autoclean®
robotic torch maintenance center
Designed to improve overall equipment effectiveness in robotic MIG welding cells, the fully automated AUTOCLEAN® from Nasarc is engineered to increase productivity and quality while minimizing downtime and costs.
Features
01
Automated Nozzle Reamer
Independent reaming cycle using a high strength coated reaming bit designed to effectively remove and discard spatter from nozzle.
02
Automated Nozzle Removal and Replacement
Fully automated removal and replacement allows access to contact tip and diffuser for enhanced cleaning, an industry first.
Engineered to support rapid tip change-out when used in combination with the AUTOTIP® automatic tip changer.
03
Automated Tip and Diffuser Cleaning
Rotary wire brush design ensures thorough cleaning of diffuser portholes and contact tip for more reliable gas delivery and reduced porosity.
04
Automated Wire Cutter
Innovative pinch-off wire cutter design creates a “V” shape for optimal arc starts.
Powerful and precise enough to handle all wire sizes up to 0.063” mild steel.
05
Automated Anti-Spatter Sprayer
Vortex action sprayer delivers a radial spray pattern to uniformly coat the interior surface of the nozzle and help prevent spatter buildup.
06
Nozzle Gas Flow Sensor
Designed to detect and measure adequate gas flow at the point of use.
07
Nozzle Presence Sensor
Post- cleaning, presence sensor ensures the nozzle is secured and ready for the next weld.
08
Intuitive User Interface
Designed to allow for easy setup, diagnostics and reporting at point of use.
