Arc Torchology is proud to introduce the New Arc X Fume Extraction Mig Torch Series, the next generation of fume extraction Mig welding torches. Engineered to deliver unmatched welding performance, combined with a highly efficient and seamlessly integrated fume extraction system. The Arc X Series proves that you do not need to sacrifice quality or productivity for a safer welding environment.
The potential for long-term health issues due to welding fume exposure is a serious concern for the industry. Recognising that current market solutions for fume extraction often involve significant trade-offs in torch performance and usability, we undertook a comprehensive analysis of these limitations. The Arc X Series is the direct outcome of this in-depth research and development, representing a substantial improvement over existing on-torch extraction technologies. It delivers a genuine No-Compromise Solution, ensuring optimal welder safety without sacrificing the high-performance welding capabilities that Arc Torchology is known for.
Integrated Fume Extraction
The Arc X is not simply a welding torch with an extraction system bolted on. We started from the very beginning, engineering the fume extraction system as an integral part of the torch’s core functionality.
This approach prioritises both welder safety and weld quality, delivering quantifiable benefits that extend beyond health protection, including enhanced productivity and reduced operational inefficiencies.
Addressing Limitations of Conventional Fume Extraction Torches
Feedback from welding professionals has consistently highlighted certain shortcomings in traditional fume extraction torches. This can force the welder to choose between the quality of the weld, or breathing in fumes, compromising on a number of issues which impact their work:
- Excessive Bulk and Weight: Leading to welder fatigue and reduced dexterity, directly impacting welding ability. The Arc X Series counters this with optimised weight distribution and an innovative cable and hose system with support. This results in a balanced and comfortable feel that minimises strain and prevents the feeling of “dragging” the cables behind the torch.
- Poor Ergonomics: Resulting in impaired mobility and control, as well as welder discomfort. The Arc X series resolves this, designed for balance, and to provide a comfortable grip that allows the welder to manoeuvre the torch into any position. This reduces the biomechanical stress of prolonged usage.
- Potential for Shielding Gas Disturbance: A significant concern with some existing fume extraction torches is their potential to disrupt the flow of shielding gas around the weld pool. This can lease to turbulence, resulting weld porosity, and other defects. The Arc X Series has undergone extensive modelling and testing throughout the design process, engineering internal and external airflow to minimise turbulence around the weld pool.
Engineered for Performance and Usability
The Arc X Series upholds Arc Torchology’s commitment to high-performance welding torches, integrating intelligent design features that enhance both welding performance and welder experience:
- Ergonomic Interface Design: Optimised grip comfort for reduced physical strain.
- Lightweight Cable Assembly with Jointed Cable Support: Improved freedom of movement with reduced feeling of weight.
- Unobstructed View: The engineered nozzle geometry ensures effective fume capture without restricting vision of the weld whatever the welding angles.
- Easy Airflow Adjustment: An easily accessible airflow regulator switch allows for precise adjustment of extraction volume. This is designed to minimise build up of fume particles.
- Simplified Maintenance: The design allows for easy disassembly and cleaning, minimising downtime associated with routine maintenance. Joints are sealed to prevent particulate building up.
- Optimised Nozzles: Angled extraction channels mitigate particulate accumulation. Welding nozzles featuring our SIC Technology making removal of any spatter easy.
- High-Durability Consumables: Engineered for extended operational lifespan, resulting in reduced consumable expenditure and increased uptime. Last up to 3 times compared to standard consumables.
