Abstract: A welding torch includes a main body and an end portion suited to be fed through the main body with a welding wire and a shielding gas. The end portion includes a welding unit electrically powered and provided with an internal channel for the passage of the welding wire. A conveyor element is provided with an outlet mouth to allow the welding wire to move out of the welding unit and to allow the shielding gas to be conveyed outside of the welding unit. Electrical insulation means are interposed between the welding unit and the conveyor element with an insulation portion made of an electrically non-conductive material. The welding torch includes the conveyor channel suited to convey the shielding gas from the main body to the outlet mouth of the conveyor element. The conveyor channel is delimited at least partially by the insulation portion.

Abstract: A connection system connects a plasma torch to a generator to allow the passage of electric current, the passage of an operating fluid, and of one or more control signals between the generator and the torch. The system includes a first connector and a second connector that are removably connected to each other. The first connector includes a first current-carrying terminal and the second connector having a second current-carrying terminal. The current-carrying terminals are suited to be mutually connected to each other. The first connector includes one or more electric terminals. The second connector includes one or more electric terminals, the connectors being suited to be mutually connected to each other. In the first connector, the electric terminals are movable with respect to the first terminal.

Abstract: The invention is a plasma torch (1; 101; 201) of the type comprising: a first element (20) provided with a through opening (21) serving as an outlet for a plasma flow; a hollow electrode (19) that is developed longitudinally along a main axis (X) and is suited to be positioned with respect to said first element (20) in such a way as to define a striking area, of the type comprising a hollow cavity (25) that extends at least partially along the main axis (X); a first conveyance way (51, 52, 53) suited to convey a carrier gas towards said striking area; a second conveyance way (56, 56a, 56b) suited to convey a portion of the carrier gas towards the inner cavity (25) of the hollow electrode (19), the portion of the carrier gas being suited to cool the hollow electrode (19). This torch comprises conveyance means (59, 60a, 60b) suited to convey the carrier gas from the inner cavity (25) of the hollow electrode (19) towards a way so as not to affect the striking area.
