DESCRIPTION
N6000 TORCH HEAD
FIGURE 1 - N6000 Torch Head
The N6000 TORCH HEAD feeds the jointed electrodes down to the work surface. The Controller
controls and signals the motor on the Torch Head to feed or retract the electrode. This action
maintains arc voltage or current set on the Controller. Standard welding cables supply DC
current to the Torch Head. Compressed air coming from the Contactor connects at the Torch
Head with a 3/8” NPT female pipe elbow.
A Height & Angle Gauge, furnished with the Torch Head, sets the torch angle, electrode stick-
out, and correct air nozzle alignment. A protective cable boot (included) covers the power
connection on the buss bar.
The mounting bracket that comes with the Torch Head allows the Head to fasten to a travel
system or fixture. These brackets allow the head to be adjusted to the proper angle and
position for a particular application, then they can be tighten to hold the mounting position
(See Figure 1).
