AF500
360, A500 are available in the geometries
straight, 22°,
and 45° ben
ds.
The uniform interface at the connection module makes all torch necks
compatibl
e with one another.
5.2
Connection module
The connection module establishes the connection between the welding torch and the cable assembly.

Together, the components form a fully-functional entity that provides an arc for welding when
supplied with the appropriate consumables. The welding wire required for welding is fed through the
xFUME
®
ABIROB
®
AF500
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).
