ABSTRACT:
A MIG welding torch reconditioning apparatus comprises a chuck adapted to receive such a torch in releasably clamped relation between ones of a plurality of selectively moveable cooperative jaws of respective clamps. The jaws are arranged in radially spaced relation around a central axis defining a longitudinal path of insertion for the torch. The clamps is movable to translationally reposition the jaws between: a clamping position in which said jaws are clampingly extended into interfering relation in said path; and, a retracted position wherein said jaws are positioned out of clamping relation, and clear of said path. The apparatus further comprises torch reconditioning tooling arranged in axial register along the common axis. The torch reconditioning tooling is selectively movable relative to the chuck along a longitudinal extent of that axis, to be thereby selectively removably positionable within a clamped torche's interior. In this orientation the tooling is operable to remove at least some of any backsplash deposits laid down on torch surfaces during the course of the torch's normal use.
