ROC has added new units to its range of MIG welding equipment. They are the Lynx Universal single wire feed unit, a number of torches and a fume extraction unit.
The Lynx will deliver the complete range of MIG wire (from 0.8 mm solid to 3.2mm tubular) and its light tubular steel frame protects all working parts, but allows easy access to them.
A 42V shunt wound motor, printed circuitry, and latching and precision adjustment through a thyristor speed control are included in the specification and a spot weld adaptor is optional. Without wire the Lynx weighs about 18 kg (39.61b) and can be carried by one man.
The curved neck torches are angled and balanced to provide easy, comfortable access to all types of weld. Moulded from glass-filled nylon, the torch handles are heat and electrically insulated.
Nozzle assemblies are spring loaded and self-centred to prevent distortion on accidental impact.
Straight-neck torches have pistol grips and telescopic necks for good balance and positioning. And for long runs BOC has produced triggeroperated latching versions.
The smoke extractor clips over any MIG torch nozzle and the extractor hose does not obstruct the welder's view, unbalance the torch or affect the flow of the shielding gas, says the company. The extractor is electrically driven and fumes can either be exhausted to external atmosphere or be recycled through a replaceable multi-pack filter assembly. It is light enough to be carried by the welder.
