Zusammenfassung:A welding system includes a wire drive assembly having feed rolls for feeding welding wire through a welding torch assembly. The welding system also includes a rear structure disposed at an upstream end of the welding torch assembly, a forward structure disposed at a downstream end of the welding torch assembly, and a continuous guide structure. The rear structure has a rear structure aperture through which the welding wire is received, the forward structure has a forward structure aperture through which the welding wire is output, and the continuous guide structure is disposed between and coupled to the rear structure aperture and the forward structure aperture. The rear structure aperture is aligned with a first axis, the forward structure aperture is aligned with a second axis, and the first and second axes are offset from each other.
