Torch cleaning Fully automated welding torch cleaning

Cleaning and care for a longer service life

For today, tomorrow, and beyond: With the right cleaning, the service life of welding torch wear parts can be increased many times over. Depending on the welding material and application, we offer suitable cleaning systems to match the right welding torches and wear parts; for example, cleaning methods such as milling, brushing, or magnetic cleaning are available for steel or aluminum applications. Cleaning your welding torches ensures there is a proper gas shield and prevents unwanted contamination of the weld pool due to spatter, helping you deliver welds of flawless quality.

The advantages of our cleaning systems

Longer service life for wear parts

Durable and sustainable: Using the right cleaning system for welding torches lets you remove debris efficiently, so you can extend the service life of wear parts.

Increased system availability

An optimal, time-saving method of cleaning the gas nozzle significantly increases system availability by reducing downtimes and ensuring problem-free operation.

Saves costs

The extended service life of the entire system reduces the need for spare parts and maintenance work, thereby reducing costs.

Cleaning for steel applications

There are two options for cleaning steel applications: mechanical cleaning using a milling cutter and magnetic cleaning.

Mechanical cleaning using milling cutter

The mechanical torch cleaner for steel applications is available in three versions: Robacta Reamer V Easy, Robacta Reamer V Comfort, and Robacta Reamer Single/Twin.

During milling cutter cleaning, the gas nozzle is cleaned of steel spatter on the end face and inside. To increase the service life, a parting agent can be used after milling to protect the gas nozzle from contamination. This supports the cleaning effect by reducing spatter adhesion during welding. As a result, the gas nozzle will be easier to clean in the future.

Robacta Reamer V Easy

Mechanical cleaning using milling cutter
Cleaning time of 3–5 seconds
Milling cutter specifically targets wear parts when applying parting agent
Saves time by cleaning and spraying in one position
Dirt discharge into collection vessel
Robot probe for checking the TCP
Optional: electric wire cutter, various cleaning cutters, gas flow control

Robacta Reamer V Comfort

Mechanical cleaning using milling cutter
Cleaning time of 4.5–6 seconds
Parting agent is specifically applied to wear parts via a separate, sealed unit that prevents contamination of the robot cell
Level sensor for cleaning fluid
Separate collecting container for parting agent residues reduces contamination in the robot cell
Integrated TCP check: Detection of TCP displacement and contact tip wear via TCP Touch Sense
Robot probe for checking the TCP
Optional: electric wire cutter, various cleaning cutters, possibility of additional sensors (e.g., wire end sensor), gas flow control

Robacta Reamer Single/Twin

Mechanical cleaning using milling cutter
Cleaning time of 4.5–6.5 seconds
Clean single and twin welding torches with one device
Suitable for torch bodies with 0°, 4°, 8°, and 11° contact tip angles
Wire cutter integrated in the clamping system
Robot probe for checking the TCP
Optional: various cleaning cutters, gas flow control, TCP Touch Sense

Magnetic cleaning for steel applications

No contact required: During magnetic cleaning, the welding torch is magnetically cleaned without contact. This method does not affect the TCP, ensuring that the welding wire is precisely positioned. Plus, wear part surfaces are not damaged, as any spatter that accumulates is removed electromagnetically.

Robacta TC 2000 / TC 2000 Twin

Contactless magnetic cleaning
Cleaning time of 0.5 seconds
TCP is not affected
Service life of gas nozzle is ten times longer compared with mechanical cleaning, since wear part surfaces are not damaged
Available for practically all torch geometries and gas nozzle shapes
Parting agent vessel with level monitoring and automatic refilling
Cleaning possible from 20 seconds charging time
50 seconds charging time until maximum magnetic flux density is available for the cleaning process
Collecting container for welding residues
Four different coils: 30 mm, 35 mm, Twin, LaserHybrid
Optional: electric wire cutter

Cleaning for aluminum and CuSi applications with a brush

In aluminum and CuSi applications, the wear parts are cleaned using a brush. This allows for optimal adaptation to the contour of the gas nozzle and guarantees minimal abrasion of its coating.

Robacta Reamer aluminum brush head

Wear parts cleaned using a brush head on the inside and outside of the gas nozzle
Cleaning time of 3–5 seconds
Optimal access to gas nozzle and contact tip
Quick, tool-free replacement of cleaning brushes
Areas to be cleaned can be selected precisely according to the amount of soiling
Robot probe for checking the TCP
Optional: electric wire cutter, gas flow control
