Welding Accessories Specifications

Nozzle


	Nozzle
	Your choices are...
	Alumina		Ceramic nozzle used in TIG welding. Alumina and its composites are valued for high temperature shock resistance.
	Lava		Lava (Hydrous Aluminum Silicate/Pyrophyllite) has a low coefficient of thermal expansion and excellent heat shock characteristics; used in TIG welding. Industrial lava is a mined ore rather than a volcanic product.
	MIG (GMAW)		The Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) process is commonly known as the Metal Inert Gas (MIG) process. MIG welding is also referred to as short circuit transfer. The MIG arc-welding process joins metals by melting base and filler metals with an arc struck between a consumable filler metal wire and the base alloy work piece. The filler metal wire or consumable electrode is continuously fed and fused with the work piece. Externally supplied gas or gas mixtures provide shielding. In normal MIG, no metal is transferred across the arc. Metal is only deposited when the wire actually touches the work across the arc from the electrode to the weld puddle.
	Gas / Acetylene		Gas welding nozzles suitable for welding with fuel gas, oxyacetylene (OA), LP gas, etc.
	Deflection		Nozzle for angled or right angle welding direction.
	Plastic Welding		Nozzles suitable for plastics welding or fusing.
	Scarfing / Cutting		Scarfing is the removal of surface defects, typically with a gas cutting type torch.
	Arc / Plasma / Laser Cutting		Plasma arc welding is similar to TIG (GTAW) welding except a more collimated plasma stream is used to fuse work pieces and/or filler alloys. The torch delivers a high level of heat to a small area producing a high quality weld with a minimal heat affected zone. The tight plasma stream is created by initiating the arc & plasma within the electrode, forcing the stream and arc through a small orifice and transferring the arc to the work piece.
	Other		Unlisted or specialized welding nozzle.
	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.

Wire Feeder

The MIG arc-welding process joins metals by melting base and filler metals with an arc struck between a consumable filler metal wire and the base alloy work piece. The filler metal wire or consumable electrode is continuously fed and fused with the work piece. Externally supplied gas or gas mixtures provide shielding. In normal MIG, no metal is transferred across the arc. Metal is only deposited when the wire actually touches the work across the arc from the electrode to the weld puddle
	TIG (GTAW)		The Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) process is commonly called Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding process. The TIG welding process joins metals by melting base and filler metals with an arc struck between a tungsten electrode and the work piece. The tungsten electrode should not become part of the completed weld in normal operation. Filler metal is typically used and argon inert gas or inert gas mixtures are used for shielding.
	Spool Feeder		Spool or reel mounting in or near gun for automatic feeding of soft wire.
	Laser Welding		Laser welding uses a laser beam to melt the work piece. Laser beams provide a very narrow, concentrated energy source that melts a narrow region resulting in a minimal heat affected zone. The welds can be made without filler metals or consumable electrodes.
	Plasma		Plasma arc welding is similar to TIG (GTAW) welding except a more collimated plasma stream is used to fuse work pieces and/or filler alloys. The torch delivers a high level of heat to a small area producing a high quality weld with a minimal heat affected zone. The tight plasma stream is created by initiating the arc & plasma within the electrode, forcing the stream and arc through a small orifice and transferring the arc to the work piece.
	Submerged Arc		Dedicated plasma cutters or a stick welder capable of using carbon rods for carbon arc cutting.
	Multi-process		Wire feeders suitable for use with several types of welding.
	Other		Unlisted or specialized type of wire feeder.

Positioner / Manipulator


	Positioner / Manipulator
	Your choices are...
	Tube / Circumferential Welder		Machine for the automated rolling of pipe and tube while being welded.
	Turning Roll / Rotator		Large positioner with wheels for the manual or motorized positioning of pipe and tanks.
	Weld Manipulator		Machine for the positioning of weld heads; typically incorporates motorized lift and reach (vertical and horizontal) carriages for assisted or automated positioning.
	Positioner / Turn Table		Table with ability to rotate for workpiece positioning; may also include features such as lifting or tilting functions.
	Longitudinal Seamer		Provide automated lengthwise positioning or motion for longitudinal seam welding of pipe and sheets.
	Robotic Positioning Station		Multi-functional, multi-axis positioning station, typically with digital or computerized control.
	Head / Tail Stock		Head and tail stocks are vertical-face positioners that rotate about a horizontal axis. They are often furnished in mating sets.
	Other		Unlisted or specialized type of weld positioner or manipulator.

General Accessories


	General Accessories
	Your choices are...
	Air System		Includes fresh air supply and systems for evacuation of fumes and vapors.
	Apron / Clothing		Welding apron or other clothing protective of high heat and fire exposure from welding.
	Booth / Curtain		General safety enclosure for working in or behind and isolating welding process from unprotected areas.
	Clamp / Fixture		Device for securing, positioning or fixturing workpieces. Clamps and fixtures are available with mechanical, vacuum and magnetic attachment mechanisms. Mechanical clamping devices or fixtures can be operated through manual, pneumatic or hydraulic or electrical power sources.
	Cooler		Coolers circulate water or other liquids through to the welding gun to provide a heat exchange that keeps the gun cool enough to handle.
	Cylinder Truck / Cart		Carts for the storage and transport of welding gas cylinders; may also accommodate entire weld setup.
	Flashback Arrestor		Flashback arrestors utilize check valves to prevent the reverse flow of gas.
	Gloves		Specialized, highly protective welding hand wear.
	Abrasives / Grinder		Abrasives, grinders or cutting wheels specifically designed or intended for welding applications, including tungsten electrode cutoff, bead weld grinding, edge preparation, etc. Depressed center wheel, cutoff wheels, fibre discs and angle grinders are examples of products include in this category.

	Helmet / Mask / Goggles		Welding helmets, masks, and specially designed goggles provide personal and facial protection against intense light levels, weld spatter, and hot debris.
	Hose		Welding hose is typically for the transport of welding gases, including, oxygen, acetylene, and or liquefied petroleum (LP) gas.
	Hose Reel		Hose reel designed for the storage and take-up of welding gas hoses.
	Marker		Includes relatively simple markers for work layout and higher technology laser markers.
	Nozzle Cleaner		Tool for cleaning used nozzles.
	Planisher		Weld finishing equipment that flattens weld to a surface even with the base metal; roll planishers are often used on finishing circumferential pipe welds.
	Regulator		Sets and controls gas flow to welding process.
