Quick FIXed automation series torches Figure 2-1: QF Series (Air-cooled) Art # JB-00006 QF Series Water/ Air-cooled Torch Body and Cable Assembly The QFW cable assembly is a hybrid using QTRW63, QTRW64, or QTRW66 water-cooled conductor tubes but it utilizes an air-cooled power cable assembly rated up to 600 amperes @ 80% duty cycle. If water flow is interrupted, amperage rating is decreased.
Quick fixed automation series torches SECTION 3: INSTALLATION AND DISASSEMBLY 3.01 Installation Figure 3-2: Conductor Tube Installation 1. Remove the torch and cable assembly from the carton, and lay the assembly in a straight and untwisted position on a workbench or floor. 2. Check to ensure all items shown in Figure 2-1 & 2-2 on Page 2-5 are located and identified.

For Miller® style rear connector plug, re-install the threaded connector plug nipple. This connection should be wrench tight. 17. Re-insert the factory-supplied 5/32” T-handle allen wrench into the hole for the “Conduit Set Screw” on the front handle cap and rotate the set screw clockwise. The set screw should be hand tight.
Quick fixed automation series torches CAUTION Operating a water-cooled torch and cable assembly without water or restricted flow will result in damage to the cable assembly. 24. The torch and cable assembly is furnished with a purge hose than can be used to supply inert gas and or antispatter through the torch block and conductor tube assembly. To use this purge hose, remove the plastic plug and connect accordingly. 25. The torch is now ready to place into operation. 3.02 Disassembly 1.
Quick FIXed automation series torches SECTION 4: WATER-COOLED TORCH BODY AND CABLE ASSEMBLY The water-cooled torch and cable assemblies incorporate water shut-off valves allowing the conductor tube to be removed without shutting off the water supply. This reduces the chance of introducing moisture into the conductor tube and conduit. Refer to Figure 4-1 showing the water shut-off valves on the QFW Series Torch Body and Cable Assembly.
Quick fixed automation series torches SECTION 5: MAINTENANCE The torch and conductor tube assemblies have o-rings for seals. Lubrication of these o-rings should be done periodically and periodical inspections should be made to ensure that the o-rings do not de-grade, allowing water and/or shielding gas leaks to occur. When removing the conductor tube from the torch assembly, be sure the single o-ring located in the bottom of the hole remains in place. Contact tips and nozzles should be cleaned frequently.
