Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding is a popular and widely used welding method in the manufacturing industry. One of the applications of TIG welding is the Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) method. WAAM is a welding method that utilizes an electric arc welding process with an additional wire feeder. A TIG-WAAM machine consists of components such as a TIG power source, welding torch, wire feeder, and control system to regulate welding parameters. Therefore, the welding torch is an important component in this research on welding. The design in this research will then be analyzed through analytical calculations and simulations using Autodesk Inventor 2021 software to verify the construction of the TIG welding machine can withstand the load of the designed welding torch. This research will primarily focus on the strength of the TIG welding machine's construction to withstand the load after the welding torch is designed and then compare the results with the simulation calculations using Inventor software. Analytical load calculations are essential to ensure the safety and strength of the equipment in performing its function. The results of the Von Mises stress through analytical and simulation before welding torch is 1,49 MPa and 0,24 MPa. Meanwhile, the analytical and simulation after welding torch are 0,167 MPa and 0,27 MPa.
