Abstract: A welding torch includes an inner tube of a helically wound wire to define a passage for a welding wire, a conduit in which the inner tube is inserted, the conduit having a curved portion, a torch body including a tip portion and a nozzle, a torch holder having a gas supplying member that supplies a shield gas into a space between the inner tube and the conduit, a feed unit provided upstream of the torch holder to feed the welding wire forward to or backward from the inner tube, and a sealing mechanism for preventing a reverse flow of the shield gas to the feed unit. A gap is defined between the adjacent wires of the inner tube allowing the shield gas to flow therethrough, and permitting wear debris generated by abrasion of the welding wire sliding in the inner tube to be ejected out from the nozzle.

Abstract: Laser processing device (100) includes a laser oscillator that generates laser beam (LB), laser head (60) that irradiates a workpiece with laser beam (LB), and manipulator (40) on which laser head (60) is mounted. Manipulator (40) includes robot arm (41), arm tip shaft (J6) provided at a tip of robot arm (41) in a manner rotatable about axis (RA), and connector component (50) that connects arm tip shaft (J6) and laser head (60). Connector component (50) is provided with gauge attachment portion (51a) to which gauge (80) is attached removably. Gauge (80) has a reference point corresponding to the focal position of laser beam (LB).

Abstract: To provide a compact welding torch in which a motor can be easily replaced, in which, when a motor capable of high-speed welding is used for a long time in a high current region, heat generated by the motor can be sufficiently cooled, and in which the motor can be protected from spatters or the like. A first cooler that cools a first side surface of a motor parallel to a shaft of the motor and a second cooler that cools a second side surface of the motor different from the first side surface are included. The first cooler has a first inflow port and a first outflow port for a cooling fluid, and a first flow passage that connects the first inflow port and the first outflow port. The second cooler has a second inflow port and a second outflow port for the cooling fluid, and a second flow passage that connects the second inflow port and the second outflow port.
