ABSTRACT:
A strain relief assembly for reducing bending of a welding cable used to deliver welding wire, welding gas and electricity from a welding machine to a welding gun for welding a workpiece. The assembly includes first and second strain relief elements surrounding and extending along the welding cable for supporting and providing strain relief to the cable. The assembly also includes a connector for attaching the strain relief elements to at least one of the machine and the gun. The first strain relief element extends a first distance from the connector for supporting the cable. Thus, the first element reduces bending of a first portion of the cable positioned inside the first strain relief element. The second strain relief element extends a second distance, which is greater than the first distance, from the connector for supporting the cable and the first strain relief element. Thus, the second element reduces bending of the first portion positioned inside the first strain relief element and a second portion of the cable positioned inside the second strain relief element.
