ABSTRACT:
A multi-torch interface allowing substantially immediate selection of one of a plurality of TIG welding torches. The interface may be retrofitted to an existing TIG welding system by attaching torch cables and inputs to the torches to a separate interface housing A series of valves and adapters within this housing are coupled to sources of current, inert gas, and coolant fluid and are actuated manually to allow for easy switching from one torch to another quickly and safely without tools. Alternatively, such an interface and series of valves, switches and adapters are incorporated within a TIG welding machine cabinet or power source and controlled by a ganged assemblage of switches and valves which are simultaneously actuated.
