WELDING DEVICE AND WELDING TORCH

摘要

A welding device comprising a welding station with a welding torch (10) which is connected thereto and from which there extends a welding electrode (13) with a free end (14). The welding electrode (13) is electrically connected, at least during operation, to a suitable electric welding power supply. After fixation means (15) provided for this purpose are released, the welding electrode is axially movable in the welding torch (10), so that the electrode can be adjusted in accordance with use. The welding electrode is herein accessible at an end remote from the free end to a drive member (20) which is intended for and able to enter into co-action with the welding electrode in order to drive the welding electrode out of the welding torch. A fully automatic adjustment is thus possible.
