MIG welding torch xFUME® ABIROB® AF500

air-cooledM6M8

Product Overview
The xFUME® ABIROB® AF500 is an air-cooled robotic MIG fume extraction torch engineered for source capture of welding fumes while allowing access to confined weld joints through a slim nozzle profile. It integrates with common cobot platforms and pairs with xFUME® extractors to deliver an efficient, compact extraction solution.

Features and Benefits

• Slim nozzle profile for access to tight welds
• Source-capture using xFUME® extraction technology to reduce ambient fumes
• Preconfigured packages for UR5e, UR10e, UR16e and Fanuc CRX-10 cobots
• Available 180° and 22° swanneck configurations; quick-change swanneck minimizes downtime

Features at a Glance

• Slim profile neck design — maximizes maneuverability and reach in confined welding areas
• xFUME® extraction technology — source-capture design reduces need for large hoods or local enclosures
• EasyTeach or FreeDrive torch mount options — simplifies weld-point programming and integration with cobot systems
