| New Tweco flexible conductor tube  Tweco has introduced a new flexible conductor tube as an engineered solution to difficult welding challenges. The Tweco design is a reliable, flexible, durable mechanical ball and socket joint that enables the user to achieve virtually infinite adjustment and firm positioning of the conductor tube. The design is a series of mechanical joints instead of off-the-shelf braided copper. It does not suffer from early fatigue-related failure after repeated re-adjustment to new positions by the operator. Each conductor tube is a series of mechanical connections that allow gradual bending of the tube to any angle from straight out of a MIG gun to a maximum of 80º.The conductor tube has been specifically engineered to allow bending while minimizing restriction on wire feeding. In addition, the tube allows the welder to get that same consistent angle and firm feel that a comparable bent rigid tube offers. Models are offered in three or four connector designs. Each three connector design allows a maximum of 60º of bend, four connector tubes are suitable for a maximum of 80º bend. Extended reach tubes are also available. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Construction News :: home page |
