Rotating arc welding torch

ActiveUS12325096B2Support devices with shieldingCooled electrode holdersProcess engineeringWelding torch
The invention uses the principle of the pneumatic turbine and a cooling system for the entire welding torch, wherein the gas used in the welding process, or even compressed air, enters through a conductor in the axial direction to the consumable, thus moving, a turbine, which in turn moves a tip and a tip holder. The welding torch can be used for extended periods of time at 100% cycle on welding machines of NEMA class I, since it is water cooled. In addition, the torch can be used in any welding source from any manufacturer, whether the machine is new or very old, as the euro standard (socket) is the same. This implies that there is no need to purchase a new welding machine, but only a torch. In construction and assembly environments, such as riser welding, refineries, joint welding, coating, and processes that aim to build a part using only one welding consumable, the use of said torch would bring a significant balance in terms of reduction of time and cost. This torch can also be used in any existing welding device, within the abovementioned processes.
