled MIG machine torch with external shielding is readily adaptable to robotic welding. It is furnished completely assembled and ready for installation. The model has the feature of individual replaceable service connections to add to the durability and long life of the torch assemblies. The MAC-E - Machine, Air-Cooled Barrel is for slip-in tips, while the MAT-E - Machine, Air-Cooled Barrel is for threaded tips. Remote mounting is accomplished by an insulated mounting bracket and utilizing a casing/conduit and an adapter to the wire drive, with shielding gas accommodated by a vertical external connection.

Each D/F Machine Specialties welding gun is fully assembled and ready to install. In order to make the installation complete, the code number, wire size, wire feeder make/model (Lincoln wire feeders, Miller wire feeders, Tweco wire feeders, ESAB wire feeders, & EURO Quick Disconnect wire feeders), and inlet (as needed) must be specified when ordering. If special welding tools or accessories other than those listed previously are required, please consult with the factory. Get the right feeder adapter connection to fit your MIG wire feeder.

Utility Station #45184

45184 Utility StationThe D/F Utility Station is required for all D/F torch installations. Typical modern torch setups utilize a unitized cable assembly with a power pin. D/F torches take an alternative approach to the setup. The torches use a separate gas hose, water-in hose, Water Out & Power Cable, and casing/conduit. When one cable goes bad it is simply replaced instead of attaching an entire new unitized cable assembly; a huge cost saver! This is also where the D/F Utility Station comes into play. For D/F Air-Cooled Torches, the gas hose and power cable are interfaced with the customer's existing lines via the Utility Station. The D/F torch leads plug into the front of the Utility Station. Into the back of the Utility Station go the customer's utilities. Read more on the D/F Utility Station product page.
