CK18-12SF FX - CK18 Water-Cooled Flex Head TIG Torch with 12.5ft Super Flex Cable

Heavy-Duty Water-Cooled TIG Performance

The CK Worldwide CK18-12SF-FX is a premier water-cooled TIG torch designed for rigorous industrial fabrication environments. Part of the widely used 18 Series, this torch offers a robust 350-amp output at 100% duty cycle, making it capable of handling thick aluminum and steel sections without overheating. The torch body is engineered with CK's proprietary cooling chambers, which maximize thermal transfer and ensure the handle remains cool to the touch even during prolonged welding arcs.

This specific model features a Flex Head design, allowing the operator to physically bend the neck of the torch. This adjustability is critical for pipe welding, roll cages, and complex assemblies where a fixed-head torch cannot maintain the proper tungsten angle. By adjusting the head, welders can ensure optimal gas coverage and arc stability in restricted spaces.

Equipped with a 12.5-foot Super Flex™ cable assembly, the CK18-12SF-FX addresses the common issue of cable stiffness. The power, water, and gas lines are encased in high-grade silicone with a nylon overbraid, providing exceptional flexibility and abrasion resistance. This reduces the drag force on the welder's wrist, promoting precision and reducing the risk of repetitive strain injuries. The torch utilizes standard 3-series (10N/18/26) consumables, ensuring easy parts availability and compatibility with existing shop inventory.
