Panasonic Torch Consumables

Panasonic offers a range of consumables for MIG/MAG and TIG welding torches designed for industrial applications. These consumables are replaceable components intended for high-performance use.

Common Consumables by Torch Type

• MIG/MAG Torches: These torches, such as the Panasonic 200A, 350A, and 500A models, require specific consumables that ensure stable wire feeding and gas coverage.
  • Contact Tips: Guide the welding current to the wire and are available in various diameters (e.g., 0.8mm, 1.0mm, 1.2mm) to match the welding wire size.
  • Gas Nozzles: Direct the shielding gas to the weld puddle and come in different sizes and styles (e.g., conical).
  • Tip Body/Holders: Secure the contact tip in place and facilitate the connection of other parts.
  • Gas Orifice/Diffusers: Help ensure an even flow of shielding gas.
  • Inner Tubes and Liners: A tube that guides the welding wire from the feeder to the torch head; they are available for different current ratings like 200A, 350A, and 500A.
  • Torch Body: The bent tube assembly that holds the consumables and directs the wire and gas.
• TIG Torches: Consumables for TIG torches (e.g., WP9, WP17, WP26 models) focus on precise control of the arc and shielding gas.
  • Collets and Collet Bodies: Hold the tungsten electrode securely in the torch head.
  • Ceramic Nozzles / Cups: Direct the flow of argon or other shielding gas to the weld area.
  • Gas Lenses: Provide superior gas coverage, which is often preferred for high-quality welds.
  • Tungsten Electrodes: The non-consumable electrode used to create the arc (though they wear down over time).
  • Back Caps (Long/Short): Cover the back of the torch and help hold the electrode assembly in place.
