NOZZLE REAMING STATIONS
During robotic applications a reamer should be
employed to keep the nozzle clean. Reaming the noz-
zle between welds will reduce the down time associat-
ed with manual torch cleaning. The M18426-1 ream-
ing station is an option that is recommended for noz-
zle cleaning.
ANTI-SPATTER SPRAY
Anti-spatter compound may be used to keep weld
spatter from accumulating in the nozzle. Anti-spatter
should not be applied through the air blast line. Only
dry air should be used for air blast functions.
Anti-spatter may be applied to the interior of the noz-
zle from an external sprayer. The M18426-1 reaming
station comes equipped with an external spraying sta-
tion for this purpose. Care should be taken to apply
the right amount of anti-spatter to the internal area of
the nozzle. Too much anti-spatter will cause diffuser
clogging and weld porosity. Only a very light covering
of anti-spatter is required to keep the spatter from
clinging to the nozzle.
