FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do you have questions about our company, our products or our services? Then you've come to the right place.

Our drag gas nozzles are not wear parts, but are designed for continuous operation. There are replaceable wear parts in the nozzle body that can be replaced if they become heavily stained (e.g. by welding spatter).

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.

Our trailing gas nozzles can be customised, even from a quantity of just a single piece. Integrated cooling channels are particularly recommended for use with high currents or laser power.
