What is this invention?

Motor assembly for a push-pull welding torch

When it comes to welding, a traditional stick welder is typically the go-to method. However, there are times when this type of welder just isn't the best option – like when you're working on larger pieces or need more power than a standard stick can provide. Enter the push-pull torch!A push-pull torch combines the power of a standard welders' torch with the flexibility and mobility of a handheld one – perfect for those tricky tasks that simply wouldn't be possible with a stick welder alone. And, because these torches use electric motors instead of gas ones, they're much quieter too!So if you're looking for an efficient and versatile way to weld metal safely and effectively, don't forget about push-pull torches!

The motor assembly can include a drive motor that is aligned with the first axis, and the welding wire can be fed through the welding torch via the first feed roll and second feed roll. The first feed roll is coupled to the mechanical component, and the plane defined by both rolls is generally parallel to and offset from the first axis. This allows for easy feeding of welding wire into your torch.

What are some key features of the invention?

• Motor assembly for a welding torch

• Rotating the mechanical component about a first axis

• Feeding the welding wire through the welding torch via a first feed roll and a second feed roll

• The first feed roll is operatively coupled with the mechanical component, and the plane is generally parallel to and offset from the first axis

How could this be used?

Motor assemblies and methods for a push-pull torch are disclosed. An example method includes rotating a mechanical component about a first axis in the welding torch using a drive motor aligned with the first axis, and feeding the welding wire through the welding torch via a first feed roll and second feed roll. The first feed roll is operatively coupled with the mechanical component, while the second feed roll defines a plane through which the welding wire passes that is generally parallel to but offset from the first axis. This allows for consistent feeding of wire without having to constantly adjust position of either or both rolls on each pass over an arc Welding electrode

What are some things to look out for with this?

There are a few risks to using a welding torch. The first is that the heat from the flame can cause burns, and second is that if the welding wire becomes too hot, it can start burning through metal.

What are the overall impressions of this invention?

Overall, I think the product is great. It's easy to use and has a lot of features that make it versatile.

Final comment expressed in a poem (written by an A.I.)

There once was a motor assembly
That fed welding wire through a torch
The position could be easily adjusted
So the welds would come out just as expected
This made for a much smoother process
