1 WELDING TORCH
The welding torch forms the in-
terface (incl. hosepack) to the
power source and guides the filler
metal and the arc. The gas nozzle
focuses the stream of outflowing
gas, ensuring clean shielding of
the weld seam. Depending on the
power range and duty cycle, gas-
or water-cooled torches are avail-
able.
2 WIREFEEDER
7 Gas nozzle
The wirefeeder ensures constant,
Contact tip precise and smooth transport of
Wire electrode the filler metal. It is either integrat-
ed into the power source housing
Shielding gas or located externally in its own
3  AS PRESSURE REGU-
G / high deposition rate
LATOR
The gas pressure regulator reg-
ulates and stabilises the desired
shielding gas flow rate.
4 FILLER METAL
Solid wires and flux core wires
function as filler metals.
5 COOLING UNIT
The cooling unit ensures op-
timum cooling of the welding
SPRAY ARC
/ only for thick sheets
/ high amperages required
/ can create flat seams
/ barely any spatter
