PREMIUM QUALITY THAT PAYS – EWM AG PRESENTS THE NEW PM-MIG/MAG WELDING TORCH SERIES
EWM AG expands its range of MIG/MAG welding torches to
include the PM series for professional users. The newly designed
grip guarantees a comfortable hold, even over long periods,
and illuminates the working area with its motion-activated LED
lighting. Thanks to tried-and-tested EWM quality, the PM welding
torches contribute to the improvement of welding properties and
the quality of the welded seams. Weld spatters can be reduced
considerably – this saves time on finishing work. The standard
welding torches of the PM series are – as are all EWM welding
torches – suitable for use on any commercially available welding
machine with Euro torch connector.
Additional comfort in the tough daily welding routine is always
welcomed. With the new PM torch, EWM delivers noticeable
relief for work.
MORE LIGHT FOR BETTER SIGHT
Excellent welding results require optimal lighting of the
working area. The integrated LED lighting of the new PM
welding torch from EWM ensures that everything is also
clearly visible – even in dark spots on the workpiece. It
is activated automatically as soon as the welding torch
is moved. This independence from the torch trigger
provides protection from incorrect operation and
unintentional arc striking when bringing the welding
torch close to the component.
STANDARD TORCH IN PREMIUM QUALITY
The new PM welding torch from EWM makes its
debut in combination with the new MIG/MAG Titan
Right: The new PM standard welding torches from EWM are also
available with the torch trigger installed at the top.

current and wire feed speed, voltage correction, welding procedure and program, among
others, can be changed and displayed. The top-of-the-range RD3X model even has a display
screen with access to ewm Xnet component management.
XQ multi-process welding machine. But it can also be used in the
standard torch version together with all other MIG/MAG welding
machines – thanks to the Euro torch connector.
READY FOR INDUSTRY 4.0
On the standard torch the torch trigger
can optionally be installed at the top. You
also have the option of selecting function
torches which make remote control of
welding parameters possible. The OLED
graphic display shows the welding parameters in a
user-friendly manner at the welding site. With the
high-end RD3X version the welder can use ewm Xnet
and component management to access a welding
sequence plan. The welding parameters are set
automatically by the system from the stored WPS. The
setting process is less complex and constant quality is
ensured – this way Industry 4.0 can be integrated into
everyday welding.
THE RIGHT WELDING TORCH FOR ANY NEED
Regardless of what the user’s requirements are for cooling,
torch neck and size, the new PM welding torch from EWM
is available in numerous variants. Customers can select the
model which best matches their individual applications:
The choice includes gas or water-cooling as well as short or
long necks. The welding current range extends to 550 A. All
torches are available as function torches.
THE WELDING TORCH PAYS OFF
Robust fabrication, lasting quality and generous dimensioning
of all components – the new PM welding torch also brings
together all these properties which are typical of EWM products.
It scores high points even in a continuous 3-shift operation –
also in terms of efficiency. On the one hand, it lowers the error
rate by an interference-free wire guide, excellent shielding gas
coverage of the arc range and safe current contacting. At the
same time, the use of consumables is also reduced because of the
large material cross section of the contact tips (M7/M9 instead of
M6/M8 as is common in the industry). Substantially better heat
dissipation prevents overheating and extends the service life.
