B - DESCRIPTION
8695 9007 / F
B-4
MEC 4
Both versions offer the following possibilities:
Easy removal of the electrode holder from the top of the torch body, for more
speed and no risk of upsetting the mechanical adjustment of the torch.
Pre-adjustment (outside the torch) of the emerged length of the electrode in
relation to the end of the protective nozzle. That pre-adjustment is carried out with
an adjustable tool delivered with the torch.
The parallelepiped shape of the outer body of the torch makes it easier to take
a positioning reference.
The
MEC4
torch is cooled by water circulation and can easily withstand the
most stringent welding requirements up to 500A at 100% (except version
W000315610, limited to 250A at 100%.
As an option, straight and bent
MEC 4
torches may be instantly fitted with the
following additions:
Nozzle with electromagnetic circuit for welding with arc oscillation or
deviation
Large diameter (6.0, 6.4 or 7 mm) electrode holder for high-intensity AC
welding of light allows.
Trailing shield additional to the nozzle for all applications requiring a high
degree of gas shielding for the melted metal. That trailing shield option is
compatible with arc oscillation.
