Periodic cleaning
of arc welding guns is required for proper and reliable operation of robotic arc
welding equipment. The high duty cycle of an automatic operation may require automated
gun cleaning. Systems are available that spray an antispatter agent into the
nozzle of the gun. Additionally, tools that ream the nozzle to remove
accumulated spatter and cut the wire are available. The cleaning system is
automatically activated at
required intervals by the welding control system.
