WELDING TORCH SYSTEM WITH INTERCHANGEABLE COUPLING AND WELDING TORCH, TORCH EXCHANGING STATION, UND METHOD OF TAKING UP A TORCH FROM A WELDING TORCH SYSTEM WITH A WELDING ROBOT

摘要

In order to simplify the exchange of a welding torch (2b) on a welding robot, a welding torch system with an interchangeable coupling (2a) and a welding torch (2b), which can be detached from one another, is provided. A first adjusting ring (25a) is resiliently mounted on the interchangeable coupling (2a) and a first adjusting element (32a) is provided. A second adjusting ring (25b) and a second adjusting element (32b) are provided on the welding torch (2b). When the welding torch (2b) is released from the interchangeable coupling (2a), the first adjusting ring (25a) is arranged axially spaced from the first coupling end, so that the first adjusting element (32a) and the second adjusting element (32b) when connecting the welding torch (2b) to the Interchangeable coupling (2a) for aligning the welding torch (2b) relative to the interchangeable coupling (2a) engage before welding torch coupling parts (16a, 16b) interact on the welding torch (2b) and on the interchangeable coupling (2a).
