Yes, trailing gas nozzles can also be used for forming, e.g. in pipes or along joints. Sufficient space must be available so that the nozzle can be carried along. Particularly with large components, where a large volume needs to be formed, trailing gas nozzles offer the advantage of protecting the hot area locally around the seam more quickly and with less gas, instead of having to purge the entire area for a long time.

OSCAR-PLT can select the right nozzles for you. The size and geometry of the nozzles can vary greatly depending on the process. Our service includes process analysis, welding tests, nozzle design, structural integration and on-site commissioning. The selection of the right nozzles depends on several factors, including the material to be welded, the welding process used and the system environment.

Depending on the angle and position of the camera, it is possible to observe the process. In addition, a cut-out or a sight glass can be inserted into the trailing gas nozzle if a larger viewing area is required.
