Abstract

See full text

A device and a method for contacting a welding wire in a welding torch includes at least two contact shells having a contact area for contacting the welding wire. In order to make the contact of the welding wire as constant and permanent as possible during the lifetime of a contacting device, the contact shells have a holding section and are arranged inside a sleeve to define a rotational axis, the sleeve being fastened to a nozzle pipe having an integrated pressure mechanism. The pressure mechanism is adapted to exert pressure on the contact shells. The sleeve includes a holding device for exerting a counter-force onto the contact shells. The welding wire is contacted in the contact area of the contact shells with a contact force.
