Multi-Functional Nozzle Station Technology
The NS-01 Nozzle Station performs wire cutting, nozzle cleaning, and anti-spatter spray application in one continuous cycle. This nozzle cleaning unit eliminates the need for multiple stations while reducing floor space requirements and maintenance complexity.
Wire cutting uses dual cutters to create clean surfaces without burrs, while the reamer pulverizes spatter buildup inside nozzles. Clamping prevents torch vibration during cleaning. Anti-spatter liquid atomizes evenly throughout the nozzle interior, protecting subsequent welding operations.

Nozzle Station Applications in High-Volume Manufacturing
Major automotive welding equipment users like Toyota, Subaru, and Nissan rely on consistent torch performance across thousands of welds per vehicle. The NS-01 Nozzle Station maintains optimal torch condition throughout production runs, preventing quality issues that require rework.
In addition, body assembly lines benefit from automated maintenance during normal production cycles. The nozzle cleaning unit maximizes uptime while ensuring consistent quality throughout long production runs.
Nozzle Station Integration and Operation
The Nozzle Station operates through a six-step automated process. First, the torch inserts into the wire cutter slot and extends the wire from the tip. Dual cutters trim the wire to set length, creating clean surfaces without burrs that could affect arc initiation.
Next, the torch moves to the nozzle cleaning unit slot, where the reamer removes spatter buildup. Clamping holds the torch steady during cleaning, preventing vibration that could trigger safety sensors. Pulverized spatter falls into a collection area without scattering.
Finally, the torch lowers again for anti-spatter application. Atomized liquid coats the nozzle interior evenly, protecting future spatter adhesion. The torch then returns to production, ready for consistent welding performance.
Nozzle Station Applications Across Multiple Industries
Beyond automotive manufacturing, the welding nozzle station serves aerospace, heavy equipment, and general fabrication markets—any robotic welding equipment operation benefits from automated torch maintenance that performs consistently.
Shipbuilding operations require reliable torch performance for structural welds. Construction equipment manufacturers need consistent quality across extended production runs. The NS-01 Nozzle Station delivers comprehensive maintenance regardless of application or industry.
