Welding Fumes Extractor Distance Comparison

🔥 Dive into the world of Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW): A process where a tiny electric arc acts like a lightning bolt, melting a special wire to fuse two metal pieces into one seamless unit. Our top video dramatically illustrates the risks involved when no fume extractor is used, highlighting the importance of such equipment for the safety of the welder and the protection of our environment. 🛠️ Moving to the middle video, observe the nuances of extractor placement. Here, the extractor is set too close at 120mm, inadvertently disrupting the flow of the protective gas shield. This proximity risks the integrity and quality of the weld, demonstrating the critical balance required in this high-precision process. It’s a clear example of how small adjustments can have significant impacts in the realm of welding. ✨ The bottom video showcases the ideal setup: the fume extractor is positioned perfectly at 200mm, striking a harmonious balance that ensures both safety and high-quality welding results. This optimal arrangement is captured using state-of-the-art technology - the Cavitar plug and play schlieren imaging solution coupled with CAVILUX laser illumination. These advanced techniques, along with the use of a high-speed Photron Nova S12 camera, allow us to visualize and understand the subtleties of effective GMAW practices. #WeldingTech #SafetyFirst #PrecisionWelding 🛡️💨🎥✨ Camera: Fasctcam Photron Nova S12 Illumination: #CAVILUX laser illumination Setup: Cavitar Plug&Play Schlieren Imaging Solution Capture frame rate: 1,000 fps . . . . . . #welding #weldingsmostwanted #weldinglife #Shieldinggas #weldingschool #weldporn #MAGwelding #weldingtraining #weldingcareer #weldingcamera #weldingaddicts #weldcamera#weldingtipsandtricks #weldingnation #SlowMotion #welder #MIG #laserillumination #seewhatyouhavemissed #CavitarLasers #3Dprinting #WeldingView #MAG #physics #science #weldingdefect #protectiongas #industrial
