General
Principle The Robacta Reamer V Twin is used for
the automatic cleaning of MIG/MAG welding torches. The Robacta Reamer V Twin allows you to clean the inside and front of the gas nozzle on a wide range of welding torch shapes. The res­ult is a significant increase in the ser­vice life of wearing parts. At the same time, evenly applying parting agent prevents the build-up of dirt.
Device concept The clamping device on the front of the Robacta Reamer V Twin holds the gas
nozzle in place during cleaning. A cleaning cutter is used to clean the nozzle. After the cleaning process, a parting agent is applied to the inside and front of the gas nozzle through the spray nozzle that is fixed in the middle of the cleaning motor.
EN
