ABSTRACT:
A liquid-cooled welding torch assembly for use in robotic welding that includes a body tube with a set of male connectors, the body tube guiding an electrode, and a flow of coolant to a welding tip. A supply cable adapter including a set of female connectors corresponding to the set of male connectors. At least one of the male connectors includes a rigid tube with a plurality of axially compressible and radially expandable sealing members coaxially and slidably disposed about the rigid tube, whereby the plurality of axially compressible and radially expandable sealing members expand to create a seal between the at least one of the male connectors and a corresponding one of the set of female connectors.
