(1) Initial situation: 0°
(2) Movement from 0° to 45° upwards
= First bend
(3) Movement from 45° back to 0°
= Second bend
(4) Movement from 0° to 45° down-
wards
= Third bend
(5) Movement from 45° back to 0°
= Fourth bend
Maximum num-
ber of torch body
bends
With a bending radius of more than 25 mm (1 in.) and a maximum bending angle = 45°,
the following can be achieved
- Gas-cooled welding torches bent at least 1000 times,
- Water-cooled welding torches bent at least 200 times.
