Torch lead/lag angle adjustment device

摘要

A lead/lag torch angle adjustment system for a weld held. The weld head device includes a torch head assembly that includes an electrode. The weld head device also includes a support device that supports the torch head assembly and a barrel assembly that is operatively connected to the torch head assembly and the support device. The barrel assembly is configured to change at least one of a lead angle and a lag angle of the electrode with respect to a workpiece. The barrel assembly includes an adjustment mechanism that includes a first section that is operatively connected to the torch head assembly. The adjustment mechanism also includes a second section that is configured to accept the mount plate. The barrel assembly also includes a mount plate that is operatively connected to the support device and at least one barrel clamp. The barrel clamp is configured to attach to the mount plate and also configured to accept the second section. In some embodiments, the second section is conical shaped, and a transverse movement of the at least one barrel clamp produces a force on the conical shaped second section that forces the second section towards the mount plate.

主权项

1. A weld head device, comprising:
a torch head assembly to hold an electrode; a support device to support the torch head assembly; and a barrel assembly that operatively connects the torch head assembly to the support device, the barrel assembly operable to change a position of the torch head assembly relative to the support device to adjust at least one of a lead angle and a lag angle of the electrode with respect to a workpiece, wherein the barrel assembly comprises,
a mount plate that operatively connects to the support device,an adjustment mechanism comprising,
a first section that operatively connects to the torch head assembly such that the first section moves with the torch head assembly when the position of the torch head is changed, anda second section configured to accept the mount plate, and at least one barrel clamp configured to attach to the mount plate and configured to accept the second section.
