5 Functional Description
The functioning welding torch system MIG/MAG comprises the following
components:
• Torch neck with equipment parts and parts subject to wear, Handle tube,
Hose assembly including central plug
All elements together form an operating unit which provides an arc for welding
when supplied with the appropriate operating resources. The welding wire
required for welding is fed by the 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 work-piece. The light arc and
the molten pool are protected by the inert gas (MIG) and the active gas
(MAG).
