A replacement of the 2.5m Steel Liner, for the Max photonics MA1 series Laser Welding Torch. Steel is suitable for harder wires, such as stainless.
A steel 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 steel liner ensures smooth and consistent wire delivery, which is critical for maintaining high-quality welds.
Functions of a Steel Liner in Laser Welding
-
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.
-
Minimising Friction:
- The smooth surface of the steel liner reduces friction between the wire and the liner, ensuring consistent feed rates.
- Important for maintaining steady wire movement, especially during high-speed welding.
-
Durability:
- Steel liners are highly durable and can withstand wear and tear from the abrasive movement of filler wires, especially harder materials like stainless steel.
-
Supporting Long-Distance Feeding:
- In setups where the wire feeder is far from the torch, the steel liner maintains wire integrity over extended distances.
Maintenance Tips for Steel 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.
