Blower Airknife Technology

innovative blower airknife
for welding optics

The Tornadoblade^® deflects weld spatter from the point of origin, keeps the space between the optics and the process clean and thus increases the lifetime of the protective glass while drastically reducing the amount of compressed air required.

Since its market launch in 2017, compressed air crossjets have been successively replaced by blower-operated Tornadoblade^® units, both for equipping new systems and retrofitting existing systems. Each one reduces the running operational costs for the owner, as the energy-intensive generation of compressed air is avoided.

Energy saved by all Tornadoblade^® units up to now:

156420259 kWh

What does this mean for your company and your application?

The Tornadoblade^® is available for both scan optics and fixed optics from all manufacturers.
