THEO 103100011 Max Photonics Laser Welding Torch Spare – 3m Teflon Liner

A replacement of the 3m Teflon Liner, for the Max photonics MA1 series Laser Welding Torch. Teflon is suitable for softer wires, such as aluminium.

A Teflon liner in a laser welding torch is a crucial component of the wire feeding system. It serves as a guide for the filler wire as it travels from the wire feeder to the welding torch. The Teflon liner ensures smooth and consistent wire delivery, which is critical for maintaining high-quality welds.

Functions of a Teflon Liner in Laser Welding

1. Wire Guidance:

   • The liner provides a controlled path for the filler wire, ensuring it is delivered accurately to the weld pool.
   • Helps prevent wire misalignment or tangling.

2. Minimising Friction:

   • The smooth surface of the Teflon liner reduces friction between the wire and the liner, ensuring consistent feed rates. Better for softer wires.

3. Wire Protection:

   • Teflon liners are better for reducing scratching or damage to delicate wires, ensuring consistent feeding.

4. Flexibility:
   More flexible than steel liners, making it suitable for intricate feeding paths but less robust under heavy-duty conditions.

Maintenance Tips for Teflon Liners

• Regular Cleaning:
  Remove debris, dust, or metal shavings from the liner to prevent blockages and ensure smooth wire feeding.
• Periodic Inspection:
  Check for wear or damage, and replace the liner if it shows signs of excessive wear or deformation..

A well-maintained steel liner ensures efficient and reliable wire feeding, contributing to consistent laser welding performance.
