How the Nozzle Changer Works
The auto nozzle changer operates through a streamlined three-step process. First, the robot positions the worn nozzle for removal, and the system automatically extracts and ejects it. Second, a fresh nozzle loads from the magazine into the replacement position. Third, the new nozzle is installed on the torch, and the robot returns to welding operations.
Ejected nozzles collect in a designated area, keeping the work environment organized and reducing cleanup. Once replacement confirms completion, the robot returns to the production line with minimal interruption. The replacement cycle integrates seamlessly into existing robot programs without requiring special communication protocols.

Automotive Plants Using Nozzle Changer Systems
Toyota, Subaru, and Nissan run production lines where stopping for nozzle changes costs serious money. Body shops especially benefit because robots can swap nozzles during programmed moves between weld points. Frame welding operations keep going instead of waiting for maintenance crews.
The auto nozzle changer works during shift changes or scheduled breaks. Load 10 fresh nozzles at the start of a shift, and your robots handle replacements as needed. No more halting production to change worn nozzles.
Nozzle Changer Reliability in Production
We've built robotic welding equipment for 20 years, so we know what breaks and what doesn't. The NC-002 runs continuously without overheating or jamming. High-volume plants can cycle through nozzles all day without problems.
The mechanical design handles repeated use better than manual replacement tools. There are no delicate sensors or complex programming—just proven components that work shift after shift.
Auto Nozzle Changer Applications Beyond Automotive
Heavy equipment manufacturers use our nozzle changer technology for the production of construction machinery. Shipyards rely on it for months-long structural welding projects. Any shop with robotic welding can benefit from automated nozzle changing technology.
Fabrication shops appreciate not having to train multiple operators on nozzle replacement procedures. The auto nozzle changer handles the job consistently, regardless of who's running the shift.
