American Torch Tip Co., The

From its inception, American Torch Tip recognized the fact, that in order to be successful, quality had to be well established and maintained. This meant studying the parts made by every competitor, then improving upon them, making them better than the original. To accomplish this, the company acquired the best computer aided production equipment and hired the most skilled employees. Today, almost all the parts are CNC machined to very precise tolerances. Assembly is carefully monitored. Product quality is further enhanced and maintained by process control, statistical batch analysis and 100% inspection of consumable parts for critical characteristics. American Torch Tip now offers replacement parts for Oxy-fuel, MIG, TIG, Plasma, Thermal Spray and Laser cutting and welding equipment. The company also develops many custom products for major manufacturers. There are many types of welding and cutting applications, each requiring its own special torch tip. There are also many different kinds of welding processes, each using its own special equipment, replacement parts and consumables. In designing, developing and producing any torch tip, special attention must be paid to critical parameters and tolerances. For instance, while the orifice size is important, maintaining the smoothness or finish of the bore is equally important to insure a proper flame cone. To maintain this kind of consistent quality across a broad range of products, American Torch Tip engineers and manufactures many of their own automation and testing equipment bringing the company into state of the art technology through innovation and forward thinking processes.
