MIG/MAG Push/Pull welding torch
The most important requirement for the greatest degree of efficiency and weld seam quality is the smooth
conveyance of the wire electrode. This is particularly problematic when:
• Longer tube packages are used,
• Wire electrodes have poor sliding properties,
• Wire electrodes have poor bending strength and
• An especially even wire outlet speed is required.
In this process, additional conveying aids in the torch produce significant improvements in comparison
with pure feed wire conveyors. In addition to a pushing wire feed (PUSH) in the power source / wire feed
case, a pulling wire feed (PULL) is used in the torch.
The two feed motors are synchronised by a current regulator.
