A collision protection device for connecting a welding torch connected to a hose pack to a robot arm of a welding robot, comprising two coupling elements that is adapted to be detachably connected to each other by means of magnets, wherein one coupling element is designed to be connected to the welding torch or to a torch coupling that is adapted to be connected to the welding torch, and the other coupling element is designed to be connected to the robot arm, and the coupling elements have openings. The openings in the coupling elements are designed for feeding the hose pack through, and the coupling element that is adapted to be connected to the welding torch or to the torch coupling, or the torch coupling comprises elements to be connected to the hose pack.

Collision protection device

An attachment system, for attaching a gas nozzle on a gas nozzle mount arranged on a welding torch, allows detachable attachment of the gas nozzle. To create such an attachment one part of the gas nozzle mount is designed to be eccentric and for mounting a fixing element. Via an additional part of the gas nozzle mount and via at least one part of a penstock of the welding torch, a guide is formed for the gas nozzle and the gas nozzle can be secured via a rotational movement.
