The invention relates to a method for cleaning welding torches (11) and to a device for cleaning welding torches (11), comprising a device for applying cleaning or wetting liquid to the tip of the welding torch (11) and comprising a coil (3) with an opening (4) for inserting the welding torch (11) in order to subject it to an electromagnetic cleaning. The inventive device also comprises an electric power supply device (7) that is connected to said coil (3). The aim of the invention is to provide a cleaning method that can be executed in a manner that is as rapid and automatable as possible and to create a corresponding cleaning device. To this end, the device for applying cleaning liquid, which consists of, for example, a reservoir (2) or nozzles (32), and the coil (3) are placed inside a common housing (1) together with a refuse reservoir (6), which is located underneath the coil (3) while serving to hold the electromagnetically removed foreign substances. Preferably, the device for applying cleaning liquid is placed inside or underneath the opening (4) of the coil (3) whereby enabling the welding torch (11) to be located in essentially the same position during cleaning.
A method for cleaning welding torches, wherein a cleaning or wetting liquid is applied to the tip of the welding torch and the tip of the welding torch is subsequently exposed to an electromagnetic field for the contactless removal of foreign substances, wherein the welding torch is substantially in the same position during the application of the cleaning liquid or wetting liquid and the subsequent exposure to an electromagnetic field.
An apparatus for cleaning welding torches (11), including a device for applying cleaning liquid to the tip of a welding torch (11), and a coil (3) having an opening (4) for the insertion of the welding torch (11) to subject said welding torch to electromagnetic cleaning, and a supply device (7) connected with said coil (3), wherein the device for applying cleaning liquid and the coil (3) are arranged in a common housing (1) together with a waste receptacle (6) arranged below the coil (3) to receive the electromagnetically removed foreign substances.
An apparatus for cleaning welding torches (11), including a device for applying cleaning liquid to the tip of a welding torch (11), and a coil (3) having an opening (4) for the insertion of the welding torch (11) to subject said welding torch to electromagnetic cleaning, and a supply device (7) connected with said coil (3), wherein the device for applying cleaning liquid is arranged within or below the opening (4) of the coil (3) so as to enable the application of cleaning liquid and said electromagnetic cleaning substantially in the same position of the welding torch (11).
