EN-US
Principle The cleaning device is intended to auto-
matically clean MIG/MAG welding torches.
The cleaning device can be used to reliably
clean the inside of gas nozzles and the face
of the gas nozzles in a range of welding
torch geometries. This significantly increa-
ses the service life of wearing parts. At the
same time, the even application of parting
agent prevents the build-up of new dirt.
Device Concept The gas nozzle clamping device on the front of the cleaning device holds the gas nozzle
in place during the cleaning process. A cleaning cutter is used for cleaning. After cleaning,
the parting-agent injection nozzle parting agent is sprayed into the gas nozzle and onto the
face of the gas nozzle.
Applications The cleaning device is exclusively suited for operation in automation and robot applications
and can be used for a range of materials.
Main applications:
- Automotive and supply industry
- Equipment engineering
- Chemical plant construction
- Mechanical engineering, rail vehicle construction
- Construction machinery and special-purpose vehicle construction
