MIG/MAG ROBO welding torch
5 Functional description
5 Functional description
The fully functional
MIG/MAG ROBO welding torch
system is made up of the ROBO
welding torch and the cable assembly. Together, the components form a fully-functional unit that
provides an arc for welding when supplied with the appropriate consumables. The welding wire
required for welding is fed through the ROBO welding torch system all the way to the contact
tip. The contact tip transmits the welding current to the welding wire, producing an arc between
the welding wire and the workpiece. The arc and the molten pool are protected by the inert gas
(MIG) and the active gas (MAG).
